roland sp606

I'v just got one of these real cheap and wondered if there were other people using it? I'm very satisfied and spent about two hours mashing up a really nice vocal sample. I'm trying to treat it on its own merits - clean crisp repruduction, long sampling time, great effects and real time filter modulation with the d beam. Without reference to other samplers which are more popular. I'm thinking of using the 4 track sequencer for a whole finished song and think I can find creative ways to make 4 tracks bearable. In a way I like its limitations as they are also inspiring because they force you to work with/within its limitations.

I had one for a while, bought for a project that vaporized :evil: so I sold it.

Coolest feature for me was the MIDI/audio interface functionality. 606 + laptop is a viable gig rig 8)
I listened to Hatfield and the North at Rainbow. They were very wonderful and they made my heart a prisoner.
