An Overview of the SP-606

How the Various Sections Are Connected

fig.0G-1

Sampler

This records (samples) sounds, such as musical performances or vocals, and plays back these sounds.

Effects

This section applies various effects to the sampled sounds (samples). You can choose from forty-five different types of effect, such as “reverb” which adds reverberation, and “lo-fi processor” which intentionally degrades the audio quality of the sound.

Pads

You can strike these pads to play the samples. You can also vary the loudness of the sound by the strength with which you strike a pad.

Sequencer

This section lets you record the timing at which you want samples to play, and specify how the samples will be played. You can then play back this data to create automatic performances.
