i've been trying to load up samples on the 555 for a couple days now, and it connects perfectly. but as soon as i click on IMPORT it just quits immediately.
I've tried restarting my computer and even uninstalling the wav converter and reinstalling it again, but still it does the same thing. It's weird because I just loaded up samples last week, it only started acting up now.

any ideas?

what OS are you using?

Mac 10.5.2

yea it may be a mac thing...

i havent heard of any problems with windows

damn... thanks though hurlingdervish. you're always around to help out haha.
if anyone else can help me it'd be rad. i still have no idea what it is, i tried verifying the card and everything seems to be ok... i honestly don't know what it is

I'd recommend just sampling into your SP through the USB.

hey count, that sounds like a good alternative. but i'm not too sure how to do it...?

is there another thread somewhere that explains how...or what software you can use?... I use audacity, is there a way to sample from there through usb?

when u plug your 555 into your mac through usb connection it acts like a soundcard ( you just need to install proper drivers which were included on a cd shipped with 555, or just download it here )

then u must change your present soundcard somehow in your mac ( on WinXP I do this in Control Panel/Sounds

after that every sound which comes from your mac, goes through the 555 and then u hear it in your speakers ( plugged to 555 ).

so all you need to do is:
hit sampling pad ->destination pad ->hit sampling again -> and play the sound from your mac
when u're done just hit the sampling pad once again

basically, that's how it works ( someone correct me if not - cuz I sold my 555 few weeks ago - but when I had it, I used it as my main soundcard also )

thanks elhuana i got it to work. why did you sell your 555

I sold my 555 cuz there was no chemistry between this machine and me.

After using 404, I wanted to buy something new, with more options and I thought that 555 will be just what I need.
It turned out that it wasnt that.

So I picked up 606, and Im lovin it! ( dopest things here are: mute groups, 4 track sequencer, 2mfx at a time and really good overall workflow )
