[Mun0z387]

Do a tutorial of the SP-303

[joeyjuggaknotts]

this is my baby. i've had mine since '98. it greatly compliments new pieces of software or hardware as your arsonal grows. the original disk drive went bad, i ordered a new one from roland and replaced it myself.

[Whatj]

Garbage ....

[BeatsNRhyms]

man this sampler is a waste of money,very cheap quality for hardware,better get fruity loops

[e174st]

Can I put seperate precusions to each padlike an Ensoniq asr or an mpc?

[goddogcattac696]

the display window looks shocking.

[snolan1990]

This is nineties technology

[kalakaking]

hi someone can tell me how can i recover a data front a disc on sp 808, data is on the disc but is not reading

[xdigitalhorrorx]

yes, u can chop or trim ur samples

[koentjes]

does the sp-808 have a sample chopping function? hit me back please

[fivefoflow]

No, but the MC 808 does now, at least from what I hear.

[xdigitalhorrorx]

yes, u can chop or trim ur samples

[hejustkeepsleeping]

Can anyone tell me where they are getting the 100MB Zip disks cheap, because I'm finding them for around $15 each even when bundled.

[snolan1990]

just check ebay i got 3x250MB zips for £1

[TheStoicAgnostic]

i like mine

i see at as the broke man's MPC

but at least zip disks are outdated and you can get a ton cheap

the real time effects on it are still very useful but i have to admit, the ease and variation of computer programs for making beats is awesome

[chakoh1]

yeahhh i still have mine,very good machine.

[kwaameh]

i will never sell this machine..best sampling machine by far..the only thing is that it didnt came with sensitive pads (1998 while mpc was showing the 60,2000 and 3000)for the rest..20 bits sampling..tons of effects.this machine will introduce you to the sampling world with the best manner.oh yea u can find it for less than 350$ now.very good deal

[BroncoBill321]

im watching one on ebay at the moment

im not 100% sure what im buying but i know i need a sampler

ive been using reason 3.0 for about a year now

do you think this is somthing i need ? or should i be looking at other pieces of equipment ??

[cadabraa]

If you don't know what you're looking for, this might be a bad idea. The SP-808 is great for sure, but Reason does quite some things ten times easier. I think you should look in the direction of MPC1000 or SP-606 perhaps if you really want a good hardware sampler. (the two mentioned aren't exactly the same kind of thing though). What music style are you looking for?
