SP-FORUMS

Oh, and will I finally be able to trigger a sample to cut off another sample?

That's a good question, I'm wondering that too. I think I'm gonna get one though, the built in sound card and software seems too good to pass up, especially when I'm short on cash and want an SP-303 upgrade.

Yeah, I have a 303 so I'm used to having to copy it to all the pads and cut it down. But what about polyphony? That seems to be the main thing bothering people in reviews about them. Is there a way around that?

I just can't justify it based on it's chopping. From what I've heard from different people, it only has the autochop and basically the equivalent of the mark button on my 303. I was hoping to at least be able to bring up a waveform and chop that like an MPC. Ideally I would also like to be able to ...

I'm about to buy this interface I think (I've finally decided) and I just want to make sure that it will work properly with the 404 (well, I have a 303, but they use midi the same and this board is a lot more active than the 303 board. Hope you guys don't mind.)

Anyway, here it is:

Yeah, I do, and it works just fine.

Those are both sick ideas. Thanks a lot, that's exactly what I was looking for.

Yeah, I have one, but since this is a 303 it's really time consuming, and it's a lot quicker for me to sample straight into the SP from the headphone jack in my computer. I just need to figure out a way to get it to go into my SP as well as out of my speakers so I can hear what I'm recording into ...

Hey guys, I was looking for a little wiring help for my SP-303.

Basically, I have a basic sound card and basic speakers on my computer. I currently have the SP wired into the sound card so that it comes out of the speakers as well as the computer's sounds, basically the audio in. It lets me ...

I have to jiggle my headphone plug around and pull it out about 1/8 of an inch for it to be in stereo. Try that. I'm not sure why it works that way, but it works just fine.

Yeah, I think I'll still like it. Anything has to be better than loading up Adobe, finding a loop, loading Recycle, chopping the loop, and loading Reason, to make the song. I'd much rather do it all on one device, even if it does have a few more limitations.

I also like those 505 joint you have ...

What do you mean by "slow?" I'm interested in getting one. Is it slow because of the visual interface, or slow because it has like fat loading times?

Well, I do want to play it live, that's why I'm getting the 404 instead of Reason. Maybe I'll rethink the way I want to do this; obviously if this many people like it, there's not a whole bunch of crap that makes it impossible to use

But yeah, thanks a lot guy, that post helped a lot. I ...

I knew you could record directly in, but I was wondering about tracking it out. Maybe I'm totally dillusional, because I'm aware it only uses one track, but say in a beat I have an intro, a bassline, a drum loop, a hook, and a verse. Do I have to lay the drums, bass, and samples for every one, or ...

Okay, it looks like I've settled on the 404, now all I need to do is pick out an interface to get it to work with my computer. I was just curious what DAWs and audio interfaces you guys use with your SPs and maybe what steps you take to get it on to the computer from the device. I'm pretty new to ...
