Chapter 2. Using the Effects
The SP-303 features twenty-six internal effects, so you can
add effects to samples to alter the sounds, just with this one
unit.
● Of the twenty-six effects, you can select five of them–
Filter + Overdrive, Pitch Shifter, Delay, Vinyl Simulator,
and Isolator–by directly pressing their buttons. The other
twenty-one effects are grouped together in MFX (the
multi-effects). By holding down [MFX] and turning the
CTRL 3/MFX knob, you can select which of these
twenty-one effects that is to be used.
● You can have any one effect turned on at a given time.
Multiple effects cannot be on simultaneously. If you do
want to use multiple effects on a sample, or if you need
to have a different effect applied to each individual
effect, then use “resampling.” Resampling allows you to
use a sample that has effects added to it as a new sample.
For more detailed information, refer to “Making Samples
with Effects Added (Resampling)” (p. 32).

Adding Effects to Samples

fig.r02-01a
1. Confirm that none of the effect buttons is lit.
If any of these buttons is lit, press it so that the light goes
off.
2. Press the pad which contains the sample to which you
wish to apply effects.
The pad will light, and the sample will sound. This pad
becomes the current pad.
3. Press one of the effects buttons.
The pressed button will light.
An effect is on when the button is lit, and off when it is
dark.
* With certain effects, there may be a slight delay after the effect
is turned on before the effect is applied.
4. Turn the CTRL 1–3/MFX knobs to adjust the
application of the effect.
The settings adjusted by turning the CTRL 1–3/MFX
knobs change according to the selected effect. For more
detailed information, refer to “Effects List” (p. 24).
