we need more stuff with the sp404 that is not the cursed lofihiphoptostudyto

[@lucassurgeon4122]

fr. it's so damn versatile

[@VioletPrism]

Seriously wtf so much of the same music thanks algorithm

[@MarkBourassaJr]

Hahahahaha

[@rblfrmthewstdwn]

YES!!!!

[@bjmarchives]

Yeah, at first I felt like this would be pretty ideal for realistic drum, bass, and other sampling to run though my pedalboard (guitar) with eventide space, timefactor, etc. but every KZbin video is by some guy making mad hiphop beatz yo.

[@richeeskullz]

Epic. Went to HS with Nick. Dudes pure talent.

[@j.powellnetwork]

Awesome! I interviewed him on my guitar podcast. An underrated genius he is.

[@SteveBlues]

You gotta love the attitude he has toward the creative process and it not having to be too perfect. Thats exactly what its about. Nice touch with that contact mic by the way. Truly enjoyed this video!

[@realSeanMcMahon]

I’m a total beginner in this world and this video was SUPER helpful to get my head in the game. Thanks my man

[@Two-Eyed_Boy]

I really didn't expect to see Nick jamming with a 404 today but I'm so glad I did. Everyone who works with the 404 truly operates it in their own way. So awesome so see this!

The places I see you.

[@Two-Eyed_Boy]

@@tigmil8116 we're on the same wavelength of the algorithm 🤣

[@casadebaza8888]

Someone get this man an MK2. No need to worry about stereo sampling, viewable waveforms for your samples to easily set start and end points, plus changing the loop start point, envelope manipulation and so much more

[@matthewallthetime218]

This is easily one of the best creator videos ever posted to this ridiculous website. Thank you.

[@doomsdaydanceparty7646]

Because everything Nick touches turns to GOLD!

[@robertsyrett1992]

4:08 holy moly!! That takes finger drumming in a whole new direction. I love it!

[@Guacamole1000]

I love people using the SP in creative ways like this! Just the drum loop sounded so cool, "wacky" doesn't do it justice!

[@modulated_]

need more of these!! nick is the best ever

[@gmmc_central]

God damn every time i watch or listen to him play i wanna start playing too!

[@yungfatherfigure9737]

This is exactly the video I’ve been looking for for years!

[@sprthhfk]

I can tell that there was a lot of this in the Undo K From Hot sessions.

[@antsteep]

Showing the rawness of the process. I like it

[@skiptabor]

Sick! Some serious Aphex vibes.

[@Newgrassrock]

My microphonic pickups in my Gibson sound like your contact microphone. Thanks for the lesson Nick! So much love for you, your bands and your playing!

[@ptalch]

Very creative. Got the mk ii yesterday looking for things to learn. But this is incredible. Just subscribed

[@kevmac1230]

Nick you may think you lack certain tech skill with this unit but you're light-years ahead of me.

[@demo3003]

Hell yeh! Im a rock/metal guitarist and i just got into mixing electric music. I have the akai force, 404 mk2 and elektron rytm 2. Can wait to see what mixes and creations i can come up with. Nice work bud 🤘

[@arnevanhalle1283]

great setup mate! I got a force and a rytm as well :)

[@Logan-rb6tl]

Check out vein or maybe machine girl for that metal sound with electronic/industrial stuff

[@ILLNOIZE]

🔥 🔥 🔥 You are the Lez Claypool of the SP 404!!! Killing it my man!!!

[@InFamousProductions]

I never heard of that dude, but I'm gonna check out his tunes, I like his kooky just do it attitude

[@auxarcen]

Haha, just got the MK2 today and was planning on doing something like this, perfect timing and amazing inspiration

[@elnickro]

Love these types of videos, SUPER INSPIRING!!

[@Seletixarp]

Thank you. I've been looking for a video about how I might incorporate this into my guitar workflow.

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

Great experiment, super interesting.

[@bernieflanders]

1:14 : It is. More vids coming soon..

[@ryangaston5876]

Gonna be reaaaaal sick

[@slowdeath3856]

Somebody give this man an Octatrack.

[@CreepyT]

Great seeing Nick. How's Juan doing? Miss P&E vids so much!

[@MrDaigoRiki]

Just WOW 🤩 I love this guy.

[@vogelvogeltje]

Sup Nick. You’re awesome. Happy new year from a fan in Stockton ca

[@stickfeed3288]

I love Bygones, it’s awesome to see nick

[@justinraymund]

NOW I WANT A GUITAR AND SOME PEDALS. (That looks really fun)

[@jejelad]

Trimming is easy! Probably wouldn't make a good youtube video but I usually sample whatever on sampler then pull out the memory card, open the memory card on my Mac and edit on a wave editor. Or if I'm sampling from a record, I record into a wave editor, edit the sample then put it on the card which goes back into the sampler. Also, sick vid!

[@soffter]

ready for the reinharting

[@thekanehall]

Love the breakdown! Great information! 🙏🤙

[@Creed_fan_69]

“Level of jank I’m comfortable with” lol story of my life

[@Barry101er]

We love Nick!!!!

[@PerfectCircuit]

us too ! ! !

[@deadseatransform]

This is amazing, nick is amazing

[@c4shguy224]

I loved nick on Jenny Death, epic workflow ngl

[@dragon-id5uj]

for those following along at home: if you DON't delete the previous loops as you resample, you can then use them as different sections; in effect able to build up/break down. the end product sounds like various levels of intensity to the percussion/whatever else you're building. example: INTRO: flangey mic loop. VERSE: flangey mic loop PLUS drum samples. CHORUS: The Whole Kitchen ya dig?

[@chiefbucknell]

Nick is the best.

