SP-FORUMS

Most looper pedals and delay pedals with looping functionality are stomp-start recording, stomp-end loop so you usually can't set a BPM before hand, it'll loop whatever you did between stomps. There are some that have midi tho so you could sync them up to some other gear with clock out. I think the ...

I'm gonna try make the time to break my battle virginity on here.. I haven't really produced a full track on the 404 before so its a good learning exercise to break away from the sequencers for a bit.

I'm in.

damn. I was wanting to get in on the action as Kirby and home-run bat it out the park. Maybe I should visit here more often

here's something I've been working on. Just a couple patterns at this stage but I might work on some rhymes to lay over the top.

When I got home I realised that the SP404's PSU is infact a PSB-1U.. blonde moment.

the MC-303 is working well apart from 16 years of grime and abuse (its firmware Ver 1.03 produced in 1997 and the most stable). the main volume knob is broken loose but still works.. sorta.

Have a copy of the ...

Awesome. Thanks.

Only reason I bought the MC303 is to test it out thoroughly then pass it on to one of my friends wanting to start down the long hard road of addiction and frustration that is hardware music production. I have more than enough gear already... But I get the feeling that the MC303s ...

I picked myself up an old Roland MC303 groovebox but it doesnt have the original PSU.

It runs on 9V DC 500mA center negative 'barrel type' (like standard Boss guitar pedals)

and the SP404 is 9V DC 2A max (not sure about polarity tho.. will check when I get home)

should I take the risk after ...

awesome cover pic ideas!

eisendraht's one for the win

I'm down but cant make any promises.. I'm still behind on other projects I should be working on.

If I had a funk-ton more time (and a full version of my game-making software) I could make an official beat-tape game using tracks from the album ...

errr... the maschine can't do anything without a pc... except be an expensive paperweight. "standalone" don't mean jack... just that you don't have to be looking at your pc screen to know what you're doing.

I don't think Roland will release another standalone groovebox... maybe.. it seems unlikely ...

great stuff all round. would like to step into the ring on a future battle... should give me some new perspectives on track composition.

if you're looking for a relatively cheap but heavily featured multitrack recorder; have a look at the Zoom R16 (8 tracks simultaneous recording, 16 tracks total)... the R24 (bigger brother of R16) has sampling and a basic sequencer. I have an R16.. biggest let down: no MIDI.
