5 SP404-MK2 tips to make YOUR LIFE BETTER 🙌

Hi. I'm a french professional saxophonist and I bought my first beatmaking hardware after months of digging and pros and cons. I'd really like to thank you a lot for your help. You just made my life so much easier With the SP 404 mk2. Your vidz are dope ! Sorry for my English

[@spvidz]

Really glad to help you on your SP journey. Your english is great! 👍

One that helped me a lot: when assigning chops to pads, you can use the scroll wheel to set the starting pad for the bank you are in. If you are about to assign pads in Bank B, you turn it to the right it will start at B2, B3, B4, but when you turn it left it will start at B15, B14, B13. Then press Mark to assign the pads in order from that starting pad.

Stem separation would be a cool update like Akai did w the MPC

[@lavender.b0y926]

I just got a mk2 to use as an Fx processor and portable sampler, but was a little overwhelmed with the amount of features in such a small package! Your tutorials have been so helpful in helping me be able to utilize the 404!! Thank you so much!!!

[@spvidz]

Glad to help 🙌

[@allofmars]

I don't have a SP404 MK2 yet but I've been watching a lot of videos on how to operate it and your videos specifically stand out. Your clear explanations help so much. Thanks for all you do, man

[@spvidz]

Glad to hear that bro! Thanks for tuning in 🙌

[@prsmo]

hello spvidz. can you make more beat making on the SP? so we can see more of the process from scratch? something like sampling to finish?

[@spvidz]

I will try yes

[@prsmo]

thank you!!! @@spvidz

[@buchananStePper]

hi thanks , the most clear and useful tutorials for the MKII!

[@spvidz]

No problem my guy!

[@5al5ap3n15]

Been on the MPC Live II but I’ve got my SP coming in the mail tomorrow and I couldn’t be more excited

[@spvidz]

Dope man! I’m sure you’re gonna love it and it partners up with the live 2 nicely 👌

[@ceej7453]

Always saving the sauce for last! Love it!

[@spvidz]

🙌🙌🙌

[@saiconoise]

Really useful, thanks a lot! But as resample-based beatmaker I miss so much the red peak light (like in the sx) showing when audio is clipping. My beats never sound as good as when i created them on my old sx, and this is one of the reasons. Nowadays doesn't exist something like this in the mk2, isn't it?

[@spvidz]

EXT SOURCE goes red when its peaking but that might only be the signal coming in

[@saiconoise]

@@spvidz Exactly, but nothing when recording with resample mode.. I hope the people at Roland add something similar in a future update. It is one of the biggest drawbacks of the mk2 in my opinion.

[@Makes_Uno]

That roll shortcut!!! 🙌🏽 Good stuff

[@SpeedBoostGamer]

The amount of shortcuts on this thing, 😭😭 thanks for this vid!!

[@spvidz]

It is wild! The hard part is remembering them all lol

[@souldefunk]

[@aquietgarden]

Thanks so much for this, it's really helpful!

[@spvidz]

np! 👊

[@BrancoArgenta]

Still waiting on the next firmware update!

[@spvidz]

Fingers crossed they’re working on something

[@M-Horton]

True. It's long overdue. Hopefully they update the resample function.

[@petes6817]

This

[@BrancoArgenta]

@@M-Horton Or Updated Pattern Edit where you can merge Patterns or paste 2 different patterns one after another

[@BrancoArgenta]

And also a Ducking effect or atleast an envelope follower kind of thing

[@insanedumpling123]

I’ve been having troubles making things with 8 bars on tr mode. Everytime I try to make something more than 4 bars it’ll cut out the drums or sample. I checked everything is off and I even reset it to factory deleting all my old beats and samples pls help

[@insanedumpling123]

One thing I notice too is that it has a extra .4 bars what is that about?

[@BogotaBanana]

Great tips! Beceause of your videos I bought a sp404mk2.

[@LukeGauthier7]

[@RobotClinic]

It freaked me out! ​@@spvidzI thought oh who's this on his channel? Bring back the OG voice!

[@9877joseph]

[@wiggesobk]

Nice Tips!

[@spvidz]

Thanks man! Always appreciate your comments 👊

[@constantinflux]

Didn’t know the last tip! Thanks! Oh, did you forget to activate Bus 3+4 for the voice in this video ;) or you got someone sleeping in the next room?

[@spvidz]
