SP-FORUMS

How does the 808 perform live compared to say the 404 or 555?

I'm digging through the manuals, though it would be good to get an idea from someone who has actually used them.

IN particular, creating loops and playing them back as seamlessly and easily as possible from an external source ...

Hi,

Just got a used 303 and so far I've been unable to play anything through the 303 to either record or apply effects using the ext source pad.
