7th City - Tutorial - Tracking Out Beats on a SP 555 (404 & 404sx)

[dplocus123]

Hey man can you help me out im about to get a 404sx but then the 555 started sounding better. Can you tell me witch one you think is better. And im using it to sample key board sounds with. Would one be better then the other by any chance in that case. Thanks

Good video 7th....you inspired me to do sampletrak video last year! I'm looking at the Sp555 now.. I might cop one soon. I've already done the MPC thing to death so I think this would be dope to make beats on the fly and do live performances! Thanks for doing this vid!

You can do it with the 303 as well, using the isolator effect (all three control knobs to the left)-- I just figured that out about 3 weeks ago lol. I was like, "that's how Madlib does it!" The only problem with it is that when you turn the isolator effect off the effect tends to remain on the last sample button you press after holding the remain button-- I guess that only matters when you're doing the live stuff. Long time no see on the SP boards. Hope you're still making music man. -AbCents

peace , thanks for the tip cuz I didn't know that and that trick speeds up the process in my opinion. This video makes me sure that my next sampler is gonna be the 555.I got the 404sx right now.

Hey 7th city. I currently have a 404 sx and am thinking of what to buy next - a 303 or a 404. Reason for this, is primarily because I want to do beatmaking with as little computer use as possible, and thus am faced with how to record any beats made using the 404 pattern sequencer externally. Now, if I use a 555, I can make beats and use the loop capture feature, but with the 303 I can make beats on the 404 pattern sequencer and record them into the 303. Do you have any input? Also, great vid.
