Appendix
Could there be insufficient memory?
If there is insufficient memory, the display will indicate “FUL”
(Memory Full) when you attempt to sample. Delete unneeded
samples to increase the amount of free memory. (p. 23)
Is the CompactFlash card inserted correctly?
If you’re sampling to sample banks C–J, make sure that the
CompactFlash card is inserted correctly. (p. 45)
Is the CompactFlash card formatted correctly?
Format the CompactFlash card using the SP-555. (p. 45)
Are samples assigned to all pads?
You can’t sample if there are no vacant pads. Delete
unwanted samples to free up some pads. (p. 23)
Could [PATTERN SELECT] be lit?
If [PATTERN SELECT] is lit, you’re recording patterns, and
will not be able to sample.
Press [PATTERN SELECT] so its light is turned off.
Could [DEL] be lit or blinking?
If [DEL] is lit or blinking, you are deleting samples, and will
not be able to sample.
Is the input level appropriate?
The sampled sound will be distorted if the input level is too
high, and if the level is too low there will be excessive noise.
Adjust the level so that the PEAK indicator lights
occasionally.
Are the effect settings appropriate?
Some types of effect will make the level higher than the
original sample, or may distort the sound itself. Some effects
also emphasize the noise. Try turning the effect off, and
check whether the noise or distortion is present in the original
sample itself. Then adjust the effect settings appropriately.
Could you be playing more than one sample
simultaneously?
Even if the level of each sample is appropriate, playing
multiple samples simultaneously will raise the overall level
excessively, possibly causing distortion. Lower the level of
each sample to avoid distortion.
Did you save at an appropriate level?
When you overdub repeatedly, the phrase level may
increase, causing distortion when you save it to a pad.
Adjust the level when saving the sound to a pad. (p. 27)
Is the CompactFlash card inserted correctly?
Check the CompactFlash card. (p. 45)
Is the CompactFlash card an appropriate type?
You can use CompactFlash cards with a capacity between
32 MB and 2 GB. Other cards cannot be used. (p. 44)
Is the CompactFlash card formatted correctly?
CompactFlash cards formatted by a device other than the SP-
555 cannot be used. Please format the CompactFlash card.
(p. 45)
It is possible that the power was turned off while data
was being written into internal memory (i.e., while the
dot was blinking in the display). The lost data cannot
be recovered.
In this case, it is possible that all data in internal memory has
been destroyed. Additional malfunctions may occur if you
attempt to continue using the SP-555. Please initialize the
internal memory. (p. 50).
* When you initialize the memory, all data in internal memory
will be lost.
