SP-FORUMS

Hi there.

Are there any problems connecting the 606 to a mac for transferring the samples into the machine?

I am on OSX 10.11. Does it also work on newer OSX-versions?

Cheers, and thanks in advance

Well, you can assign effects to the 4 knobs the MPC Live offers.

Holy Schnitzel!

The MPC Live may be finally a substitution for my SP-808´s.

I see myself ending up with papers on stage in the end of 2016. But then again: why not?

I hope my english is sufficent enough to explain my issue:

From time to time the values of effects are jumping around wildly when using the knobs. I only make use of the cut-off and resonance filters when performing live.
I already made use of a spray on the knobs, but somehow this didn't fix it ...

Thanks!

What irritates me is that the SP-555 has no real display. No chance naming banks, right? This would make it difficult.

The more I think about it, the more I want to keep my 808´s and get the SD-thingie into them.

One dumb question about the SP-555:

Is it possible to store all the songs and their samples on just one sd-card and then being able to load them quickly? I would want to avoid changing sd-cards during a gig. 2 GB would be enough for our songs.

Cheers, and thanks in advance.

Here´s the way I´m ...

Wow, I didn´t expect so many good replies so fast. Well appreciated, guys!

The reason for my "modernize" comment is simple:

All in all we have 6 units of the 808´s. Each of them has its quirks and to be honest: they´re not really predictable anymore. That´s my problem with my beloved machines ...

I´d mail them as well.

Hi there.

Using the 808´s on stage since 1999. Superb machines, no question, but as time goes by I´d really like to convert to something modern.

But what to go for?

All I do on stage is to fire up homegrown loops. Don´t need anything else.

All I need:

- 16 pads
- at least 8 banks per Song (16 ...

So i might look for some 750-MB Zip-drives instead.

By the way - as much as i love me those 808´s, as much i´m amazed that during all these years NO other machine by Roland, Boss oder anyone else could give my band exactly, what the 808´s do. Strange stuff. We´d be completely open ...

First of all i want to say hello as a new user of this board and at the same time i´d like to thank you all for the infos in this great thread.
I´m a user of the SP-808´s since 1999 now and am still using them for my live-appearances in combination with a drummer. As i shoot my homegrown samples ...
