SP-FORUMS

A Novation Circuit? I saw a Ricky Tinez video where he sequenced his SP-404SX with a Circuit. Can the same be done with a Sampletrak?

Great stuff. I love how retro it sounds.

I figured out the resampling, and now most of the samples in there are "mono-long". lo-fi sounded pretty bad so I didn't do that. I have one more open sample bank so I'll just convert the rest of the stuff in there to mono-long cuz it's giving me the memory full error msg again. I hope I'll still be ...

Cool thx!

I see from the manual that a maximum of 2 minutes of sampling time is all that can be stored in the 505. So all the samples I'm using are 16-bit mono, but It looks like I've still maxed out the internal memory. Is there a way to change the bit depth of the samples I've stored, or do I have to do it ...

Just created a user bank w/ several different loops and slices of loops. Not too hard and fun too.

Copy/Paste-ed 54mb of samples on to the card, scrolled through them on the SP, it works! I even loaded a loop and chopped it, than had some fun applying effects and grooving on the pads. Thanks for the good advice, folks!

Very nice!

Danke! Is it true that I can only put 150 samples total on the card no matter how much storage it has, due to the file system it uses? I read that on sonicstate.com.

I got a reader. put the SM card into it(after formatting it in the 505), and saw a folder called Roland, within which is a folder SP1, within which is a file SMPINFO0.SP1. I want to add some samples from my hard drive. They just go in the SP1 folder, right? in any order I want to put them?

Duh. Looks like I was just Pitching them an octave too high. I tried again and it sounds better.

Looks like it's fixed! I took your advice and reinitialized, Everything appeards to be working. There's an annoying vibrato when the piano notes are pitched, though. Is that just a normal artifact of pitch-stretching?

Just tried to do Pitch again, following the manual's instructions exactly. Instead of getting "Processing Data", or "OK to Overwrite?" I get "Error!!! Memory Full". The error message list refers me to page 69(delete unneeded date) or page 49(delete unneeded samples). The manual's instructions do not ...

I'm looking at the 505 now and I'm noticing the top section of the Pitch page. where it says Pad#, Type, Preset 1-2 and Mono. Shouldn't I be able to access that top half of the screen and specify which pad I want pitched? Just hitting the pad dosen't seem to be doing it.

Dang it. Got the thing off ebay for $160.00, maybe there was a reason it was so cheap. Yeah, I don't get either, it was working for Olby.
