SP-808: Using the Foot Switch
The foot pedal input is a useful real-time tool. Various functions can be routed to the foot pedal so
your hands can focus on other SP-808 functions.
PLAY/STOP: Start and stop playing back a song.
DAMPER: Use the pedal like a keyboard sustain pedal.
SAMPL TRIG: Play designated samples in each pad bank.
FX ON/OFF: Turning effects on and off.
PUNCH I/O: Punch in and out of record during recording.
Use the following procedure to select Foot Switch functions:
1. Press SYSTEM/DISK.
2. Check to make sure that "Set System Param?" is selected and press ENTER/YES.
3. Use the CURSOR UP/DOWN buttons to select "FSW Func" (Foot Switch Function).
4. Use the VALUE dial to select "PLAY/STOP," "DAMPER," "SAMPL TRIG," "FX ON/OFF," or "PUNCH
I/O."
5. Press PLAY to return to the basic screens.
NOTE: These changes are automatically saved when the disk is ejected. No save procedure is
necessary.
SP-808: Cleanup Disk Options
The SP-808 stores all data on the internal Zip drive. Data can remain on disk, using up valuable disk
space, even if the data has been erased, cut, or truncated. Use the Cleanup Disk function to regain
previously edited sampling or recording time. The Cleanup Disk function on the SP-808 has two
options, "Quick" and "Standard."
Quick : Frees up recording time on the 4-track recorder that has been cut or erased, but does not
free up sampling time that was truncated.
Standard : Frees up recording time on the 4-track recorder that has been cut or erased, and also
frees up sampling time that was truncated.
SP-808: Saving the System to a Zip Disk
The SP-808's operating system can be transferred to a Zip disk. This is useful for backing up the
current operating system for future use. Use the following procedure to backup the system to a Zip
disk:
1. Hold down LOCATOR 1 and CLEAR while turning on the SP-808.
2. Make sure there is a formatted Zip disk in the internal Zip drive.
3. Press ENTER.
