SP-FORUMS

Scored this for cheap. Some guys on Reverb wanted $300. Wasn’t willing to pay that, but I can do $130.

Just decided to score a Zoom SB 246. It’s a hip hop version of the 234, so it has like a sample library in a mini drum machine, and I paid $130, which is a tad cheaper than a Volca Beats. (Which I do own, but rarely use). I bought a Akai XR20 but it just sorta lives in my closet. I think I’ll take ...

Yeah, thinking of saving up for that. But might get the SP404 mk2 first. Just gotta hunker down with the LF6.

I'm back. Just bought a Sonicware Lofi6 Sampler. Need to sit down with it and learn it though.

It doesn't get any more crunchy than 6 bit! But they're $299 instead of $240, and, you better hurry. Only 500 units made! Which leaves me to wonder, should I get both? Well, I did my taxes. Last year I made enough to get my Roland MC909. This year, I'm ...

Had some spending money, and I decided to get a couple Hungry Robot Modular pedals, VCA & ASDR. I wanted a Attenuator pedal as well, but that can wait.

Got the SIMM card, sampled the RD6 into it, saved a sample, but playback after I write it sounds tooooo quiet! I’ll have to figure out how to play back samples so you can hear them!

One thing that’s cool, you can sample things at different notes/pitches, so you can be pretty precise with your ...

Thought this might wet your appetite for the new update.

I’ll be sampling once I pop the SIMM card I ordered. Sunday at the least. I’ll try to review this after I feel more comfortable with its features.

I finally started messing around with the patches with the editor. You can crank almost every parameter for the Envelope/LFOs/Amp, etc, and it just won’t crash! I love that. Some features I know are there but haven’t discovered where it’s hiding. (Like the Apreggator). This is one piece of gear that ...

My SIMM card should arrive today for my MC909. As I just found out the sampler doesn’t downgrade anything you sample. Just straight up 44khz. No big deal. It’s why I have my ST224, SP202, S20 & SP505 for that. Probably busy until Sunday but I’ll give the sampling a go. See how I like it compared to ...

Bought a Roland SRX-05 Supreme Dance card for the MC909, and I have the 256MB memory ready to pop in as well. Just need that 128MB SIMM card to arrive.

Thank you! I’ll definitely try this. I got the weekend off, so I’m just planning on staying home and going through some YouTube 909 tutorials. Got a paper manual, 256mb Ram card, and a 128mb SIMM card. If it’s not gonna work I’ll try with a different one. Worst case scenario I just fill up a 128mb ...

Where do I order that card? Because I just purchased a 128mb Simm card for $35. I’d prefer to have 256, even though Roland didn’t officially have that feature supported.

Sorry, tooting my horn all over this site! Got my MC909 finally. I’m not sure after I’ve learned everything it can do if I’ll want a MV8800, Akai MPC, or RS7000, or a MC707, but that is furthest from my mind for now. My MC909 might have some Stale cheesy Doritos of patterns, but there are some good ...
