SP-FORUMS

B.1 In this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoYGHb6szwE at 05:00 the dude samples sound straight into the pad he chose (this seems like a great feature for me), now, I assume you can do the exact same with turntable hooked into it? (Yes this was a question, a really stupid one ...

i think i'm going to try and run the sp through the microkorg via midi and then run the microkorg through fl studio via midi. i'm hoping to be able to build tracks on there and record.

anyone have any other suggestions?

You can't "run the sp through the microkorg via midi".
Again, the SP doesn't ...

Is it government police-state propaganda teaching everyone at childhood to keep their head down and stay on the path?

Congrats, you got it. Our society works mainly by fear: you fear being given a ticket or losing your license, so you don't speed too bad. You fear not being accepted so you get ...

springwater: proper soundcard with native ASIO drivers solves the issue. If you're a zero-latency junkie like me, get a PCI/PCIe one and enjoy 1ms latency.

ahahaha what? the swing on the SX works exactly like on every other machine what did you expect, wax?

Old SP-404 has:

- hard to obtain obsolete CF cards
- divided pad banks on internal memory and card. Sucks for backups because the backup function only backs up the internal memory. On the SX, backup means the whole machine state with ALL samples and ALL patterns on ALL banks.
- no swing in the ...

Maybe have a kind of pitch reference at hand, anything with stable pitch will suffice, even toy keyboards. You can use those guitar tuners too. Then find the next note on the keyboard for the sound you want to sample and match by ear until it's good enough.

Not exactly analog, but



Does all "analog" sounds with ease and more, great control too.
You can get those used for around 300-400 bucks these days.

Digital.






























Seriously, need more info.

5 x 180g = 900g excluding covers, unless you have some 120g records among them.

I win!

When I had a 404SX I thought it added a lot of extra stuff to the sound. I recorded these hi-hat samples and they had all these harmonics that were not there in the original sample.

Ur doin it wrong

No seriously, maybe it was harmonics from slightly overdriving the input? I sometimes do that on ...

Since the Nanozwerg is mono anyways, it won't be a problem as long as you don't overdrive the input. But maybe you'd even like that! Acid Techno anyone?

Hm, here's what I particulary like about the 404SX: it sounds very clean and neutral and does NOT add any character to the sound

Maybe use a small pa/studio mixer - they have headphone outputs (loud too) and are very convenient for routing and monitoring.
