Hi George, I own a SP303 which has the same "core" as the 505 (not realtime pitch shift and no tempo sync on the 303). Here is some info from the 303 that surely also apply on the 505: If you want to realtime loop you can press the pad you are recording on at the end of the loop, this will retrigger (play) the pad directly. However this works only if you are recording in the internal memory (not on the sm card). Doing the same operation on the card introduces a small blank when the sound is stored/compressed. So you are limited to about 30 sec (on the 303). You can copy the sound to the card after if you want but this takes some time and the sound output is dropped. "Sound on sound" is possible with the resample function. This function is used to merge several pads (+added effects) to a new one. One of the pad gates the input, so pad1+input pad>pad2 will merge the content of pad1 with what is currently played. The bad thing is that pressing the resample button stops the playing of the unit, no realtime overdub in this case. The good thing is that you can multiply the pad1 content for as long as you need it, add other pads, add effects, modify parameters,... So his acts more or less like a multitrack (stop/rewind/arm) with the exception that you can't play a pad and record another one at the same time (only resample as explained before). Hope this helps, Ben. _____________________________________________________________________ Un mot doux à envoyer? Une sortie ciné à organiser? Faites le en temps réel avec MSN Messenger!
