hi folks,
so I got the Boss Dr. Sample SP-303 plugged the Rytm into it, and I knew immediately what I had been missing since the MD left.
.,
.
now, which FX unit might be (substantially) better than the BOSS ? … I actually do not care that much about sampling
btw have OT AR A4 M32 SH101
If roland doesn’t come with it soon (a new sampler), im going to look heavy into one of these (and the 404)
What are you using it for?
If you’re looking for multifx, it might be worthwhile checking out the zoom cdr70.
ahh,… thanks for that… I must say the sound and quality of the 303 is phenomenal imho …
unfortunately got the mother32 and the boss303 at the same time… only 1 toy at a time right ?
i only wanted to use the Vinyl FX, becaues I heard Wissam jam, and he used it a lot, fell in love…so I figured I get the same, and become as awesome as Wissam (user here in the forum)
.
just routed the AR through the unit, and BAAANG , instant more love for the AR !!! …
.
.
i gotta spend more time I suppose, was just wondering if anybody said: if you like the sp303 you will love product XXX … not happened yet, so I guess i have a proper toy on my hand…
.

also I liked the sherman fb2, but was too confusing for me while I had it, and everything became gabber and trash after 3 minutes 
Those, plus my AR and some pedals, is what I’m thinking for my compact live setup. Throw pads/atmospheres/samples/loops into the 303. What do people think about using it that way?
On that note, by recommendation from people in this thread I got a Korg Electribe ER-1 (Mark 1 version) recently, and I just love it.
This afternoon I played my Serge modular system though the audio inputs (stereo, mind you) of the ER-1 and processed the audio through the step sequencer and applied some ‘tempo delay’. Gosh, that was fun. I’m really glad I gave it a try.[/quote]
yeah, korgEA1 great little piece of silky satisfying play box. had it once
SP303 Vs. Model Sample by Elektron. In term of sampling old records and play with the samples ? Thanks
MPC One? 
I’m not sure if the Model:Samples can sample directly at all actually. In that case, if it’s between the two, an SP would be my choice (for live sampling and chopping). That said though, Roland’s SP series devices are super awkward when it comes to chopping / trimming samples.
The MPC One would be superior for this use case, though maybe not as fun as the other two due to the touchscreen workflow
Model:Samples doesn’t sample 
(Not directly)
Yeah you are right, Model Sample doesn’t have any Input, so bad thing that we have to transfer the samples from computer…
But I mean after the transfer, Model Sample looks to have lots of twickable knobs, lfo’s, nice effect, and the nice midi syncing…
2 hand price SP303 = new price of the model sample…
What do you think ?
They’re very different instruments:
Sp-303 is a lot about sampling and resampling with its characteristic effects, smashing pads (not velocity sensitive) and that kind of “unquantized” groove.
It has a sequencer too but it’s a joke compared to an Elektron one.
It can sample directly via its inputs (in stereo too) but its memory is stored into obsolete smartmedia cards.
M:S is a sample based 6 track groovebox with a great sequencer and (almost?) one knob per function.
You can load samples (only mono, not stereo) via usb.
It can be battery powered so it’s much more portable.
Which is better for you it depends from your user case.
I had and loved it. Yes, it’s bulky.
I still want an ex though bc the effects can be used without the sampler function
you can also do a pretty nice ‘vinyl sim’ with LFO and freq shift effect on the current MPCs
If I recall correctly, the original can be updated with the ex software.
Still waiting for someone to hack the OS to add a HD without having to use the A6 software - I’d be all over it!
Hello !
I have bought a nice SP303, I am already in love with it, recording my vinyles and play with the effects !!
Maybe later, I will also buy a model Sample ! to play along the sp303.
Thanks a lot for yours feedbacks !
