I just made a little video showing people how to make a pattern with the SP303. It is kind of limited and not very intuitive so I thought I would help out some people who commented on my last video.
Hi I have a SP 404 (not sx) and want to find out how the autotrigger function for recording works. Its differnt than the SX version. Unfortunetly I only found tutorials for the SX . But I read somewhere that even the SP 303 had this function, so I asume it works similar. Would you mind to explain how to set the autotrigger?
What was the name of that thing BOSS/ ROLAND made in the late 90s or early 2000s that was like a modern remake of the 303? it had the same design style as the first SP-202 sampler... I have it in a box in my closet but I'm too lazy to dig it out, but yeah it's like a modern 303 combined with other Roland drum machines...
I am sure you have figured it out by now but you can either sample directly into the machine on edit samples in your computer and then drag and drop the files to the smart media card. You will of course need a USB to smart media card reader to be able to do this though. I found one for about 6 dollars used on an auction.
that's another thing a bit wonky about this. if you have a whole drum break (rather than just single hits) that u want to put in a pattern, it's hard to do that, because the bpm that is designated for the break never matches when u set the same bpm for the pattern. maybe there's some way to fix that but I haven't figured it out yet
that thing u said is lame about the sp 303 that u can't chain patterns together. Can u really not do that? that seems really weird. So the original purpose of this was never to be the main thing? i mean u always had to have something else to send these samples to finish the track on. I thought Madlib or Dilla or someone made whole beats on this? I wonder how they did that. oh I guess u could make 1 big pattern. as long as the whole song. Can u resample a pattern to a regular sample pad? I'm gonna find out right now