[@nikolaia.jackson9051]

Awesome Sauce!!!

[@willblume]

Hey Nick I have been searching far and wide could you PLZZZ tell me; how do u connect a foot trigger to launch samples on the SP 404?? (if anyone else knows plzz help) Big love, Will Blume.

[@dillipphunbar7924]

Somebody get this guy the mk2......the storage space alone will make things so much easier for him. Good onya Nick. Afterthought, given that he is already familiar with sampling on this, the addition of the BOSS RC-505, at the very end of his chain, might really help.

[@montenegrorj]

That's so cool!

[@nickpharvey]

O let’s go. This video rules

[@swap3034]

yes the compressor is a badass

[@micaramos4046]

[@brucebaldy]

Cool device and nifty grooves

[@weddiedon]

would love to see you using the new chase bliss habit

[@raymondo1021]

Brilliant stuff😼👍

[@megaterius]

Instant Aphex Twin! :D

[@New_Zealand_Music]

This is brilliant. Thank you so much. Would love an SP. But I have to use my old loop station (or Koala for android). As a surrogate sampler. Bit of a workaround I guess. The vocal sound , sounds Haunting. I so want to do this with my g2m. Love making my own triggers; why buy em? Heh. Do you happen to have an opinion on Sinevibes effects algorithms? Cheers

[@dwcc789]

Very cool

[@filemakerpro4050]

Is that a wrench behind the couch? If so, what the hell does it turn?

[@Pheonix0114]

Fire Lazer percussion!

[@outdatedgear5036]

Reminds me of Tom Morello getting innovative in the 90s!

[@blahblah606]

The grid is soul death. Nuance and imperfection is more of what modern music needs. I hope you keep embracing it.

[@mihcael]

So good thank you

[@evryordnryprsn]

Which contact mic?

[@mistersparrow]

this man is adorable and informative

[@JhuanSteve]

Consulta: como configuraste el nivel automatico en 3 y que significa eso? Min 3.30.

[@francobenedetti4316]

can you use external effects like pedal with the samples loaded in the machine?

[@ramirofaunokozmiko]

Wow !! This is super original and crazy ! What would be the principal differences between the SP404 and a loop pedal ?

[@KurtCobain94677]

every orange beanie i see nowadays "SPVIDS IS THAT YOU?! "

[@zerotolerance5019]

I bought my sp404sx used... the original sd card wasn't included... I've tried many times to download the wave converter to a new card after formatting... I'm using windows 11 and it won't open converter... is there any alternatives

[@NobodyNewsNetwork]

6:04 A little NIN Closer. 🤣

[@spikestoyou]

Autechre x Tera Melos

[@laiklovesmusic]

I wonder what Nicks thoughts are on the Akai MPCs

didnt realize until i looked at the comments that this was the guy from tera melos and bygones holy shit

[@Talentedvictim]

Due This Is It

[@shoseinen]

What's the purpose of the Boss LS2 in this case? Very nice video

[@middle_pickup]

He's switching between his guitar and the little weird microphone he mounted to the rhythm control plate. Notice there are two cables leaving his jag.

[@shoseinen]

@@middle_pickup Ahh yes thank you, i forgot about that!

[@wetcassettes8138]

You never need to trim it Nick, never.

[@MrKrasean]

Would this sampler device be usable for lo-fi hip hop though? Asking for a friend...

[@ChrisRebellion216]

this device made lofi hip hop lol

[@scandalousbeans2591]

Check out his channel pedals and effects

[@STONE30man]

Отлично на гитаре играешь чувак ! :)

[@Claidheambmor]

Starfox FTW

[@ianhively8378]

Yeah dont let the hipster lofi dilla wanna be’s make you feel bad for not knowing how to use the 404. I found so much awesome stuff on my sp202 and 303 by not knowing what the heck I was doing. You can do organic squarepusher/ jungle breaks by using the mark function and fucking with shit live. Keep on keeping on. Peace love and pitbullz

[@kurisuchiinathecrocodile333]

can you go a bit more in-details about drill'n'bass and "mark" thing?

[@codymanfosway]

What contact mic is used?

[@PerfectCircuit]

check out the signal article~!

[@Hasserfyllt]

@@PerfectCircuit there is no answer, just "contact mic". sadly. i would also like to know what specific mic he is using.

[@SLDR23876]

from his twitter: "just whatever the cheapest contact mic was off amazon. literally doesn’t matter. by design they’re cheap shitty mics"

[@nomdeplore7604]

first pass really reminds of RDJ

[@mothsinthecanyon]

what was the effect he was using at 20:40 and 20:48??

[@mummermusic]

It wasn’t an effect, he was scanning through the start/end point of the sample. On the SP-404A when you want to trim the start or end point of a sample, you have to choose a numerical value for when the start or end is. Each new value retriggers the sample, so if you scan through these values really quickly it creates these granular tones as the start point is quickly shifted in milliseconds and continually retiggered. Does that help?

[@mothsinthecanyon]

@@mummermusic ayyy thank you so much. i've used that function before but i guess i didn't realize how interesting and textural it could get to play with! much abliged.

[@mummermusic]

@@mothsinthecanyon I got a Bastl Microgranny mostly because it’s this but automated (plus all that lo-fi goodness too), such a cool sound!

[@mothsinthecanyon]

@@mummermusic I have one too!!!! you're on it friend :))

[@mothsinthecanyon]

@@mummermusic can i ask which version you have?

[@lordgeronimo72]

Any recommendations for a contact mic to put on my Jazzmaster?

[@joshs1541]

Very Aphex Twin

[@bayleeovalle5873]

Look up band CHEW! I saw their guitarist doing this same thing and was inspired to purchase a 404A for myself!
