Re: how do i send click to drummer?

lol.

you could use the headphone output to send to the drummer. then he'd hear everything tho as opposed to just the click, but it might still work.

Re: Using SP-404 with a Behringer FCB1010

Just get the UNO chip. It's only like 10 dollars and it fixes the velocity problem. I put one in my FCB1010 and it works perfectly.

Re: Sampler/Looper/Tweaker for Live Band use?

I was looking for something like this for a long time and gave up trying to find a synced looper (for cheap). You aren't going to find a sampler that does this well, the 555 is definitely the closest choice. An ESX-1 definitely won't do it either. You'll want to look at loop pedals - maybe the EHX ...

Re: sp 404 vs new SX (please read)

While I haven't used the SX, if you have the opportunity to return the 404, I would for sure get the SX. Even if you have to pay 100 dollars more, the SX comes with a 1gb card so that will take care of your memory issue. And pattern and sample copy will make your workflow a lot faster. Also the ...

Re: midi footpedal problems!

You can't do it with the Rolls because it doesn't send Midi Notes, only CC messages. You've got to get the Behringer FCB1010 isntead.

You can't. Cheapest way to do it is with the Behringer FCB1010. Sorry dude.

Re: SP-555 in ableton

Not sure off hand, but look in the manual under connecting the 555 to a computer and changing the Signal Flow. One of those combinations will probably help you out.

Re: Andrei Tarkovsky

I've seen a little of Stalker and I used to own Solyaris (Steven Soderbergh remade it with George Clooney but I'm not interested in watching it). Solyaris is super amazing, and I've always wanted to watch all of Tarkovsky's movies - he only has like 7. They are all so long though and it's hard to ...

Re: Finally Bought an SP 555

That's a cool idea. Is that using the regular Pitch function or the Chromatic Pitch Effect?

Re: Switching Effects

there isn't a pause when switching effects but i think it's different than the 404sx. from the videos that i saw, the effects on the 404sx actually transition which would be a really cool feature to have. resampling can definitely take care of that though.

Finally Bought an SP 555

My friend sold me his for 400 dollars and I just got it with a Paypal credit card. After going back and forth between various SPs for awhile (and owning a 303, 404, and 606) I finally got the one I always dreamed about.

After playing with it for about 6 hours last night, it is the best music gear ...

Re: Workflow

I'll check yr myspace's when I'm not at work. This unit sounds pretty cool. I'm debating between getting it and a 404SX with a KP3. Or maybe a 505 with a KP3.

I don't really need autochop or pitching or anything so those selling points aren't really useful. I was mainly looking at the SP 505 ...
