How to get a beat out of 303

Post by d.david82 »

Hello. If I get it right, in order to export a beat from the 303, you need an external sound card, with the help of which you can record it to the computer. Since I don't have it, a question appeared. Are there any other ways to export from sp-303? Thanks!

If you have a 3,5mm mic in (pink jack beside the headphone jack) on
your computer use that and a program to record with like Audition or a DAW.
The cable you need in that case is a RCA to 3.5mm.
Other ways i think i using a card reader, but i don´t know if your computer will
handle the file format since i believe the 303 uses a compressed file format.
There are tiny USB soundcards the size of a memory stick you can buy for $5
if you are on a budgett.

Post some beats later and i will have a listen.

Lit it on fire and invoke all the spirits. All your beats will emerge from the ashes of the SP303.

You can also use the same cable Chris told you but plug that into your cell phone's earphone input if you do not have the pink input in your laptop (many cell phone's inputs work as microphones inputs). Even if your laptop does not have the pink input, worth a try. I know there is a bunch of outputs that can work as inputs nowadays, but if you are going to do that, lower the volume of your 303 first.

Also, keep in mind that outputs that work just as outputs could be damaged by letting something that generates an input signal plugged into them for a long time.
