Main Features
High-Capacity Memory Cards (SmartMedia)
for Extended Sampling Times
The SP-303 itself provides up to three minutes and twelve
seconds of sampling.
In addition, by using optional memory cards (SmartMedia: 8
MB–64 MB) you can sample for much longer lengths of time.
For example, using a 64 MB SmartMedia card in Standard
mode gives you 33 minutes of samples, and in Lo-Fi mode,
you can get up to 200 minutes.
* 1 MB, 2 MB, and 4 MB SmartMedia cards cannot be used.
* SmartMedia is a trademark of Toshiba Corporation.
26 Internal Effects Perfect for Groove Music
The SP-303 features twenty-six internal effects that are
indispensable for creating and performing Groove music,
including a Vinyl Simulator that mimics the sonic qualities of
analog records, filter effects that are essential in Techno
music, an Isolator effect–a must for remixing–a powerful
voice transformer for vocal effects, and more.
You can also use these effects on sounds input from external
sources as well.
Eight-Voice Polyphony
Using mono samples, you can have up to eight voices
playing simultaneously. What’s more, you can use effects
and memory cards with no reduction in polyphony, so you
get plenty of room to work with, even in performances using
layered samples with effects added.
Resampling? No Problem
Resampling the playback of sampled sounds with internal
effects added lets you create even more new sounds. And
since the process is entirely digital, there is no degradation in
sound quality. This makes it convenient to create different
variations from sounds that have already been sampled.
Automated Playback of Sampled Sounds
(Pattern Sequencer)
You can run a playback of some sampled sounds, and then
play back the sequence of sounds as a single pattern.
This lets you easily create combinations of rhythms and
samples, and combine different phrases to create a single
song.
