ok when you guys down load the battle sample and drum sample, how do you go about getting it into your sp do you sample from a cd/mp3 player or do you load that shizzy right into your sampler and sorry one more question while im at it...the 555 has a lo-fi button but i cant just press it when ever i want i think its only for sampling mode right so if i want my one shots to be in lo-fi ide have to mess with the lo-fi comp setting in the mfx....correct???? thanx guys im tripping hehe

yeah man, after you his Rec to sample in, then hit the Lo-fi button and it will light up (that's how it is on the 404 anyway)

for the battles, i have the sample track play in Winamp and record into my 404 from the computer (sometimes with an effect on the recording) always in Lo-fi mode
usually a section i record to one pad will end up Resampled across 3 or 4 pads in smaller sections

thanx man you def answered my questions perfect man for reals homie thanx!!!

well...looks like we are in the clear now. But you can never know for sure with these things. Looking like its gonna nail Cuba pretty nasty tonight. God be with them.
