Roland SP-808/808EX Tutorial
Description
Learning how to use your new Roland SP-808/SP-808EX has never been easier thanks to the official Roland DVD Owner's Manual!
The SP-808 Groove Sampler is the first product of its kind—a sampling and recording workstation which is one part professional-quality phrase sampler; one part hard disk audio recorder. Developed to meet the needs of a growing "remix" and sampling-based music market, the SP-808 provides everything DJs, sampling musicians and remix artists need to lay down fat grooves and create professional-quality remixes.
While this DVD is shot exclusively using the original SP-808, users of the SP-808EX will be able to use this DVD as well.

Customer Reviews
Well, excellent purchase.
After spending hours getting confused by the manual, the opportunity to get a broken down video tutorial explaining each area and feature of the sp808 is fantastic.
Just certain things I couldn't wrap my head round, but I have now.
If you are a better visual/audio learner there is not a better resource for our beloved Roland Sp808 (+ex)
