SP-FORUMS

EXTSOURCE or not, I still wish the SP-303 and SP-505 would have been able to sample *and* keep the signal through live like the SP-202 does. When you stop recording, the throughput continues while it processes on the SP-202. On the others, you have to re-arm EXT after having taken a sample. I didn't ...

Ill Green: You're so totally right bruv. DURP! I chopped that bit out of the post for dudes in the future, but good catch man. *above I said something wrong overlooking EXT SOURCE. Peace man, thanks.

I got an SP-505 and tried to slave it to DR-202.

As much as I hate to say it, this configuration was more disappointing than the non-matching MIDI implementations between the DR-202 and SP-202 (but much less of a conspiracy).

The SP-505 slays. No question. What it lacks is more than made up for ...

I got a 505 last night and put this down. Might be my new main gun... Thanks yall.

I rolled all 16 channels and couldn't find a combo that made the knobs work (all MIDI SYNC settings tested too).

The DR-202 doesn't sequence REV/DLY or FLANGER. This doesn't mean a DAW or other sequencer wouldn't though.

My guess on it is that either it's wrong in the manual or there was a ...

I still haven't had quality time to sit down and run all 16 channels on all octaves on the DR-202 (had some drama pop off and haven't had the alone time yet) but to answer the question, a normal MIDI sequencer ought to but the DR-202 sequencer might or might not. I have to admit I've never tried ...

Here's a rusty ass beat, all 303. Most of the stuff I make breaks with SP purity
but this one is just... I couldn't throw it away and rhyme off it and what.

Been grinding on this some more.
Just for the lulz I called Roland US which, of course, didn't get anywhere.

The DR-202_OM (pg.62) says:
About the SP-202: This is one of the samplers in the BOSS Dr. Series. When playing back or conducting simple sampling (recording) using the included CD, a ...

I agree that it ought to be possible (as stated in the manual) but I have yet to find a combination of settings by changing channels or kit octaves that works for the SP-202 (not for lack of effort). The SP-303 knobs worked right away with no additional tweaks other than matching the channels to the ...

*Also, it's worth mentioning that you can change the EXT=3 MIDI setting on the DR-202 to a lower channel. This should scoot down the keymap (and subsequently where to set OCTAVE= in the KIT to get the MIDI to answer but it doesn't.

It's dangerous to go alone! Take this.

I'm writing this out of a lack of documentation on how to use DR-202 MIDI OUT with either an SP-202 or SP-303. Hope it helps somebody.

First off, a DR-202 is a really slept on machine for what it is. It has three MIDI channels (DRUM, BASS, and EXT). All of them can be used for MIDI, but this ...

I know this is super old, but this took me a bit to figure out so I hope it helps somebody. 1. hold TIME/BPM while cutting on the 303 and turn it to 'oFF'. 2. Set your DR-202 EXT channel to whatever matches the SP-303 (in the manual). After that, you may not get any sound. Here's the money: What you ...
