Is the Sp-303 good for dub?

Post by John Ellison IV » Mon May 10, 2004 12:40 am

Hey, <BR> <BR>I'm working on this remix that's more dub "influenced" than actual dub. I tried usingAcid Music 3.0 but...it just isn't coming out right. Anyway, I saw a demo of the Sp-303 sampler and it sounded like what I needed. But I don't know if it's all that it says it is or what. <BR> <BR>I'd like some help on this...

It's a phrase sampler with some effects, some built in sequencer and trigger pads... bassicly designed for DJs. That's about it. <BR>What you can use it and how for producing remixes of any kind... just as what it is. Load it with samples/phrases/loops or sounds and trigger them or sequence, apply some effects what ever it has &#40;not much, but bmp friendly I guess....&#41;. <BR> <BR>/respects, <BR>/Mike Zee aka Dr ZEE

Hi! <BR>This sampler doesn`nt have multi-outs, so you have to apply fx before you sample, use the internal fx &#40;average sounding&#41; or effect the stereo output, its doable, but i don`t think its ideal. <BR>cheers

JEiv- I presume you have a half-way decent computer if you are using Acid 3.0. I would suggest using the money you'd spend on a Sp303 on some software &#40;e.g a different sequencer or a soft-sampler&#41; of which there is quite a lot and that has all the capabilities of the sp303 and a lot more besides. <BR>The sp303 does give you trigger pads and some knobs to twiddle, but you can real time control most software with the mouse or a hardware controller. <BR>The sp303 does, though, have a very good delay and the several other effects are good, with the exception of the reverb which is rather poor. On the bad side it takes a long time to edit and save/load samples and you can only use one effect at a time. <BR>But if you want to play live with it, or don't want to go the computer route, good results can be had from it &#40;I don't know of a direct hardware alternative in the price range&#41;. All round I'd give it about 7/10. In my opinion. <BR>I used to own one.

the korg electribe es-1 is good for triggering samples on the go. <BR>you can add the effects to the sample and then resample with the effects in place.
