I love my sx, I have gear that can do 10 times more than the sx…yet the sx is the most used piece of gear in my studio. It’s in the signal chain no matter what I use.
Check out the sp forum, a lot of great info & good people (www.sp-forums.com). & if you want to learn your sp inside & out, join the battles. I’ve had my sx for 3 years, entered my first sp battle like 3 - 4 months ago & my sp skills have drastically increased.
Explore the effects! You can only apply 1 effect at a time, but it is worth it to resample over & over with effects. It really can be used as a sound design unit.
Also amazing beats can be made with the sequencer (tip: turn gate & loop off the last sample in a sequence for smooth transition from sequence to sequence). I like combining resample mode WITH the sequencer (make loops in resample mode, put them in the sequencer, add 1 shots, ect).
Any questions hit me up. The sx isn’t for everyone, but even if you don’t like making beats on it, it has several other uses.
