SP-202 Phrase SamplerUnlike other low-cost sampling units on the market today, the SP-202 provides truly professional sampling quality and storage options. It features four user-selectable sampling grades including a high-quality 31.25k mode, and a maximum of 4 min. 20 sec. internal sampling time*. With each 4MB card, SP-202 users can store up to 35 minutes* of samples -- quite an arsenal of beats and phrases!
The SP-202's eight onboard pads -- each with a user-selectable sampling grade -- light red when in use, instantly confirming which tracks/samples are ON. Designed with simplicity at heart, the -202 also features a bright red LED display and dedicated buttons and knobs for controlling everything from sample Start and Stop points and built-in Effects to beats per minute (BPM). All DJ's and hip-hop musicians need to do to lift that funky bass line is set input level and hit the Record button.
Once a sample has been recorded and looped, its tempo can be set using the Control knob. And the BPM indicator can actually calculate beats-per-minute from the sample length. Or DJ's can input BPM before sampling via the Tap tempo button, letting the SP-202 adjust the sampling Stop point automatically, taking all the headache out of syncing loops.
Built-in effects like Pitch Adjust, Filters 1 & 2, Time Stretch, Delay and Ring Modulation add to the power of this amazing unit. The Pitch control lets users transpose samples into any key desired, while a sophisticated Time Stretch function makes it possible to extend or compress the length of a phrase without changing its pitch. Delay and Ring Modulation effects are of the same world- renowned quality of other Roland and BOSS products, with Ring Modulation available to the SP-202's built-in mic input for voice processing.
Filters 1 & 2 can take you from mild to drastic filtering as found in today's electronic dance music scene. And both Ring Modulation and Filters 1 & 2 can be assigned to the external inputs, giving SP-202 users some very cool sonic options. MIDI Inputs even allow sample triggering via an external sequencer or MIDI controller. These functions, coupled with battery operation and a very DJ-friendly design, add up to the most full-featured affordable sampler on the market.
External sample storage is provided via affordable 5 volt 2MB or 4MB SmartMediaTM
