"this DBeam thingy, its just there because it can be and i can see no real use for it. "
You can get filter-sweep with a d-beam that are impossible with just knobs, or even a touch pad. If you use filter-sweeps in your music then a d-beam has a very real use...
sp555 myth (not a review)
Re: sp555 myth (not a review)
another question i have about the sp555 is , can you sample via usb? I know it can be used as a souncard but can you sample via usb? thanks
Re: sp555 myth (not a review)
Yes the USB is 2 way
audio IN/OUT
audio IN/OUT
Good points.
What's up guy's.
I think that you both made very good points on your revue about the SP-555 advantages as well as disadvantages along with your clarifications. Good Job V-ceeoh & Quinnx and all who had an opinion about the SP-555.
I have had the SP-555 for a few weeks now and I must say that I like it for the purpose that I'm using it for.
Understanding that every ones purpose would be different,
I just recently started using it as a DJ piece as well as recently started DJ'ing for different occasions.
As a producer and song writer first, I am using it as a ( scratch pad) writers tool with samples and a built in mic. As a DJ music enhancer, I use it such as, playing fat bass drum sounds and patterns sampled loops when mixing live, the crowd go crazy.
Also, when doing re mixes it's the best, I fill my CF cards full of samples and mix away with this baby.
I also use it with a 800mA DC 9 V. car adaptor when the wife is shopping, she could take her time while I am in the car making beats.... that's what's up.
OK, now the cons: I was a little bothered that you will need to keep the pads at its designated fixed midi note numbers (can't change them) if you would like to use it as a controller pad like the Trigger Fingers or an Akai MPD 24,
but I guess you could work around that one, if the gear you want to control can adjust to the SP-555 pad numbers.
I was also a little bothered about the time signature could only be used in the 4/4 area so any 3/6 or 3/8 something with other time signatures ''forget it'' I will need to use the MPC 1000 or Motif XS or Sonar for that.
I believe that it delivered what it said that it would according to the manual, and I also like the way that Roland came out very quickly with an OS update, that shows support.
I am still waiting for the Korg Zero 4 + 8 mixers to fix the meany problems that it has for months, and Korg is not talking about any OS update releases as of yet.
As far as sampling manually, I would (time) feel out the delay in the sampler and press start when the sampling started, if that doesn't work I would use the PC and edit the sample, then drag it on the CF card, place it into the SP-555 and it's perfect, you only need to get it right once.
Good job guy's we need to know the truth about gear from us, the end users, not just the hype from the company's. Thanks guy's.
Peace & blessings.

This is a neat work around that seems to address this complaint. Audio no longer stops with loop capture functions. Haven't tried it myself yet
