Main Features
The SP-505 is a groove sampling workstation that provides all the functionality you need to produce dance music.
Chop function
The “Chop” function detects the attacks within a sampled
phrase, and divides the sample into separate sound events.
The samples that are generated in this way are automatically
assigned to pads.
Pitch function
By using the “Pitch” function you can play pitches using a
sample.
BPM Sync function
The “BPM Sync” function allows the BPM of up to 16 phrases
to be synchronized at a single touch.
Waveform display
You can edit the start/end points or truncate the sample
while viewing its waveform in the display. You can also
zoom-in on the waveform for even more detailed editing.
Maximum polyphony: 8 notes
Up to eight samples (mono) of a 44.1 kHz sampling
frequency can be played simultaneously.
Extended sampling using SmartMedia
The internal memory of the SP-505 allows a maximum of
approximately 17 minutes of sampling.
In addition, separately available memory cards (SmartMedia;
8–128 MB) can be used for extended sampling.
For example, by using 64 MB SmartMedia, you can sample
up to 32 minutes in standard mode, or approximately 197
minutes in low-fi mode.
* 1MB/2MB/4MB SmartMedia cannot be used.
* SmartMedia is a trademark of Toshiba Corp.
Support for WAV/AIFF files
WAV/AIFF files from your computer can be loaded via
SmartMedia into the SP-505.
Re-sampling
You can play back samples while applying internal effects
and re-sample the result to create new samples without any
loss of audio quality.
Preset sounds
Comes loaded with 64 preset samples (including drum and
bass), and 40 preset patterns.
Pattern Select function
Preset or user patterns can be recalled directly using the 16
key pads.
Pattern sequencer
The SP-505 has a built-in pattern sequencer, which lets you
combine patterns of several measures to create a “song.”
26 different effects
The SP-505 provides a selection of 26 different effects,
ranging from Vinyl Simulator, which simulates the
characteristics of an analog record, to Isolator and Reverb.
Effects can be controlled in real time using three knobs.
Digital In
Two Digital In connectors (optical/coaxial) are provided,
allowing digital audio signals from a CD or computer to be
sampled.
