Thanks for the machine Japan. I just ordered one from over there and it was marked ship today.

My Favourite DAW is now purely my SP404 and Tascam DR-05 recorder. Staying out of software has been the best move I've ever made. It might just be the way my brain works but, too many choices and ways to do things seems to be counter-productive for me. I have an MPC Studio Black that just sits in the drawer these days. Thank you for pushing such great content! You keep me motivated and your outside the box thinking is refreshing!

[@Verysickbeats]

thanks for the request

[@joybeats2425]

i started with FL Studio budding fresh learning how to sample vinyl and finger drum on the fpc (remember when it was Fruity Loops ;P) but somehow after the gritty foundation moved on and had a love affair with Ableton where basic fundamental of mixing mastering was honed. Then realized after amany years creativity and joy of beatmaking was killed as i got too much into the details of music production but all in love is fair as now im happily back wit and at it in FL Studio 20 loving the gift making music whatever it entails more than ever. SP404 been wit me throughout the journey but kept getting interrupted by production due to the difficulty of solely relying on it just to mix. but now it don't matter any more. this video and your love for making music has helped get out of the rut of detail & has given me that push to use the SP404 to play to someone. thank you brother!

[@Verysickbeats]

my pleasure

[@WuWei_94]

Dope video! If you think abouy it, arranging is more or less like dubbing in reggae. Like thats where the arrangement comes from. If you listen to a King Tubby track its pretty much like a hip hop beat: atmospheric instruments, hard bass and drums, and bringing certain sections in n out with delays. And that was in the 70s! His artform has just become popular now.

[@Verysickbeats]

thanks for sharing

[@robbalbrecht]

Sweet. Great reminder to start simple.

[@Verysickbeats]

[@LiftedNoise]

I'm interested in getting a 404sx/A but a question I can't seem to find an answer from watching videos, can i save samples and patterns as a project and have different samples/patterns on my pad banks per project?

[@Verysickbeats]

not like the MPC but you can save patterns and samples. unfortunately patterns won't keep the same tempo if you adjust them for each beat.

[@LiftedNoise]

@@Verysickbeats cool thank You for the reply!

[@chuytheleast6468]

Verysickbeats What do you mean adjust them? Why not?

[@LiftedNoise]

@@chuytheleast6468 I assume this is one of the reasons why many SP 404 users resample there sequences because there is no individual sequence tempo, just a master tempo for all sequences. My best guess. I don't own a 404 yet.

[@Offsure]

The video was helpful. I like the idea of even using the intro as a bridge. Thanks for making the video steady with the info but smoothe enough for a intermediate level person to grasp.

Is it possible to send metronome from Roland sp-404sx only to a headphones output? For example if i would like to play with a drummer and to send him the metronome while on main output there's only sample?

[@antoniocapelo3103]

Thanks for the video! How do you usually deal with the 'single bpm' of the SP? I'm talking about the pattern sequencer can only remember the last bpm used, which messes up other patterns that were built with a different BPM. This is the thing that makes me always return to the resampling method...which has its own downfalls

[@Verysickbeats]

unfortunately thats one of the flaws, but i still prefer the pattern method over resampling when it comes to sequencing

[@antoniocapelo3103]

yeah I tend to oscillate between those two. Thanks for this video and all the other ones! I've bought your piano lessons for 25 hip-hop classics and can't wait to get to it! Cheers

I love my MPC live, the 2000xl has a special place in my heart though. I am now looking for a good sampler, I like how the boss sp303 sounds, and am gonna try and pick one up, but the Roland sp404 is also an option. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for the great content!

[@Verysickbeats]

my suggestion is to master the MPC live b4 adding anything else but thats just me...if u must i'd say get the 303 if sound is what you're after

[@stillmaticz847]

Verysickbeats thanks for the feedback! And thanks for the great content, glad I found your channel! I’m pretty versed in the mpc, but not a master quite yet! Getting there, I was thinking I started way back with the mpc 1000 about 10 years ago, upgraded to the mpc live and I learn new things nearly everyday. I think the reason I’m all amped on the 303 is definitely grittier sounds and fluidity in my arrangements. But nevertheless it’s been a long process, and there’s a lot more for me to learn. I’ll keep tuning in, and gaining more knowledge. Thanks again for the advice! Stay blessed!

[@linospaghi4265]

can you sequence patterns with 16 bars? only doing 8 here by pattern, iguess you can make two for two pads, but way easier if there is a 16bars option

[@Verysickbeats]

yes

[@rosslmccallum]

It goes up to 99 right? I might be wrong.

The Boss-n-Roland samplers are simple-n-fun. Basic looping-n-chopping samples. Effects you can experiment with. I can say for me myself -n-I these are the best samplers for a beginner.
