Main Features
Use memory cards for easy expansion (p. 67)
A memory card slot is provided on the front panel. By inserting a commercially available 512 MB CompactFlash
card, you can perform up to 386 minutes of sampling (LONG mode, mono). There’s no need to load the data into
internal memory—data on the card can be accessed directly, even for playing from the pads. Even extremely large
samples can be handled quickly and freely.
USB connection to your computer (p. 83)
The SP-606 provides not only USB-MIDI functionality, but also file transfer capability for importing and exporting
.WAV and AIFF files. Audio drivers for WDM and ASIO are included, letting the SP-606 function as a versatile
USB audio interface (on Windows or Macintosh) with a variety of inputs and outputs.
Dedicated “P606” software for unlimited creation of loops (p. 86)
The dedicated P606 software application developed by Cakewalk Corporation is included. P606
consists of three different sound generator modules, sophisticated multi-effects, and a sixteen-part
pattern sequencer and mixer—in other words, it’s a virtual groovebox!
Phrases you create using P606 can be captured into the USB-connected SP-606 easily and quickly via
EXT SEQ SAMPLING
. The SP-606 automatically obtains the BPM (tempo), time signature, and
number of measures of the phrase, and makes the appropriate loop settings, meaning that you won’t
have to perform any bothersome processes after sampling.
Of course the SP-606 also functions as a control surface for P606.
