I listened to People or the corner, or (or was it standing on the corner?) and I thought the album I listened to started off very promising, but didn't hold my attention for the duration.
I might try a different recording tho.

Well sotc is certainly sonically very different from the other artists ...

I actually think that if you were to use samples in a live context, a real, continuous pitch would be better. I have used the Sp808 in a live band, live sampling, improvised context and with the vari-pitch wheel you can change pitch by either 1% margins or 0.1% margins. Much like a violin player ...

Debatable.

I agree but they are still mostly known for their music that is not totally improvised (except for Ayler but he always plays melodies first). Anyway Sun Ra, Albert Ayler and John Coltrane are in my 5 favorite musicians so it is nice that you mention them.

We are from Belgium so you are close :wink: . Still I'm somewhat familiar with Mengelberg and recall hearing an album of Han and Misha with Dudu Pakwana which I liked a lot. I should check out more of their music.

Hi everyone

I play free jazz with 2 friends and want to use my sp to play samples live (as well as add fxs, do live sampling, ... but that is not relevant). However, since the music is improvised it is not determined beforehand what key(s) we will play in. So if I save my samples all in the same ...

Hi

I have the following problem: when I connect a synth to my 555 via the line input I barely hear the audio coming from it. Turning the 'line in level' knob doesn't affect the volume so I suspect something is broken. The mic input works fine still. I haven't tried to connect another instrument but ...

Hi I'm new to all sp devices but I'm planning to pick one up. I found an sp-808 for 75 euros which I guess is a good deal but I wonder if the sp-808 has an effect similar to the djfx looper effect. I ask this because the djfx sound is one of the main reasons I started looking into the sp machines ...
