Roland sp404 mk2 Sampling and Chopping Samples Tutorial

[@solventless808]

If you press the resample button while you are setting your start or end points it will snap to the nearest zero cross point to minimize any clicks. Saves a little time vs adjusting it with the envelope mode.

[@gkilm]

That is useful! And to help new users to understand, If a loop starts or stops in the middle of a wave form, your speakers will make a pop sound due to their physical movement. So it is best to make a cut when the wavepoint is neutral.

Re: SDHC cards less than 32GB are the only ones that will work when updating. With the new update you can use SDXC up to 1TB. Thanks for the video it was really helpful!

[@Simon-fo3iy]

I guess that depends on the version, you're upgrading from. I successfully upgraded from 3.x to 4.x with a 64 Gb card.

[@ajmccarthy3896]

You are a terrific teacher man. I remember watching your MPC videos a few years back, and now as a new owner of the 404mkii I'm here listening again. You have a knack of taking concepts and breaking them down and then, a few minutes later you always manage to repeat the idea again so that if someone missed it the first time, you almost always touch on it again to drive the point home. That's a skill as a tutor/teacher. Thanks for these videos, incredibly useful and fun to work alongside.

[@WaldoBagelTopper]

I second that- he brings it back around full circle at some points.

[@wettsoggynoodles]

same here !! except it’s been within a year of first finding his page and now having my sp!!

[@MortChud]

This is definitely one of the best 404 mk2 tutorials i've seen.

[@LaymensLament]

Thanks alot, this is really the only video i needed to see, you actually hit everything you come across when sampling, truncating, performance chopping, one shot mode, choke groups.

[@malobeats]

Hey brother, thank you so much for the feedback. I’m glad this was helpful in your workflow. Nothing but love and blessings to you. 🫡

[@blkrbbt]

I just got my 404 after 5 months on preorder... and I have been watching a ton of videos, but this one RIGHT HERE SON... This is what I was looking for... big ups

[@luiso.9103]

I’m new to SP 404 , thank u for the teaching !!

[@darriusbattle]

Just got mine. Coming from Maschine mk3 but I’m rusty.lol. Been out the game for a minute. This video right here is gonna put me where I need to be. Can’t be explained any better. I subscribed to the channel. Amazing tutorial. Great way of explaining.

[@BigG_74]

One of the best tutorials on the SP-404mkII ! Very helpful! Thanks

[@devoncraigjohnson]

I watched this video before getting the SP and it was great. I’m watching it again after getting the SP and it just saved me 🙏🙏🙏

[@AlexHippert]

Fantastic tutorial!

Finaly i found a good review on that thing 🙏

[@hopkinsjonathanuk]

Amazing video. So clear. And now so many more features have been released, it’s an even more powerful piece of kit

[@jovwrath]

Thank you for this Tutorial! I didn't know about all those little shortcuts you can make. it makes sampling and chopping so much more organic!

[@poorrichard1321]

I appreciate you putting this vid together. I'm sure ill revisit this one if i ever get my 404...

[@malobeats]

Thank you Richard, yes I hope they can ship these out soon because I know a lot of other people have theirs on back order

[@davidmaskew]

Really good video, thanks for taking the time to go through this. I'm a complete newbie to this kind of thing and I've just got a 404 mk2. I've been interested in this type of thing for years but never tried it. I've seen the 404 being used for years and always liked the results people get once they've taken the time to learn the machine so I'm giving it a go.

[@alangunn3850]

getting my loops in time has been a missing piece for me as a newbie to samplers. thanks for explaining so well!

[@SamSilk]

This time I finally got me some SP404 MKII. This video was a goldmine.

[@jjbing3]

I’m trying to get a Sp404. This was a perfect video that I needed! Thank you 🙏🏾

[@MakingMadBeats]

Very nice explanation of the sampling features! Thx

[@malobeats]

Thank you brother I really appreciate you taking the time out of your day and sharing your input. Nothing but love and blessings to you

[@MakingMadBeats]

@@malobeats Anytime, man! I appreciate the effort you put in your work. Your videos and the quality have grown so much and your beats are getting better and better at the same time! The only "con" would be the amount of "G.A.S." that you bring out of me but that' s on me, bro! Stick with your guns should be the motto 😎! I ordered the SP to sample/resample between Maschine MK3 and the SP, so to use it primarly as an effects box. Hopefully the routing will be possible to do how I imagine 🤞

[@ZEALE]

So dope man! Love the content on the SP and One. Subbed 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@malobeats]

Hey brother, thank you so much for taking the time and watching the video and also sharing your feedback it really means a lot coming from you. Blessings to you brother 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@dpwaldman3145]

Very good video. Now you’re on my list! Still waiting for my unit to show up. Just getting used to the concepts. This will be my first sampler!

[@malobeats]

Hey brother, I highly appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and I’m excited for you hopefully you get yours very soon. I got some new cons in coming out on the next few weeks with this machine as it’s been very fun to use

WOW thank you man. You’re an awesome educator. You explain clearly what you’re doing and in this 20 mins as a sp404 nube i learnt more that umpteen other ‘how to’s’ done with lightening speed muscle memory workflow style thats impossible to follow. Ya got a new subscriber dude😘😘

[@creativedwill]

Definitely going to be my next purchase! They are on back order till like March. Great video bro!

