never mind. i figured it out! great video here for anyone who might need it in the future:

ableton has an external effect FX in the list. You would have to have an audio interface capable of having another output to your sp then your sp would go back in. Otherwise you would end up just doing it the work around way of sending the sound to your sp, sampling it, then sending it back in. I ...

couldn't you import them one by one with the sp-555 wav converter?
i never had any troule importing or exporting samples with it.

Hi again,

i have been using the sp as my sound card for quite a while now and usually never had any problems. maybe a crash here and there but nothing like this:
i started a new ableton project and got mostly audio tracks in it. one vst so far.
when i hit play it works fine but after a little while ...

i just updated it. going to get at least one more cf card and then one that was mentioned on here.
but yea, backing up is the key. you always have to go to the goddamn computer. feel like my eyes are tiny squares from looking at screens.
thanks

just reading this now.
thanks! thats perfect

Hey there,

so this happened to me the second time now. i turn my sp on and when i try to go through my samples i have to format the card.
has this happened to anyone else? what can i do to prevent this?

i always took really good care after it happened the first time. always hit "cancel" four times ...

yea, i wanted to do this yesterday and then i figured out it was bullshit. sorry.
one possibility to not having to go back and forth with the sample would be plugging it into your sound card via the cinch output on the back. but if you're using the sp-555 as your soundcard then there's no way ...

hey there,
just play back the clip in ableton with the effect turned on and record it onto a new track in ableton.

i had the same problem and i'm kind of doing the same to solve it. i look for the right samples in ableton, drag them into audacity and then export as .wav. that makes them 16 bit.
if there's a better way i am listening!
but i guess you always have to convert them.

ok the best way was to export it with usb and then add to ableton.
kind of a hassle but im loving the results
take care

he records everything using the loop capture. you can choose to loop 1, 2 or 4 bars (with the bpm that you have set) or record freely up to 15 seconds and overdub it as it loops (with rec button lit of course)
hope that helps

hmmm
doesnt seem to work. the volume on my headphones is still lower when i play back the clip i recorded in ableton compared to hitting the pad.
the gain doesnt really change anything except that the sound rolls over (?) and it gets really loud without me doing anything.

Hey,
so i decided to get an sp-555 and so far i dont regret it.... having lots of fun.
now i finished some bars with different sounds and i want to record them in ableton.
i have my 555 connected via usb and everything works fine but the volume on the recordings is just very low. how can i get the ...

thanks, appreciate it! i wouldnt only the sp tho. just to get some ideas going. i would add stuff in live. so far i feel like it would integrate well. going to bid on one tomorrow.
