Adding Effects To Samples - Boss Dr. Sample SP-303 Owner's Manual

QUICK START

Adding Effects to Samples

The SP-303 has 26 effects which can add special characters to
the sound.
Here's how to try out these effects and hear what they can do.
Of the twenty-six effects, you can select five of them–
Filter + Overdrive, Pitch Shifter, Delay, Vinyl Simulator,
and Isolator–by directly pressing their buttons.
The other twenty-one effects are grouped together in
MFX (the multi-effects). Hold down [MFX] and turn the
CTRL 3/MFX knob to select which of these twenty-one
effects is to be used.
Here, try applying Filter + Overdrive to the sample.

4. Turn the CTRL 1–3 knobs to adjust the amount of Filter
+ Overdrive to be applied.
CTRL 1 (CUTOFF):
Adjusts the filter cutoff frequency. The more the knob is
turned to the left the darker the sound becomes;
conversely, turning this to the right (clockwise) gives the
sound a brighter, clearer feeling.
CTRL 2 (RESONANCE):
Adjusts the filter resonance. The more the knob is turned
to the right, the more the sound's particular
characteristics are emphasized.
CTRL 3 (DRIVE):
Adjusts the amount of distortion in the filter. The more
the knob is turned to the right, the greater the amount of
distortion, creating a wilder sound.
5. To turn the Filter + Overdrive off, press
[FILTER+DRIVE]; the light goes out.
