Using effects
The SP-555 contains 37 types of effects. However, you can
use only one type of effect at a time. You can’t use a multiple
number of effects at the same time.
By default, the effect will be applied only to the pad you
pressed most recently (the “current pad”).
You can directly select the five effects SUPER FILTER ,
VOICE TRANS (voice transformer), DELAY , ISOLATOR ,
and DJFX LOOPER by pressing a button. To choose one of
the other effects, press the MFX button, then press a bank (A
or B), and finally press a pad 1–16 to select the desired
effect.
The SP-555 has an effect memory function, which lets you
use [EFFECT MEMORY] to store and instantly switch among
up to sixteen effect settings.
1. Press the pads to find the sample to which you want to
apply an effect. The effect will be applied to the pad
you pressed last (the “current pad”).
2. Press the appropriate button for the effect you want to
apply.
To select SUPER FILTER, VOICE TRANS, DELAY,
ISOLATOR, or DJFX LOOPER, simply press the
corresponding button. For MFX, hold down [MFX] and
turn the CTRL 3 knob to select an effect while viewing
the display.
3. Turn the CTRL 1–CTRL 3 knobs to adjust the effect.
The parameters that are controlled by the CTRL 1–CTRL
3 knobs will depend on the effect type. Refer to
“Effect
list” (p. 54).
If you want to apply an effect to the mic/line input as well,
hold down [EFFECT ASSIGN] and press [MIC] or [LINE IN].
* The effect will be applied to both the line input and mic. You
can’t apply the effect to just one or the other.
You can use [EFFECT MEMORY] to store and instantly call
up EFFECT settings (effect type and CTRL 1/2/3 knob
values).
1. Make the necessary settings for the effect, so it’s in the
state you want to store.
2. Press [EFFECT MEMORY].
3. Press [SAMPLING]. Pads 1–16 will blink.
4. Press the pad to which you want to store the effect
settings. The pad you pressed will light, and
[SAMPLING] will blink.
5. Press [SAMPLING] to store the current effect settings.
1. Press [EFFECT MEMORY] so the button is lit.
2. Press a pad 1–16 to call up the stored settings.
The effect type and the values for the CTRL 1/2/3 knobs
will be called up.
Since the values for the CTRL 1/2/3 knobs that existed at the
time you stored the effect are given priority, the current
physical position of the CTRL 1/2/3 knobs will not match the
effect that is applied.
1. Press [EFFECT MEMORY] so the button is lit.
2. Hold down [REMAIN], and press the pad that you want
to check.
While you hold down [REMAIN], the LED for the effect
type stored at that pad will blink (if the effect is one of
the five types that can be selected directly by a button),
or the 7-segment LED will indicate the bank and number
(A.1–B.16).
