Re: sp 555 or mv 8000

Just for the record, the 555 can't assign multiple effects to a single pad as you mentioned in your post. The 555 can have one active effect on at a time which can be assigned to any of the pads and/or inputs. The only exception to this I can think of is the D-beam filter which effects the entire ...

Re: Echo w/ Fade?

I would set the delay effect up to match the main beat. Set the note value (knob 1) to say 4, 8 or whatever works. Then, have a duration of about 10-12 o'clock on knob 2, and a level of about 12-2 o'clock on knob 3. Then, resample the "make a wish" and right before it says "wish" turn on the delay ...

Re: no effects when using Roll?

All the effects will work on the sample being rolled, you just can't control any of the knobs while you have the roll button pressed. Alternatively, you can use the D-Beam on trigger, as you mentioned, for volume on rolls or the D-Beam filters will work on the roll. Of course, that means you can't ...

Re: Just snagged a "brand new" 303!

Thanks for the tips, sleeps! I'm definitely looking forward to having 2 machines now, and those are some great ways of utilizing what each machine has to offer. I'm already encountering some challenges on the 303 because I'm so used to working with the 555. Also, I've gotta scrap together some bucks ...

Just snagged a "brand new" 303!

So, I was pilfering around in the local guitar/music store, and I stumbled upon a 303 new in the box in the back of the store today! The price tag said $395.00/discount price $335.75. So, of course I had to tell the guy that worked there that that was like selling a '04 car as a new car just because ...

Re: Power Supply Question

So, the back of the 555 only says "USE ROLAND PSB-1U ADAPTOR ONLY" of course because Roland would rather you buy their expensive ish! The adaptor itself has the actually specs on it though, which are:

INPUT: 100-240V-,0.4A,
50-60Hz (+)--(o--(-)
OUTPUT: +9.0V---2A 18W MAX

The Roland adaptor is $29 ...

Re: microkorg or microkorg xl or dsi mopho

I don't know about the mopho, but I went with the MicroKorg xl and couldn't be happier. The xl blows doors on the original micro IMO, and personally I prefer the 70's inspired look.

Re: Cheap but good headphones...

Just ordered a pair of the Audio Technica ATHM40FS too. They're only $56 on Amazon with free shipping! I'm pretty sure they're going to be a lot better than my old set of Sony MDR-7502's I've been hatin on for years. The Sony's have no bass, are uncomfortable to wear for very long, and still cost ...
