I had sp808, so its bigbrother. Game changer. I believe I have it still.. somewhere.

This sampler was a game changer

So working with this device in conjunction with a sp404 Mark 2 would be the best way to use it right?

Digging in the crates . Since late 90s

Rest power Ras G. I have few his vinyls

im a bit stuck on finish my tracks from the sp404 with the mix and master in ableton, any help with this? :)

❤

Great tips

can it record the performances into song mode data so you can play back the performance? is the effects channel insert effects for each channel or master sends?

Recording vocals on the sp404 mkII is really something special , its got that casio sk-1 deal where you have harmonies playing at different speeds which really adds a cool effect! you hear somthing that pops out of the mix and then capitalize on it intentionally and re record. its been a great idea maker and like you said a puzzle! I'm coming from cubase and was looking to get away from software, and it has been exceeding my expectations, although I will say it has taken a lot to get used to , it has been a completely different music making experience than im used to, it is my first run at portable samplers, maybe that's why i love it so much, i can literally record in a tree stand, its cool. I also like how the pads light up with whichever scale you select to play,

No mention of the sub bass?????

Try maschine 3.0. It's a bug fest, and now we have a 3.0.1 and guess what, it's still a bug fest of not working plugins (scaler 2 audio), all plugins (including UHE Diva) not scaling correctly after the monitor sleeps and wakes up, or not scaling correctly at all. If this is the standard of German quality AD 2024, I'm glad I drive a Japanese car. What they did solve though is the weird behavior of Massive X dials when using this piece of crap. Unfortunately that does not help other pieces of legacy NI software like Funk Guitar. Laugable. I prefer the SP404 Mk2 over it any time. And I'm looking at Ableton more and more. Or going entirely hardware with a X SE or my current 2500 SE.

I love my SX, but the OG404 had the best sound imo. Sadly mine died so I'm strictly 202,303,404sx for now. Thank you for this video. The SX was and still is a beast when it first dropped.

I still do live shows with my sx, fx pedals, and a synth. It's a lot of fun, and the simplicity keeps the show moving along

Forget the sampler what is that sample it sounds gorgeous?

When the mk2 came out I just brought a mpc live 2 and a mpc one instead

That's exactly why I didn't buy the mk2

Great video 🖤

I totally agree with you SPVIDZ the older version is much better than the mk2 I have 202 303 and 2 Sx/a and a Dr groove 202 I want to buy another 202 and 303 in the future just to have them because I like them so much

Please make more of these videos too because I stop watching the channel now because all you talk about is the mk2 and the mk2 doesn't interest me at all

I'm waiting for the mk3 because I didn't like the mk2 at all

"But Beautiful" .... is the name of the jazz standard tune that is played by Jazz pianist - cool video

I'm glad because I hate the mk2

Totally agree on your point regarding testing of updates. A lot of those bugs should have not been there!

I created a "studio b" area recently to give my sx and other more rarely used gear some love and to experiment with some sounds. Loving using the built in mic again to make drums.

The SX simplicity wins it for me, but maybe I'm just getting too old for button combos. The MKII in a larger form factor with more dedicated buttons would be so much fun.

These points are all some of my favorite aspects of the SX. Simplicity and lack of bugs are huge pros. The SX is still going strong in my music making setup. The MK2 came and went, but the SX is eternal hahaa

Maybe Roland wanted to make sure that the SX will always be special so that mic is an example. 😊

A mic on the MK2 would have been the absolute cherry on the cake. I always wondered why it didn’t come with it.

Crusher into lofi on the mk 2 gets pretty close to lofi button. Definitely would’ve been nice to have just a button though

My SP404 MKII & SP404 SX are side by side in my studio. I absolutely love incorporating the two with my MicroFreak.

I definetly feel the last point. I also like the clunky pads haha. But of course the mk2 pads are super nice.

Hiya! Quick question.. to use with a DAW would you recommend ableton or logic? Or are either suitable? Thank you!!

these tips in shorts format are like actual gold man. you really are the pulse of this community

They gotta bring back the Kemps Gingerbread Man ice cream sandwiches

The p6 is great. I love mine now that im familiar with the menu.

I picked one up yesterday. I’m excited to learn it. I think it’ll pair well with my op-1

Great job mate. Cheers!

If you are sampling with a stereo effect like chorus ..make sure you dont sample in mono😂...that caught me out for a few minute's

Its about time bro i use mine like an sp1200 then into the mpc

Thanks for the video ------- thing i discovered: the 404 will not recognize files with dates in them aka "songtitle 7/9/24.wav" you have to rename the file with no date. found that out today when i was trying to import songs and was getting the "ENP" code

Great video!

Rocking the fingerboard that's what I'm talking about.
