Connecting the SP-555 to your computer
The SP-555 provides USB audio/MIDI interface
functionality.
If you install a dedicated driver in your computer and use a
USB cable (sold separately) to connect the SP-555 to your
computer, you'll be able to output sound from your computer
via the SP-555. By using the included SONAR LE software,
you can use your computer to record sound from a guitar or
mic connected to the SP-555.
You can also use SP-555 Wave Converter to convert WAV/
AIFF format files that you created on your computer into SP-
555 samples, or to convert SP-555 samples to WAV/AIFF
format files.
You must install the driver before you connect the SP-555 to
your computer.
