remember when 4MB meant something

So a friend just gave me a Dr. Sample and I recon that thing can handle a 4 MB flash card. Nowadays I can't find one that small. I guess cause this technology is so 1995. any ideas where to look?

I had an SP-202 sampler by Boss that used 4MB smartmedia card, were you looking for a SM card or Compact Flash card? I think there is an old Apple digi cam that they sell on eBay that you can buy that comes with that kind of card included.

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE my SP-202. It's honestly one of the most under rated pieces of equipment going. i've probably used it in every band i've been in. One time I took all the drum machines I owned and sampled one hits at different fidelities on the SP202. I panned all the lower frequency stuff to the left side (bass drums, toms, etc), higher frequencies to the right (hats, snare, etc). I basically made a trip-hop electronic drumkit that I attached to my drumkat. It ruled.

Oh man you're right! I was looking for flash memory but I should have searched SM. Thanks d. These are totally on ebay for me

neat. What do you do, run it through a DI then on stage or go through your guitar rig? I was thinking of using the lofi setting and running it through guitar amp because (this might get nerdy) the sample rate is like 8k which would mean the sample could produce 4k which should be about tops on a guitar amp speaker. whew

i'd run the left and right outs to individual DI's. that way i could have an input for the more bassy stuff and an input for the more trebly stuff. it can actually record 44.1 and then keep going down from there. i used to run mics through it and sing through the vocoder as well. i'm telling you, the thing rules.
