Using SD Cards with the Rossum SP1200 

Please help 😢. How do I convert my Splice Drums samples into .SP12 files? I can’t find how to convert these files anywhere

@@terrorbytez6537 Sorry, but the short answer is 'You cant'. 🙏🏻

Thank you Tone you are the best man!@@tonelabqt

You're welcome 🙏🏻 PS. If you found that useful, you may like the full tutorial too 👍🏼 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fJllMiVqL3U.html

Old habits are hard to break, huh?? 🤓 first thing I did was hit 'Disk Module' then #2 'Save Sounds', unconsciously.. and the Rossum asked me to select a file 🤔😆🙏🏻

🙏🏻🤓

Thanks very much 🙏🏻 ..if you have a computer, it is a lot easier to manage Files and Folders. As a rule, I always keep Files and Folder names 'short'.. and without using any 'spaces' or 'characters' that the SP may not be capable of displaying 👍🏼

@@tonelabqt Thank you so much! Ever changed file names on the computer? And then tried to load the renamed files? Scared to try. LOL.

@@asiwas Yep, I renamed all the Kits on my store, prior to listing them.. didn't have any issues 👍🏼

Thanks very much, Tempo=Yes.. Tuning/Mix Positions=No. The Tune/Mix settings.. can't be Saved, as such.. but.. the 'old fashioned' way of 'taking a photo of the LCD level positions' can be used if 'it has to happen'. In terms of 'Tempo', I was just thinking about doing another Quick-Tip on this.. if you create a Song, at least 1 Segment needs to be added, then you can nominate a Tempo for that Song. Segments 'adopt' whatever Tempo is used in the currently selected Song .. so, you can use that as a method to store your Tempo👍🏼

@@tonelabqt Thank you very much for the song mode tip :) I used to write the tempo with the file's name.

@@chhu6778 No problem 👍🏼 ..Ps. a new, comprehensive, tutorial for the Rossum SP1200 (most of which also works on the Emu) will be coming in about a weeks time.. over on the parent channel @tonelab 🙏🏻

I do my tuning/pitching in special menu 23 then option 13 I believe. I “save all as” after I add a sequence to song mode. My tunings/pitches are always the same when I “load all sequences and sounds”

Certainly is! 👍🏼 ..not the same story for Mac & Windows PCs though 🙏🏻

@@tonelabqt right...I should've stated that I'm using a Mac. Great content👍👍

@@illegist Thanks! 🙏🏻

Thanks very much 🙏🏻 ..the simplest explanation for Saving 'individual' Samples - although, probably not the most efficient way of working, is 'Save ALL as..' via #9, on the Disk Module.. but.. just don't have any Sequences or 'other' Samples in the SP's memory.. because.. Option #9 (Save ALL as..) will do just that.. Save ALL, however.. if there's 'nothing else' in memory.. except 1 of your Samples.. effectively you're Saving just that 1 Sample 👍🏼

Sorry, think my question was unclear; I'm fine making/saving projects for use as Drum kits, or single samples I envisage I'll use repeatedly. It was more, after I've done that; Can you explain how I load in those individual sounds from two or more different projects, into a single new project? I can follow what is going on here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jmKgvke5fW8.html I just can't quite wrap my head around how to do the equivalent of swapping floppies, on the Rossum version. [Without relying on the the dreaded MIDI export/import of course. :-)]

@cj1000xyu ahh right, navigate to the '.sp12' or '.hfe' image file containing Sounds.. run Option #6, via the Disk Module. and select a Pad. Now, this might take a little bit of pre-planning.. because the Pads you're presented with, via Option #6.. are 'not' a case of "Which Pad would you like to Load the Sound into' ..but more a case of 'these were the Sounds, at these Pads, when the Sounds were Saved'.. so, it's a bit reversed.. you'd want to know 'what' those Sounds on those Pads 'are' ..intimately, before 'Loading' them in, willy-nilly.. because Loading them will replace any Sound you may already have residing in your Pads. You might need to Copy Sounds to other Pads to make 'room' for the incoming Sounds 👍🏼

