SP-FORUMS

Yep, this happens on mine all the time. Generally when I'm going crazy on the mark button, or reversing stuff a lot. I assume it is overload, but I bet you could workaround this if you changed the sound quality of the samples down to 16 bit or something like that. will report.

You can make mad beats with just a 303. But it doesn't come with any factory sounds or anything like that in it. You have to sample all your own sounds. There is no piano like capabilities that a lot of other systems have (e.g. Korg ES's or EX's, Yamaha SU's etc.)

LimpyLoo has it right. Once you have you sample on, let's say 4 pads, chop the basic parts you want. Then go in and use the start/end/level button to manipulate the start mark and end mark.
