Features
Features
SP Lineage Unlike the predecessors, the SP-606 was designed in collaboration with Cakewalk. As a result, the sampler was bundled with the then-new P606 software from Cakewalk for enhanced integration and functionality with a PC. The SP-606 has over 40 various effects, which include Isolator, Filter + Drive, Slicer, Reverb, Tape Echo. It also has the D Beam feature, which allows the user to control 3 different effects physically, including synth, trigger, and filter. The maximum number of samples that can be internally stored is 128. Samples are recorded in 'SP606 original format', with the memory used equating roughly to 16MB. Audio samples are imported and exported in WAV/AIF file format, by way of CompactFlash. Additionally, CompactFlash is used to update the sampler itself. MIDI can be transferred via USB connection for both Mac and PC.
