new owner of a Sp-555 - and some questions
Posted: 10:49, 14 April 2008
Hi, just got my 555 today and i basically have 7 days before i can no longer exchange it. I've been playing around with it and the filters and effects seem really good... i was able to record into the unit from my turntable easily and so far i'm very pleased at how intuitive this is.
I already have a M-Audio Axiom, and a Motu traveler but i was having a hell of a time getting the axiom to work the way i wanted it to with the software on the computer.
Anyways, my question is -- why are people you saying you can't sequence on this puppy? It is my understanding that Dilla used the Boss SP-303 to create his donuts album while he was in the hospiltal on his bed. Also madlib swears by it.
Another question -- is there anyway to record the live effects that i'm doing and then adding it to the loop? --- like let's say i play a rhythm by toggling back and forth from a filter to the isolation tool, can i save those and add it to the loop?
I have so many questions but i cant remember them all -- i'm running on 2 or 3 hours of sleep lol...
anyways, another quick question is that i would really like to be able to mute certain elements in the track on the fly, how do i do this?
Like let's say i import a sample and then i want to add a rhythm into it by muting/unmuting ... also it needs to be HOLD=mute, Release=unmute -- not toggle because two presses is way to slow to do what i'm trying to do.
any resources or walkthroughs or tutorials for this machine just to get a feel for it would be appreciated... thanks.
Also, can the 555 use higher than approved sized CF cards? and which model of CF card is the best for the 555?
