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.

Mind boggled by the manual no more!

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)
