SP-FORUMS

that quadra merge thing/thru is pretty tite! i googled and saw 2 of em. a "thru" 1 in 4out. and the "merge" that is 4 in 1 out. i could see wonderful uses for each...especially with some sound modules. my homeboy, vintage rocks a hardware midi-sequencer brain type of machine, now that's just crazy ...

question: if you do decide to use the sp-555 i/o via usb, can you use that in conjunction with another sound device on your pc? like having the sound go from the sp to the pc but still have an output on your soundcard working?

good lookin out and gettin me rollin on this, foreal.

some advancements over here. figure i'd share since most of the peoples and info on this site have been really helpful to me. sharing is good, right?

i've been developing a crazy technique, kind of tough to describe, but i'll do my best ...

allright, allright
many hours spent last night messin with this. here's where i got.

i hooked up the sp-5 midi out to my soundcard's midi in (m-audio delta 1010lt)... WORKED!! i wish the pads were assigned with middle C landing on a pad1. that would make things more practical in terms of ...

ahhh. your method is basically how i start out. i turn the effect on and then start manually adding all the pads. then start subtractin' to bring sounds in.

Q: is there a "master effect" on this, or way to achieve it quickly?,, meaning, can you go BLAM and have your effect on ALL of the tracks ...

Okay, I know I'm all over the place today, but I "need more input (johny #5".

Maybe I'm overlooking something really obvious here... is there a way that you can use the sp-555 as a loop-playing device and then turn on/off the samples(loops)? I've simulated this by placing all of the pads under ...

yo fran, wadup?! i can always count on you!

i've got some other related questions, feel free to chime in with your midi-hookin-up expertise, u guys....

Okay, let's say i've got my controller hooked up to the pc and i'm using that to do most of the inputing of data (notes, knobs, automations ...

word, gospel.

imo, when you master midi, you transform into an octopus-armed aural manipulating , time-travellin extra terrestrial.

how else can you play the same notes on 4 keyboards at the same time?

how else can you play something sloppily and then travel back in time and at your ...

One of the reasons I got the sp-555 was to be able to chop up loops and be able to drum out the parts with pads. Since then I've been totally neglecting the machine. I've developed a work around for splitting up samples and loops and playing them. I use the FL slicer and can either export the slices ...

affirmative.

i ordered a 1gb for $20 from another place, they didn't specify the brand of the card.. i basically took a chance on a cheapo. turns out they sent me another Adata card. same thing. not reliable. acts funny.

sandisk. and sandisk only, for now. please post if something else works ...

sooo time consuming to load files form your computer onto each pad...one ata time

yeah, frantic. i hear ya. what's up with no drag n drop? what's up with no click to audition? needs work if it's going to be a "tool", yaknow?

well, well. i'll have to check it while i wrecks it!! (replacing samples) .. i'll try it. thanks guys

in ref to card >> i know my card was Adata, and i'm not sure if it is because its 2gb, but it would lock up the 555 and then i would put it in the card reader and the WaveConv app wouldn't ...

Dr.Sample 303 sed: This happens with my 303 pads and it does take time to get used to, but that's one of my favorite features now.


After playing with the sp-555 for a good 6 hours, i'm starting to agree with you. I think its just the nature of the buttons. They are designed kind of loose so ...

imo,
rythm is everything. kinda like a bassist. it can be one note, but it has to be on rythm. complex isn't always better. most times, something simple done repetetively with good rythm sounds way better.

oh yeah, "scratch everyday".. couldn't have been said better.

yea, what's up with that?!

i posted about that as well here
>> viewtopic.php?t=1005

i wonder if that's something that can be updated through software?
