Boss SP303 Dr. Sample Phrase Sampler

Product Description

The SP-303 makes recording, looping, and sequencing samples straight-forward and intuitive, while SmartMedia can be used to expand sampling time and import .WAV/AIFF files. For sampling and effects processing any time, any place, the SP-303 can't be beat.

Professional-Quality Phrase Sampling
While the SP-303 is easily the most affordable phrase sampler on the market, its professional sound and specs are on par with far more expensive models. Up to 8 mono samples may be triggered at once - even when sampling using the "Standard" 44.1kHz recording mode. Two additional modes are provided for additional sampling time or to create "Lo-Fi" effects.

New Pattern Sequence
An onboard pattern sequencer makes creating songs from loops and phrases easy. Just select the length (up to 99 measures) and play along to the internal metronome. A quantize function corrects your timing, making it possible to create drum patterns by sampling individual sounds to the pads. And the SP-303's sequencer can store up to 7,500 notes.

Resampling and More
Once you've found the perfect effect, you can resample the sound to a new pad. This makes it possible to get even more out of the SP-303's effects section. And adjusting effect parameters such as filter cutoff, delay time, or modulation depth, for example, is as simple as twisting a knob.

Smart-Media Compatable
The SP-303 is the only low-cost phrase sampler that can use SmartMedia cards for expanding internal sampling time (up to 200 minutes*) in addition to backing up data. You can even store .WAV and AIFF files from your PC to SmartMedia cards and load them into the SP-303 using a new import function.

26 Killer Effects
Not just a sampler, but a full-blown effects processor, the SP-303 includes 26 professional effects like reverb, flanger, delay, and Voice Transformer - plus wicked distortion, filter, Slicer, Isolator, Lo-Fi, and Vinyl Simulator algorithms for twisting your sound to the extreme. Best of all, these effects can be applied to multiple samples simultaneously or to live input signals.
