I love it.
But i have a problem. when i run the sequencer the sample playback has anomalies in it. it sounds like lagging. any1 ever expreienced anything like this? i could post an audio expample if that would help identify the problem.
Thanks

all i did was press play on the sequencer. could it be a automatic timestretch thing?
im a total sp noob...

damn. it was a timestretch problem. playback was 115 and sample bpm was 122. PROBLEM SOLVED. it took me five days to figure this out. :oops:

lol welcome to the club Ptah. 505 is a beast of a machine.
i continue to search, but cant find anything to 100% replace it. long live smartmedia!

In the sample menu settings change it from "phrase" to "single". This will make the 505 play the sample exactly as you recorded it without any time stretching. I never use the time stretching on my 505.

cool invoulontary effect!
another trick to do that it's the bpm sync function (but not when sequencer is working)

Yeah thats a cool effect to use in the long run. I used to do some fake dub step by putting a slow sample over some fast paced drums. Timestretch sounds better on a pattern than stretching a sample IMO.
