This inventory includes all parts, components, manuals (hard copy or downloadable) and the full factory warranty. It is guaranteed to work perfectly, but it may have a cosmetic blemish.

Roland SP555 Sampler Customer Review

Feature:
The features are outstanding! This is a big upgrade from the SP404. I used to have to record my drums or guitar into ProTools and then move it into the SP404 (which took at least an hour to get it to sound just right). With this I can capture great samples in less than a minute.

Quality:
I don't see this breaking on me. I've had the SP404 for over a year and half - the SP555 looks even more stable.

Value:
I wish it was a little less. The price should be $555 to match the model number ;)

Desirability:
I want another. I'm using this to replace my Boss RC20XL for my guitar/synth. With the SP555 you can edit the loops you record a lot easier than with the RC20XL. Plus the SP555 offers a foot switch connection!

Sound:
The sounds are much better than the SP404. I now own both and still plan on keeping them.

Ease of Use:
It took me half a day to figure it out, but I already knew how to operate the SP404...

Support:
I haven't had to contact support on this...yet...possibly never

Overall:
I can't leave home without it.

Roland SP555 Sampler Customer Review

Feature:
The features are great. I love the ease of use and incredible workflow. Chopping up samples in a breeze ! I wish it had a real pitch control and more sequencer functions though.

Quality:
seems good... a bit to much plastic in there.

Value:
compared to the MPC500 you get alot more bang for your buck from this machine

Desirability:
This machine is essential for me.

Sound:
Sound is fat and full. You can go real dirty or clean. The FX are great and give you all the sonic control you will need.

Ease of Use:
It simply doesnt get easier than this.

Support:
Roland is always on point with the support.

News
The newest member of the SP-sampler family breaks ground with innovative features such as Loop Capture, and Super Filter. The SP-555 is fast and powerful, but one thing has been preserved from previous SP models: fun! It’s the ultimate toolkit for DJs, producers, sample-based musicians, or performers who want to take their act to the next level.

Features

Ultra-easy sampling with innovative Loop Capture feature

Versatile sampling through Line input, phantom-powered Mic input,USB audio streaming, and WAV/AIFF import

Dozens of killer performance effects, including Super Filter and DJFX Looper

Audio interface capability with any DAW or DJ audio application (Cakewalk SONAR LE included)

Infrared D-BEAM controller and V-LINK compatibility for high-impact performance

Quick, EZ, Versatile Sampling
You can capture sounds instantly onstage using the SP-555’s Line or Mic Inputs, or through USB audio streaming — perfect for DJs or live performers who want to grab sounds and drop them in the mix on the fly. The SP-555 supports up to 2GB CompactFlash for over 12 hours of recording with no-load playback!

Live Loop Capture
This innovative new feature lets you quickly grab a piece of incoming audio or a loop of your live performance and instantly play it back in perfect time with your other tracks. The loops can also be captured through the effects in real time and assigned to a pad for later use. You can even perform sound-on-sound layering with your loops.

Killer Performance FX
From silky gloss to complete audio annihilation, the SP-555 provides 37 types of powerful DSP effects to alter your sounds. Included in the lineup are Voice Transformer, Delay, Isolator, and the unique Super Filter and DJFX Looper, The Effect Memory allows for instant recall of your favorite settings using the pads with no glitching while switching effects.

Visual Magic
Amaze your audience with the SP-555’s D BEAM and V-LINK features. Wave your hands over the invisible D BEAM to tweak the SP-555’s filter, to trigger samples, or to play synth solos. Connect V-LINK compatible video equipment and sync the music to the visuals.

Computer Companion
The SP-555 can be used by itself or with a PC. It can be used as an audio interface for the bundled Cakewalk SONAR LE software or any other DAW or DJ application on your computer! With the bundled Wave Converter software, WAV and AIFF files can be imported and assigned to a CF card for use in the SP-555 (CF reader needed).
