SP-FORUMS

The 404sx uses it's function button and pad 2 (labeled "exchange"). So in theory it would be faster and simpler on the sx, but in practice... IT DELETES MY SAMPLES! This new 404 keeps disappointing me. First I find out the VinylSim is WEAK, now this. Pshhhhhhh... Keep your old 404s.

Whenever I try to use the exchange feature on my new 404sx, it deletes both samples instead of switching them. I'm using the card that came with it. I hope they didn't send me a funked-up card. Anybody else experience this?

It's old, but it's great.

It emulates two 303's, an 808, and a 909 + some effects (The distortion is awesomely old-school). And it sounds alright too. It's poifect for making loops, especially if you're into dance-type stuff. Obviously it would also be good for 808 lovers.

I was messing around ...

I've always used the same 2 sandisk cards and never had a problem.

For recording, I use a tascam dp02cf. The sound quality is really decent. There's USB out so everything I record can be sent to my computer. And the eq on it is pretty legit.

But I would still look into computer recording before ...

Hmm... It seems tremolo/pan isn't affected by the pattern's bpm or the sample's bpm. Weak...

Stupid question? Or impossible? Somebody HALP!

Any way to do this? Or Tempo sync other effects, like phaser?

Thanks dude. Lot of good info. But i need to squeeze a little more out of you if i may. Is the file swapping between the 555 and the pc a seamless and, more importantly, intuitive process? I don't want to sift through menus and be turning equipment on and off and all that kind of thing. If I wanted ...

Basically, I want to be able to record to the pads, and edit/layer/arrange/whatever them on my computer DAW style. Can I do this with the 555? I can't record into my PC because it sounds like crap and my PC is too old and retarded to put money into (getting a new one soon hopefully). I was going to ...

Would I be able to sequence a Microkorg with a MC-303? I'm not talking about syncing the MK's arpeggiator with the 303. I want to create original melodies and have the MK play them. This could be a really dumb question, as I don't know much about the 303 or MIDI in general. I was wondering this ...

This is driving me nuts. I have some 808 samples that, as far as I know, should work. But when I try to import them, they don't. I'm particularly happy with these samples, and would really like to get them working. Any suggestions???

EDIT: And no, there aren't unsupported characters in the filenames.

I'm looking to buy my first hardware sampler. I'm really anxious to break out of the very non-musical pc workflow, but I'm not so sure about which sampler is best for me. At first, I was dead set on an MPC. But those things are so grossly overpriced considering the tech they use and the out-of-box ...
