confused about exproting with cards
okay i dont have 1 yet but i want to get a roland sp 404.and i've heard exporting you have to use a card.i have a compaq laptop if i get one where do i put it i have a slot on the side of the laptop is that it.i think it is but i wanna make sure before i buy.im pretty sure though but then i dont know!lol
hey man
cards are more useful for importing. any sound you want out of the 404 you'll probably record from it's outputs. with a card you can export sounds from the 404, but not patterns (you can backup patterns to the card though, but your PC won't make sense of these files)
the compact flash card requires a card reader (like this http://www.meritline.com/apacer-am300-3 ... eader.html )
it'll attach to your usb and you can drag wav files onto the card to then assign to a pad within the 404
i have used a card to put sounds into my 404, but only once to see how it was done. i find it alot easier to record the sounds in as it is more task-oriented, as soon as the sound is recorded in you can hit the pad immediately and check out it's usefulness. i find dragging wav files onto the compact flash to be too distanced from the actual act of playing the 404. so don't focus too much on card worries
edit: by recording in i mean use an external source (ie your PC/turntable/discman) plugged into the 404's inputs, then record the sound
