The VS-840 are also a dime a dozen here too which is great on the wallet.
The SP-808 is a great groove box for backtracks and for the prices they are going in Japan now it’s crazy not to pick up a couple. I like to buy used gear and think outside the box a little bit. Of course one can expand on the SP-808 and create sampled grooves plus one can record tracks onto the VS-840EX no problem.īoth however are older machines so you have to expect limitations at times if you want to really use them for their intended purposes. For this the SP-808 and the VS-840EX work very well. In other words, I like to use them as back track machines that I can use to play along with using my keyboards or guitars. Roland VS-840EX It’s important to note that my main uses for both machines is to simply trigger samples and apply effects. The SP-808 in particular sounds really good. Both machines sound fantastic, especially the SP-808EX.Īll in all, these are two very capable machines and are both a joy to use even though they are older devices. I then use the BR WAV converter to import WAV files into the VS-840. I use the SP-808 WWAC converter program on my computer to import WAV files.
Both the Roland SP-808EX and VS-840EX are excellent for triggering samples. The Roland VS-840 already was an EX version and I upgraded the two SP-808 samplers to the EX software version using OS midi files found online. I found a Roland VS-840EX in mint condition along with two Roland SP-808 samplers at rock bottom prices.
