What equipment should I use?

Post by Fredskt1 »

Whats up Sp users?!
Im new to the forum, ordered my 404sx a couple of days ago and trying to figure out this:

- I use Fl studio, have a MPK Mini and a padKontrol
- Have an old Philips turntable wich i wish to use for sampling
- I'll use a micro music system (can't afford monitors at the moment) as my speakers, it has Aux in's and that strap like conection for speakers with no RCA plugs but wire ones
- I wish to be able to hear the records on the turntable, sample it to the 404Sx and without unpplugin anything hear the sounds from the 404sx in the same speakers as the turn table.

That said, my question is: wich piece of equipment would help me achieiving that?

Sorry for my bad english.
Cheers from Brazil!! :mrgreen: :D

i'm assuming your turntable has a ground wire, so you'll need a mixer. a cheap numark will do. then you connect the mixer with an RCA wire to the input of the SP. then you have to hook up an AUX cord to the output of the SP to the AUX in of your Speaker system. make sure you press the external source button when sampling. in external source mode, you can adjust the volume by pressing the start/end/level button.
