SP-FORUMS

Decided to move up in the world so sold my SP404SX and bought a Toraiz SP-16 cheap from eBay, initial feelings are this was completely the right move.

The only way to do it would be to chop the sample on the pads of your SP and play them via midi using the keys of your keyboards.
As far as I can see (after a swift Google) neither of those keyboards have the ability to play user samples internally.

I've bought and sold a few SP's over the years (202,303,404SX,505 & 808) and the only two that I bought a!second time were the 505 and 404SX.
I liked my 303 but I'd bought it for cheap after selling my first 404SX and to be honest I just found it less convenient to use.

I don't currently own an 808 but would consider buying one again and backing this project if I can find one for a reasonable price. It's only the dreaded Zip disks that have currently put me off the machine.

They don't turn up that often in the UK, you're probably best off buying one from the US or Japan, just make sure it's a reputable seller.
Also I'd recommend getting a later grey and black model instead of an older all grey unit.
As for price I doubt you'll get one for under £3k these days unless ...

I'm interested do you have any idea on pricing ?

Looks incredible, I wonder if it will push Roland to release a new sampler ? Not long until NAMM 2017...

That looks amazing please tell me it will run on OSX too ? I'd actually pay for a finished bankrobberesque app.

Saw this online today and it looks very promising, although the price tag is hefty !!!

If a zip replacement becomes reality I'd certainly be looking to pick up a secondhand SP-808 again.

Yes, you've more than enough gear to make that sort of music. All you need to add is pile a old records...

For anyone is interested I have a Discogs store :-

I use these too, they have two sizes, one for tablets and one slightly bigger for laptops.
The bigger one is perfect for drum machines like Akai Rhythm Wolf or the Machine Mikro.

In the UK they seem to usually sell for around the £200-£230 however the last auction I watched on eBay.uk sold for £275 which was more than I expected !
Most of the ones that pop up on eBay from Japan seem to be priced around the same area but you have to figure shipping and possible customs ...
