Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized Roland dealer

The SP808EX combines a sophisticated phrase sampler with a digital multi-track recorder, a comprehensive effects unit, and some trick time-stretching functions into a complete production studio for sampling musicians, remixers, broadcasters, and DJs.

Record onto any of 4 stereo audio tracks. Trigger your samples from the 16 assignable pads; those pads have 64 banks of memory behind them. Put your mic or guitar through the multi-effects unit, or fire up the 10-band Vocoder. Change the timbre, pitch, even gender of your voice with the Voice Transformer, and use the Mic simulator to evoke the tone of many of the world's rarest and most expensive microphones.

There's automatic tempo calculation and timestretch functions to allow you to "tweeze" your samples into beats that might not at first be a proper fit. Use the dual D-beam controllers that use hand movement over infrared light for a unique performance, or unique control.

The SP808EX has a translucent case like that popular computer, very chic, and oh-so-modern!

Why fight traffic and pushy salesmen when we'll bring your gear straight to your home, free of charge?

zZounds free shipping is really free!: No hidden charges or hassles on returns.
Fast, reliable delivery: We have warehouses on both coasts, so most shipments arrive in 3 days or less.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
