Roland SP-555 ユーザーズマニュアル

 

You can import audio files via CompactFlash card and 
assign them to pads.

 

If it is lit, press [PATTERN SELECT] to turn it off.

 

The display will indicate “FiL” (File Import/Export), and 
[SAMPLING] and [RESAMPLE] will blink.

 

The display will indicate “iMP” (File Import), 
[SAMPLING] will light, and [RESAMPLE] will go out.
Pads [1]–[16] will blink.

 

If there is no audio file in the CompactFlash card, the display 
will indicate “EMP” (Empty), and the Import operation cannot 
be performed.

 

Press one of the BANK [A]–[F/J] buttons. The button you 
pressed will light, and that bank (A–F) will be selected. 
If you press BANK [C/G]–[F/J] once again, that button 
will change from lit to blinking, and the corresponding 
bank G–J will be selected.

 

The pad you pressed will light, and the other pads will 
stop blinking.
[SAMPLING] will also blink. If a sample is assigned to 
the selected pad (or subsequent pads if you selected 
more than one pad), it will be overwritten.
If you specify a pad that is protected (p. 51), the display 
will indicate “Prt” (Protected), and you won’t be able to 
import the file.

 

If there are two or more files, they will be imported in 
order of their file name, starting at the pad you selected 
in step 5.
During the import process, the dot in the display will 
blink. When the blinking dot has disappeared, the 
import process has been completed.

• Use a CompactFlash card that was formatted by 

the SP-555.

• When you use your computer or other device to 

copy or save audio files (WAV/AIFF) on a 
CompactFlash card, place the files in the root 
directory (top level) of the CompactFlash card. 
You won’’t be able to import the files into the SP-
555 if they’re anywhere other than the root 
directory.

• A maximum of 160 audio files can be handled 

when importing. If more than this number of 
audio files are on the CompactFlash card, 
unexpected operation may occur.

• You can’t use the “.” (period) character at the 

beginning of a file name. Nor can certain other 
characters (\ / : , : * ? “ < > |) be used in a file 
name.

• The extension of a WAV file must be WAV, and 

the extension of an AIFF file must be AIF. The file 
will not be recognized if its name has any other 
extension.

• The audio files will be imported in the ASCII code 

order of their file names.

• 8-bit and 16-bit are the only sample depths 

supported.

• Sample rate conversion will not be performed. 

The data will be imported as if it had a sample 
rate of 44.1 kHz. If you import a file whose 
actual sample rate is other than 44.1 kHz, the 
playback pitch will be incorrect.

• Loop point settings in an AIFF file will be ignored.
• If you attempt to import a WAV/AIFF file whose 

format is not supported by the SP-555, the error 
message “UnS” (Unsupported) will appear, and 
you won’t be able to import the file.

• Compressed audio files cannot be imported.
• In some cases, it may not be possible to import 

audio files of an extremely short duration.

• Importing will take approximately half as long as 

the playback time of the audio file.

• Once you start the import process, you cannot 

cancel it before completion.
