How about this...?

Hey, last night I had an idea, but didn't tried it yet, so I wanna know your opinion:

Besides my loved MPC500, I have an SP-505 wich I bought recently. I'm diggin' it, altough it has some limitations, the small number of banks and small memory. By the other hand, it has good efects, a good isolator, 3 sample modes for mono (standard, long, and hi-fi), and has the ability to apply the effects when sampling (it's handy because saves some time resampling).

What I'm thinking is: Can I plug my turntable (that's already amplified) into my SP-505, plug the out's of the 505 into the in's of my MPC500? This way I could sample,chop, and sequence in the mpc500, and still apply the 505 effects! My question is, having the sound going through an intermediate sampler, would it make it worse?

Maybe I'm asking a basic question, but I've never plugged 2 samplers...Hell, I've never had 2 samplers before, lol...

Cheers!

Go for it. It ain't gonna degrade your audio signal enough to really notice.

yeah man, just keep the levels reasonable all the way though and the quality should be pretty close to the same.

Thanks! I'm about to try that when I get home!

Either way, this 505 thing rules!
