SP-FORUMS

Yes I've tried using SP555 live with microphone in SP-555. I tried to sing through it. It's tricky and very hard to get the volume level between Mic and the music that you play from SP555. When you level up the Mic volume to adjust with the music/pattern/sample it gives feedback because you really ...

A simple and common feature which is very important yet which is impossible to do in SP-555 is assigning MIDI notes.

One of the worst cons/demerits of SP-555 is that the PADS RECEIVE FIXED NOTES AND YOU CAN'T ASSIGN MIDI AS YOU WANT unless you use third part software or hardware. Even the fixed ...

Hi,

Can you please give me more details of the option :

"1. document what the fixed notes are, program you other module to send those notes"

I want to use SP-555 as a midi controller to play drums. This will not effect the quality of the sound. When we sample in SP-555 the quality of the sound ...

When you use SP-555 as a controller for a module/synthesizer the pads receive fixed notes. For example if pads 1, 2, 3 ,4 and 5 will receive A, B, C,D, and F notes you cannot assign a different note. Maybe I'm missing something n the manual but I cannot assign the notes/signal that I wish to like ...

Hi,

Has anyone find out a way to assign MIDI notes to SP-555 pads? Originally it was impossible to assign MIDI notes to the pads, it was fixed which made it very impossible to play Drums through MIDI cable from another module/synth.

Thanks.

Hi Schopper,

The MIDI signal in SP-555 pads are fixed. You cannot assign particular/individual MIDI to the pads as you wish. Very very very frustrating.

Hey Franctic which miserable dream/Driver upgraded the MIDI issue in SP-555?

Still then...SP-555 is alive and kicking on the stage.

Hi,

I can't decide whether I should buy a SP-555 or a SP-606? Can someone please help me. I want a gear that is studio oriented.

Thanks.

Taj.

SP555 more live oriented...MV series Studio oriented. They are two different machines I believe. D-Beam may not help very much in recording but during live performance its very handy.

But I do remorse that there is no D-Beam in MV Series. I know you spent a lot to get that gear. :D Also sorry that ...

Yes "few," we want many.

Hi DJ Frantic,

Why don't you guys push Roland to come out with V1.04. I know you have some access to Roland.

Taj

zzzzzzzz....

This SP555 V1.04 made the most unbelievable upgrades of any firmware in the history of mankind:

1.MIDI is now Assignable to pads and not fixed. You can assign any MIDI to any pad.

2.Pads transition with a tap. You can change from one pad to another while its on loop mode. Just one ...

Hi,

Thanks for your help but I still don't think SP555 is doing any better with the GOLD button:

1. For example I'm playing a loop in pad 1 and want to go to pad 2... unless I press both hold and pad 2 at the same time... the loops of both 1 and 2 keep playing.

2. I cannot turn off the HOLD ...

Hi,

Please read this though its lengthy...

Does anyone knows how to change from one pad to another by just tapping the next pad you want to play.

1. While playing on LOOP mode we need to press two pads while changing from one to the other pad; to shut the pad thats playing and press the other ...

Thanx.

Hi,

Is there any way to increase the D Beam Synth sounds? We have 8 Sounds and 8 effects preset. Is this a standard factory synth sounds for Roland's D Beam?

Thanx!