@@tonelabqt, ah perfect, thank you! I hadn't realised you could browse to other projects *without loading the whole project* and load individual sounds that way. Just tested what you described and it works perfectly. A lot better than the horrendous "two separate physical SDs with files renamed to be identical and then named back afterwards" workaround that I had come up with. 😅

The Metronome comes out the main output.. provided the Metronome level pot is turned up.. or you can use the dedicated MET output, via the rear, to have an isolated Metronome channel into your mixer / audio interface 👍🏼

Try this tutorial .. it’s got everything 🙏🏼ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fJllMiVqL3U.html

You can go quite large any of these would be fine 👍🏼amzn.to/3D0Pm5w

@@tonelabqt Thank you! Great tutorials

Nnnnnn.. well, technically.. with the right Windows OS, and some old software, you could 'rip' the samples from 'SP1200 disk images' as WAVs. Then, you could load those WAVs into an MPC. So, it is possible.. if you have the right stuff👍🏼

@@tonelabqt ok, thank you. So it’s not possible to insert the disk into the MPC x se directly, that would be a dream. Workflow is great on the MPC x se,

No, but.. I created an XPM (MPC Program) for the SP1200. Each MPC Bank & Pad number.. relates to the 'same' Bank & Pad number on the SP1200. MIDI cable 'Out' of the MPC.. into your SP1200. Select a MIDI Track, on your MPC.. assign MIDI Channel 1 and away you go! 👌🏼 Download it here FREE 🙏🏻 www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/2yox49of1hotm8bzydsz9/SP1200-TL-MIDI.xpm?rlkey=hzl7ulwpj1ac1xyre1c1ki3qa&st=xmir55mi&dl=0

'Yes', I demonstrate this 5 minutes in 👍🏼

Q1. If you have 1 sound in the SP memory, you can save that on it's own. Q2. Use the Disk Module option #0 - watch this clip for more ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fJllMiVqL3U.htmlsi=Z23fcnHdolB4z7Av&t=1645 🙏🏻

I’ll try and remember to always hit 0 and create a folder/ file when I start each session.thanks

👍🏼

Well, SD cards are generally pre-formatted.. but, you can format an SD card in a Mac or PC. PS. If you haven't seen this, this clip should help with many other things 👍🏼ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fJllMiVqL3U.html&t

No.. but, If you hold down the SP1200 Disk Module button, on power up.. the MIDIdisk utility comes up.. that can receive SP12 Sequence & Sound data via the SP12 Cassette interface.. into the SMPTE input on the rear of the SP1200 👍🏼

@@tonelabqtthanks tot reply . the original SP1200 or Rossum can do that?

@@jazzroom Sorry, 'yes'.. the Emu does that 👍🏼

@@tonelabqt that is a very interesting option..I havent explored yet! Thanks for the tip . Will try to fire up my SP12 Turbo and SP1200 and see if SP1200 will receive files via MidiDisk mode from SP12. Maybe SP1200 can send own files to computer via the same mode. Will report later. Peace & Jazz🎷🍻

Not sure who you mean by 'they'.. But, I have a Store coming online shortly, that will.. you after Rossum or Emu ? 🙏🏻

@@tonelabqt That sounds awesome. Rossum over here.

@@tonelabqt whats the stores web address? thanks

@@tonelabqt I just purchased your 808 pack for the Rossum. How do I bring my own folders/sounds into the Rossum. I tried it and it didn't read the files like it did on yours

Up to 2TB - 256GB SD cards have the good value for money at the moment, I'm sure that'll change though amzn.to/3BTmv3j 👍🏼

If they're HFE's from an SP1200, yep.

@@tonelabqt thanks for the prompt response! I was trying to load HFE files from a MPC 60 wondering why I can see it on screen but not load. Thanks again.

Cheers 🙏🏻
