SP-FORUMS

If you ever find yourself in Holland around april or november you should go to Utrecht. It's a city in the centre of Holland that hosts europe's largest record fair twice a year. Vinylsellers and experts from all over the world are represented. Literally hundreds of stands with tens of thousands of ...

Okay, guess that will do. Hooked it up yesterday, and had some problems with setting up a proper midi channel. But after a while I got it working. This is a setup I could get used to easily. Love the fact it's forcing you to really think different and approach the way you construct a beat. Primitive ...

That's just wrong! Find your own drums. I guess people don't follow the code anymore.

First vid actually inspired me to try sequencing my 303 with my mpc, but left me with some questions. Second vid, the guy has his mpc turned off so this video isn't really relevant.

I've had the 303 for some time now. Love it for it's sampling and effect aspect but absolutely hate it's sequencing abilities. I tried to use it stand alone and didn't like it. I tried to use it as a effects unit to process sound before it hits my MPC, and kinda liked it but some things I didn't ...

I sequence in my MPC 2000XL. And track out to Pro Tools M-Powered 8.
Hate sequencing on my 303 so I use that joint as effectunit in my signalchain from turntable to MPC. Love the 303's sound though!

Well, you won't get Sp1200 type "fairydust" on a MPC, but is does sound more grainy and slightly more dull. After now two days of experimenting I can say that on my MP it works best for bass sounds and especialy kicks. Anything with more high frequencies I'll sample normal speed but with the SP303's ...

I just checked that topic, and that's 99 % the same method I tried. Still I believe that sampling 45 rpm and slowing down gives it a little bit extra oomph. Maybe my ears are playing tricks on me... I gotta do some more a/b testing.

Finally found a use for the SP303. Left it gathering dust for a ...

The S950 is not as crunchy as the SP1200. The 303 gives an exaggerated 12 bit crunch, that's why I like it and prefer it above the S950.
I'll def check that method you mentioned.

Thanx

Yo,

Anyone ever tried this? I sample and sequence with my trusty Mpc 2000 XL.
My signal path is : Turntable>Dj mixer with 3 band eq>SP 303>MPC 2000 XL.
I use the SP303 as an effects unit. I'll dial up a LO-FI setting on the SP and let the sound go thru it.

Yesterday I experimented with 45RPM ...

Hey y'all,

Just got a 303 last weekend. I'm excited about it! Coming from a 2000 XL, which
I still use, the 303 was fun from the first minutes on.
I love the effects and how you can tweak 'em. Also the more primitive way
of recording patterns pushes me to get creative.
I really like the 3 sample ...
