what does sp stand for

Post by tape smoke »

sampled percussion ?

here is some cool stuff about sampling

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyquist%E2 ... ng_theorem

its mostly scientific jargon , but kind of makes sence.

and if you type SP into google it pops up first suppresive personality disorder .

there is also a nasa sp-404 site, but it has nothing to do with a 404.

Just a thought: s am p ler ? :wink:

I don't know, but perhaps it's not so much an abbreviation. I can't think of what MV of the MV8000 and MV8800 series is supposed to mean in this context. Monstrously Verocious?
