Help! sp 303 samples end in bleeping noises

Post by Pandavhs »

Whats up Sp users, I've had the 303 for a while now but for some reason lately when I'm re-arranging samples through out the pads the sample gets messed up and plays for half a second but eventually just turns into bleeps/beeps. It's not the memory being full because it's actually not.

I've noticed its been happening in the C and D banks. could the memory card get messed up somehow?

Also this started happening after I saved the cards info onto my computer and reformatted again to use it on the 303.

Has anybody had any experience with this?

Thank yous.

Try to reformat the SM card in your 303. If you are still having troubles with audio glitching it is probably due to the card itself. This seems to happen on all models of the SP and not just the 303.

This has happened to me more times that I'd like to say. I'd say it is the card too, but I've solved this problem many times by just deleting those banks and starting fresh. No reformatting or anything, just delete, make sure the card is clean and in all the way and starting over. I seem to remember most of the time this would happen after trying to use the pattern sequencer. Almost like the data between the sample and the pattern seq. was getting mixed up. This may just be a coincidence though. My suggestion would be to check out those bleeps though and resample to a/b, just in case they sound awesome.
