Brother this was the best tutorial I’ve seen for any of the SP devices. You’re a great teacher and I really appreciate the quality of this lesson. Cheers!
Thank you so much for uploading this! Just got one of these a couple of weeks ago, and you have already taught me everything on it. Also got the Koala haha
When you want to get the levels right when recording a sample, hit record once and audition the level when REC is flashing. You can adjust the levels. Then hit REC again to record your sample
Why wouldn't you just hit source and hear the incoming audio and the audio from your sp at the same time? That would be way better than only being able to hear the incoming audio?
Ya. Thanks for this. Got a 303 yesterday and sat down with it today and your direction was good to get this deal rolling. I like this machine quite a bit. Like a super dumbed down 404. I like it a bunch. Good post man.
sorry to ask this but your obviously very knowledgeable about the device...i just bought a SP303 and i believe it may have a bad peak indicator light. sending clipping signals through via ext source does not trigger the light, cables are good. even confirmed the signals are way hot with an SP404 peak indicator, and ableton as well, still no lights on the 303. any ideas?
Thank you for this! Dug my 303 out after a half year of it in storage and this video taught me so much. So many weird little secrets with this device. It can get frustrating trying to accomplish a specific thing for an hour only to find out there is some crazy pad combo you have to hit that will do it for you. Cheers!
This came out just when I left the shop floor demoing for a London chain of shops, & the 202 was the store fave prior. (Well, Logic was the biggest product, really!) Crazy that SD was developed in '99 but took over 5 years to be adopted, eh? 😉 I reckon it was a clever ploy to elongate the life of a line that was already popular! Already owning the W-30 sampler workstation from a decade before, but wanting squidgy pads & a ribbon controller for filtering live input, I bought the cheapo Yamaha SU10. Doesn't even compare to any Boss/Roland sampler! No fx, no real sequencer, just records what you played unquantised so was best if you had a perfect loop playing as a basis. Got a crazy good price for it about 8 years ago which still remains today. Thanks RUclips, and procreation! 😂
😂 brilliant. It’s crazy how much some of these older devices fetch now. That said they are fun toys to own! I didn’t know that’s when the SD was developed. 👍
I have a complicated setup as I run multiple devices all through the SP but you could just use a usb c to 3.5mm adapter and then a 3.5 to RCA cable as the quickest cheapest option. I use a hub as I can charge the iPad at the same time plus use my SD card etc. It’s a Kingston Nucleum that then runs into a six way splitter hub for RCA that goes into the SP. The splitter lets me send my turntable, Ableton, MPC all through the SP at the same time. The splitter is cheap £20 from Amazon. 👍
It does make me laugh that people these days moan about waiting 10 secs for the A/B to do stuff. Y'all got ADHD. One of the reasons music on new equipment/pooters sucks these days is coz you don't have to wait for anything and have endless memory. When everything was floppy disks you had time to reflect while they loaded and memory was so low you had to *think* about what you were doing.
@@spritegrape9963 Wrong - I'm an x-er. Altho you probs don't know what boomer actually means, so whatever. Read what I wrote again - there was no impatient because you contemplated and reflected on what you were doing and what your next step was. Made a cup of tea. Rolled a joint. And that was when things took minutes to complete - getting impatient over 10 seconds is beyond retarded.
Just bought one three days ago and you've helped me out lot been watching and following along with you for the last three days thanks
Jeez bro, this is a thorough video! Good work!

The equipment limitations is what made hip hop what it is today. Embrace it and thanks for the video.
thank u for the detailed explanation of auto sampling!

Great video - and you have a real talent as a teacher. Clear, concise. Thanks
Thank you 👍
This is magnificent. Thanks!

Great tutorial video✨👍🏻
I can conect the sp to my computer with an audio interface?
Yes via rca cable
Thank you!
Thanks for making this vid! How are you connecting the ipad to the SP?

I’m pretty sure people might have gotten impatient in the olden days as well, boomer

@@spritegrape9963 Boomers are aged 60 to 80. Ain't no one that old using samplers, genius.
