Sampling and making a beat on the SP-404A | "Barren Soul"

[@michaelseanbeats1777]

The possibilities are endless with a synth/ipad and 404. Tight beat!

[@baaboo05]

Who could thumbs down on anybody being creative, showing how a machine works, and coming up with a dope beat! Some of you humans are such a waste!!!

[@Da-Medz]

Bo Hicks Thanks for the love, my guy. I appreciate the words of encouragement. Creators don’t always get this type of love, and I really appreciate you taking the time to show your support. Mad respect 👊

[@GoonieBushcraft]

Had my SP a while now, about 6 months. This was the first proper SP404 'A' vid, in my opinion, that i came across. Very well produced, got me inspired : ) And now 6 months later, i still come back to this vid for a little inspiration, Thanks for making it man! Cheers, Jay

@Koa Jerome I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@davidscott2095]

Awesome!

[@culturemax234]

Very nice video thanks for the tutorial that beat is fire 🔥

[@dopesnare]

Sweet workflow bro. I'm thinking about pairing up Reason with SP-404 as well. Of course I need a SP first lol ipad n sp is genious. Good stuff.Very creative.

[@JL-Breaks]

Yes this was super helpful with getting me to understand chopping on this thing.

[@Da-Medz]

Jessica Beland I’m glad you found practical info out of this video, thanks for tuning in. 🙏🙏🙏

[@crudomedia6538]

Puro fuego, fire fire!!🔥

[@CmndaPnda]

Nice! Nice and chill. Those shaker bells really finish it off!

[@buckbumble]

Do I need a laptop or desktop computer to operate this?

[@Da-Medz]

buckbumble Not at all, It’s a stand-alone sampler. The only reason you’d want to connect a phone or computer into the input line would be to record/sample into it. Otherwise you can use the onboard microphone, or pre-load an SD card with all your sounds. Then you’re all set, no need to be tethered to a computer. You don’t even need to be connected to a power cord, the SP can be battery powered.

LoFi Peeps in the building. Dope ass Beat 👍🏽

[@Da-Medz]

BeatzPocket Thanks for the feedback, my guy. I checked out your page, you’re doing awesome stuff with that OP-1 yourself. You make it look so easy. 👍👊

[@KayJonesus]

There is alot of buzz/hum on the rca line outputs as you navigate different features which I’m sure shows in recorded audio to a daw

[@drk_fi]

illmatic!

[@ElanBrio]

Good vibe good job

[@johnchesters81]

One of the best SP composition videos out there. Hope you have more planned!

[@Da-Medz]

I appreciate the love, man. I'm still learning my way around this machine. Still trying to figure my workflow with it. Thanks for your feedback, its much appreciatd. 🙏🙏🙏

오인준 [SHIFT+PAD4] then twist CTRL3/MFX knob till the display reads -1- then press [REC]. Now you’re ready to record. Thanks for watching, my dude. Thanks for the love. 👊

[@jackboys3999]

[@kamakat8295]

Nice vid. In the end, were you playing back patterns? Or did you find a way to resample the patterns you made into individual pads?

[@headfullofsnow2001]

Hey man nice beat, How is the vinyl sim sounding on a 404? I love the sound of the SX but thinking about getting an A

[@rogueplanet1142]

The Vinyl Sim sucks ass on the SX and the 404-A -You need to have the 404 O.G. model which has the best Vinyl Sim fx of the 3 machines.

[@RemyGold]

Nice work man...very dope

[@Da-Medz]

Remy Gold thanks for the feedback, my dude 🙏 ...... That track you made on the Digitakt bangs 👌💪

[@RemyGold]

Thanks man just subbed you...looking fwd to your future vids...keep em coming bro!!!

[@shawnjemal8422]

Is there a wave converter for the 404A ?... I cant delete factory samples on memory card can u help?

[@Da-Medz]

Shawn Jemal what’s good, my guy. I use the wave converter designed for the 404sx (available on the Roland “update drivers” website) when I want to bounce shit from or onto the 404A. It’s the same shit, dawg.

[@Da-Medz]

Shawn Jemal I formatted my SD Card to get rid of the factory samples. Hold [CANCEL], then press [REMAIN]. Then press [C/G] when the display says “fmt”. [DEL] will begin to flash, press that shit. Done.

[@tylowe78]

Cool beat..

[@Kolegate]

Heavy beat man, don't hurt'em!!! lol.

[@Da-Medz]

Nobody Should I take it easy on 'em? 😂 .... thanks for the feedback, it's much appreciated. 🙏

[@senhorlampada]

Hey mate! How did you go about mixing after laying the pattern? Trying to find something on this but got lost... lol :D Cheers, man! Subscribed... awesome channel you have there

[@senhorlampada]

Ooh... never mind! I guess I figured it out (on my mind. my sp-404 is at home and i'm working ha! :D) For anyone else who might wonder this, after creating the pattern, you can select each sample and then apply FX and edit the level. Wouldn't be possible if you resampled instead of sequencing the pattern :P

[@Da-Medz]

Matheus Barros Thanks for the Subscribe, my guy. 🙏

[@Da-Medz]

Matheus Barros Another thing I do is select a pad and press [Start/End/Level] button. That will allow you to set the volume level for that pad by turning the CTRL 3/MFX knob.

[@senhorlampada]

Great... thanks for the tips! Have this for years, but barely got any juice. Lately i've been practicing more ;)

[@uniquebeatsboutique]

hi were your drums preset?

[@trevortisdale253]

what cord can i use to connect my iphone to my sp 404

[@Da-Medz]

Trevor Tisdale I use the RCA to 3.5mm cable to connect the old iPad. But, if you have one of the latest iPhone models, you might need a different cable (because of the lightning connector).

[@trevortisdale253]

@@Da-Medz Thanks so much!

[@infernonine]

You can still use the rca to 3.5 if you have the Apple 3.5 to lightning dongle that came with the older lightning iPhones the like 10 bucks if you don’t

[@solaryzer]

Cool track .
