SP606 Video Tutorial?
I was wondering is there a video tutorial of the SP606, beside the roland site?

No Not really.. I'm just looking for a more in-depth information about the D-Beam and re-sampling part

Mmm, what kind of info are you looking for? The D-beam has quite a lot of settings you can alter making it sound different. You can alter it's pitch, range, type of synth and so on in great detail. Personally I think the D-beam on the SP-555 sounds a little bit better, but with some tweaking the SP-606 D-beam is as useful as the 555 one.
Resampling basically does what one would expect. You're able to sample a pad with an effect or do a realtime-like resample. A bit difficult to explain in words perhaps, so yeah a video about that might give some better inside.
I can't promise anything (anytime soon, that is), but perhaps I can make a video for you. Any other areas you'd like some more info on? D-beam and it's settings, resampling and what's possible sounds like a good area to start with. I'm not an expert, but I can tell a thing or two about it for sure.

Man, that would be tight as hell... Hey with the D-beam what exactly is it used for? can I program it? like assign it to pads and create a riff or a melody out of it?
Also can you record the Kick an Snare at 8th notes? then on track 2 can I record the Hi-hats at 32nd notes.. then track 3 throw in a bass at 16th notes?

Nah, you can't put the D-beam synth on pads directly, but there's definitely a work-around for that. You can record the tones of the D-beam you like and sample them to a pad, that way you cán have the synth across the pads. It won't be a matter of pushing one button though, you'd have to sample every tone individually.
The D-beam can be used for a lot of things. From baseline tones to even short scratch-like effect stuff. The 'reverse' effect together with some quick hand movements over the D-beam with the right settings can provide a very nice scratchy sound for example. You simply need to mess around a lot with the D-beam and effects to fully understand what's possible, but if you want you can even make a hi-hat like sound out of it after resampling a sampled D-beam tone a few time with effects applied. It really is powerful if you know what you're doing. Can't share too much secrets yet, because I haven't discovered all that's possible with it yet.
I don't think it's possible to record different tracks with different quantize setting in 1 song so to say, but it's more a matter of getting your timing right on the 32th notes and you get the same thing. You can always correct your stuff using the micro edit function. You can go in, search for the error and change it. I haven't used that a lot though, more often I simply re-do it just to hone my rythm skills. I'm not very good yet.
Anyways basically the answer to your last question is 'yes', but not with the quantize changed per track.
I'll see if I can put a tutorial video together sometime next week. I'll be in Germany the rest of this week.
