An Overview of the SP-606

 

The SP-606 uses four types of data: “

 

” and “

 

,” which contain sounds; and “

 

” and 

“

 

,” which contain performance data. In addition the SP-606 operates in one of two modes: “

 

” 

in which you use the SP-606’s pads and knobs to control the SP-606 itself; and “

 

,” in which the pads 

and knobs control the included P606 application running on your computer.

 

A sample is the most basic unit of audio material, consisting of a waveform (wave) that was created by sampling a 
performance, instrumental sound, or voice, together with settings that specify how this waveform will be played 
back. You can play the samples that are assigned to the pads, or play them from the internal sequencer or an 
external sequencer.
There are two types of samples, which differ in the way that they are played back: phrase samples and single 
samples.

 

In general, samples created by sampling a performance are called Phrase samples.
To use a sample as a phrase sample on the SP-606, set the sample’s “Play Type” (p. 50) parameter to 

 

. 

This causes the sample BPM (tempo) to automatically match the playback BPM or sequencer BPM.
This setting is appropriate for phrases that are one or several measures long.

The sample BPM can be varied within the range from 0.5 through 1.3. If the sequencer BPM would 
cause the sample BPM to exceed this allowable range, the sample BPM will be doubled or halved so 
that it stays within this range.

 

On the SP-606, short samples (such as individual notes) are called Single samples. To use a sample as a single 
sample, set its “Play Type” (p. 50) parameter to 

 

. This causes the sample to always play at its original 

length.
This setting is suitable for sounds that you use as single notes, such as drum hits or sound effects.
