The Roland SP-555 Creative Sampler Workstation is
the newest member of the SP pattern sequencer family. The SP-555 breaks
new ground with innovative features such as Loop Capture and Super
Filter. The Roland SP-555 is fast and powerful, but one thing has been
preserved from previous SP workstation models: fun!
Quick, Easy, Versatile Sampling
You can capture sounds instantly onstage using the SP-555's Line or Mic
Inputs, or through USB audio streaming-perfect for DJs or live
performers who want to grab sounds and drop them in the mix on the fly.
The SP-555 supports up to 2GB CompactFlash for over 12 hours of
recording with no-load playback!
Live Loop Capture
This innovative new feature lets you quickly grab a piece of incoming
audio or a loop of your live performance and instantly play it back in
perfect time with your other tracks. The loops can also be captured
through the effects in real time and assigned to a pad for later use.
You can even perform sound-on-sound layering with your loops.
Killer Performance FX
From silky gloss to complete audio annihilation, the SP-555 provides 37
types of powerful DSP effects to alter your sounds. Included in the
lineup are Voice Transformer, Delay, Isolator, and the unique Super
Filter and DJFX Looper, The Effect Memory allows for instant recall of
your favorite settings using the pads with no glitching while switching
effects.
Visual Magic
Amaze your audience with the SP-555's D BEAM and V-LINK features. Wave
your hands over the invisible D BEAM to tweak the SP-555's filter, to
trigger samples, or to play synth solos. Connect V-LINK compatible video
equipment and sync the music to the visuals.
Computer Companion
The SP-555 can be used by itself or with a PC. It can be used as an
audio interface for the bundled Cakewalk SONAR LE software or any other
DAW or DJ application on your computer. With the bundled Wave Converter
software, WAV and AIFF files can be imported and assigned to a CF card
for use in the SP-555 (CF reader needed).