[@malobeats]

I appreciate you dropping by brother, it’s a bummer they have these on back order still but hopefully they will to get them back in stock sometime soon.

Ive had the mk2 for a year and must say, i wish i watched this instead of reading the manual! 😂

[@Trovarsi]

Thanks for this video! I recently got this thinking I would just be able to sample my Modular quickly and be able to build a sample library on the fly, BUT I almost gave up on this box. This is the best video on this topic I have found so far! Concise!! I hope you do more videos on this piece of gear.

[@TheBrothers759]

You definitely can do that!

[@clint9536]

[@davidscott2095]

Great video, Malo. An outstanding accompaniment to the MPC One or Maschine MK3. Thank You for the outstanding content. Blessings!

[@jdbeast]

Seeing this video like "this Wil be a great addition t my MPC live II" even though I'm still going through the MPC Bible

[@malobeats]

Hahahah I know what you mean, well if you do get this along with the MPC I’m sure you’re gonna have a lot of fun. This this thing is an amazing companion to the MPC.

I appreciate your kind words thank you for taking the time and watching the video

[@777wisdom7]

Dude you should make a course you are a good teacher

[@malobeats]

Hey brother, thank you so much for these words of encouragement you have no idea how much it means. I have not announced it yet but I am working on a course for the MPC and really would want to do one for the SP404 down the road as well I’ll be releasing more information about this later but I really appreciate you bringing this up as he gives me feedback. Blessings to you brother

[@tom22333]

Dope. Didn't know about the bpm sync option

[@malobeats]

I really been enjoying it on this machine and has been really easy and fast to use

[@gorahk12]

Hey bro! this is very helpful explaining vid for me! Could you make a video tutorial how to record paterns and extract to the computer? Thank you

[@malobeats]

Hey brother, thank you so much for dropping by with this request as I am working on a video going over the pattern sequencer as we speak this comment really helps me out to tailor the video a little better. When you mention on how to extract to the computer, are you talking about on stemming out your beats into your DAW for mixing?

[@uselessvideo]

@@malobeats Well I'm not sure about him, but yeah I would like to see a demo on that Lol. I have Ableton but I'm sure the process would b similar across the board.

[@RustyShacklefordIrishHipHop]

The absolute boss!

[@malobeats]

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@fl8158]

best tutorial ive seen! thx!

[@prufrockrenegade]

I would love to see something about the MkII's song mode if you feel like putting a video out on it. I have an OG 404 a friend gave me years ago, but I never really vibed with it because it doesn't have a full sequencer like an MPC. I've seen that the new ones have a song mode, but some people say it isn't really fleshed out enough. I'd love to hear your opinion on it

[@Metareduxxx]

thanks dude

[@JEBJOSH]

This video was awesome man thank you ❤❤

[@sullycliftona]

[@Furie66]

Ya man.moving from the 303 to this...finally..been 15yrs...got so many samples..so little time..😅

[@mixoh]

Thank you for such a great tutorial!

[@synth-studio]

Man, thanks for making this. It’s such a great explanation of sampling on the new 404.

[@catoleg]

Thank you sir, very informative

[@CODACAIN76]

I know this video may be a year old it’s still educational and inspirational! I d like to know what are the devices you have in your studio on your desk displayed in this video if you don’t mind me asking

[@cperch37]

Thanks Bro, very clear and concise walk through. I’m really considering getting one but wanted to understand the workflow first. This helped immensely. Will watch your other vids as well.

[@arlonaparstek6536]

Amazing video really helpful walk through

[@dyscotopia]

Something that would really make the device more fun and spontaneous is if I could set the velocity I hit the pad with to trigger mark points. I miss this from my old sampler. I could set the velocity to volume, sample start points, filter and more

[@HzofArt]

Best Damn tutorial out on making a beat 👊🏾 on this

[@amstaffyoshi1480]

Thank you for the great video.

[@johnmadere]

Strongly considering picking up a 404 and have been checking out your videos. Have a lot of experience with the Digitakt but none with the 404. Feel like I already know a little bit about its workflow from checking out what you've put out there. Thanks and keep it up!

[@malobeats]

Hey John, I appreciate you taking the time and sharing this feedback with me and I also had the Digitakt at a point but honestly these samplers are all great in their own way just a complete different workflow. I personally feel like the 404 has a little more to offer when it comes down to it sequencer versus the Digitakt but like I said everybody has a preference with their sampling workflow

[@johnmadere]

@@malobeats I think actually sampling seems more well served on the 404 from what I’m seeing. I mean, I’ve recorded sounds to my Digitakt but ended up just tweaking them and using them as one shots. I know you can do the chopping on it as well, but seems way different. I think I’d use them as two entirely different things that could compliment each other.

[@eunseo-ls7vk]

Thanks for the tutorial. Is there anyway I can adjust the tempo without affecting the pitch of sample or vice versa?

[@جورجشاهين-ر7ث]
