Re: Does it work with an iPad?

Connecting the SP-555 is no problem at all provided the SP-555 can transmit and receive midi/sysex data. There is an app for example called Midi Designer that will allow you to create your own controller. It's awesome.

For recording and looping audio, all you need is something like the Roland Duo ...

Re: New CF Drive working in SP808

To anyone attempting to install a CF card reader in the SP-808, the real test is sampling and saving that sample on the new CF card. There is a long history of attempts that stop at the actual act of sampling. Installing a reader and getting the display to show extra sample time is common with most ...

Re: IDE to Compact Flash

IDE to Compact Flash devices are a dime a dozen these days. There are so many makes and models that one can't really ask if anyone has tried a particular model. It's more productive honestly to just try as many as you can and cross your fingers that one will work and post your results on the forums ...

Re: Just got an 808!

I still use it quite a bit, but honestly the Zip drive has to go. The noise and everything else about it drives me crazy. One of these days there will be a break through with the drive and we'll be using CF or SD cards. When that day comes, I believe the price of the SP-808 will increase and people ...

Re: Black EX 2.5 hardrive done

Hi everyone,

We need to put an end to this nonsense.

aliencall's information is incorrect, grossly misleading, and quite frankly SPAM in my opinion. With only one post to his name and the lack of follow-up, it also should be deleted so as to not cause further confusion. Any moderators out there ...

Re: Black EX 2.5 hardrive done

I thought Hard Drives for the SP-808 only worked when the OS was upgraded to the A6 version. Does an HD work with just the standard SP-808 EX OS?

Roland SP-606 and Windows 7 (32bit)

Hi everyone,

I just picked up a mint condition Roland SP-606 for $150 bucks here in Tokyo, JAPAN. I checked online at Roland and found the P606 software and drivers for WinXP without any problems ( They didn't have Win7 of course and Vista isn't compatible). I then installed it on Windows 7 which ...
