First. Hehe.

[@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked]

Here's the kicker, pun intended.

[@9NZ4]

Roland teaching us new ways to use their products? YES PLEASE. As an SP owner I’m thrilled. Thanks for the vid!

[@LiamKillen]

It's a pleasure! It was great having Dustin on

[@nikko444]

In the same boat with you bro!

[@Sporatic7659]

DUSTIN!!!! That's the homie!!! He used to work at Moog Audio in Toronto and he taught me so much about many different production techniques with many different gear over the years. Great to see he's out here teaching the world on all things Roland - I got to see him last week where he demoed his 404 and give a brief history lesson on the SP line over the years. Roland did it right by getting him on board in my books!

[@syntheticErik]

Being shown that you can set a sample to one shot mode on the device itself alone made this video worth watching, but there are a ton of cool tips here. Definitely picking up some ways to push the SP into new territory.

[@LiamKillen]

Yes! Love to hear this! And thx for watching

[@Hakucho64]

I knew HOW to enable one-shot mode, but not WHY. This video explains it beautifully! Please get this guy back on for more content!

[@LiamKillen]

I think you’ll find it really interesting!!

[@remyvegamedia]

@@LiamKillenYou're right. I did! The only thing that keeps us from being able to execute this entirely on the SP is that we can't set fixed length to samples. Well, technically, you can, but it's a little more finnicky with it. Very cool stuff. I had been using one shot mode but the mute group and pad mutes was revelation.

[@harveyfalla9101]

[@joroboro]

Such a stellar follow-up to your one-shot video of the SP404 - thank you for this! I've been using a similar workflow without the one-shot and this is a game changer. Feature request for the app: It would be great to be able to type in the bpm in the app; trying to get the slider just right by dragging it with a mouse gets old very quickly.

[@LiamKillen]

It’s my pleasure! Maybe Roland is reading this in regards to your request!

[@mojodrum3215]

We need a looper and que points that can loop this would make this machine a beast.

[@LiamKillen]

Maybe Roland is reading!

[@thomasamos4055]

Puzzling that the 202 looper could autoloop and quantise a tin can 15 years ago but the 404mk2 can't. I'm certain the high level of returns of this unit are djs buying it and finding out they can't do that

[@zemax0618]

​@@thomasamos4055but now you can 😄

[@Savvier]

this is very useful

[@LiamKillen]

Yeah Dustin is a beast. Thanks for watching :-)

[@adibanti]

This is a great video! Really shows the power of the instrument. Only thing that I can’t find on the manual is can you send different things out of the left and right output channel? In a live setup it’s very useful to send just your kick out of left for side chaining, or drums out of one output and music out of another depending on what ur going for.

[@adibanti]

I think it might work if you just do it the old skool way and just pan the individual samples hard left and hard right but is there a better way?

[@LiamKillen]

I’ve never tried this but panning hard L/R on your samples might be an option

[@LiamKillen]

Yeah exactly I think this is the way

[@beatvillainz]

Weapon of choice!

[@LiamKillen]

it's a good one! :-)

[@_Only_Zuul]

I think I have decided this the sampler I will buy. Price point and features can't be beat, also very affordable on used gear market. The only negative I can see is that this is not an easy sampler to learn and work with where others are more simple..

[@LiamKillen]

It’s an amazing choice indeed!

[@_Only_Zuul]

@LiamKillen Got it today and it's great! Im already making music on it and it's not that difficult to learn the controls..

[@Pyatnica12]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 thanks guys good stuff

[@LiamKillen]

Always a pleasure

[@nelsondcanal]

Very interesting... What if I wanted to switch from one track to another? Maybe with different BPM?

[@LiamKillen]

I'm not 100 % certain but i'm pretty sure that you can set different BPMs on different patterns within a bank.

[@Sammy-B]

All patterns in a bank follow the same tempo. You change one, the others automatically change too, in my experience.

[@OoraMusic]

loved this one!

[@LiamKillen]

Thx for watching Oora!

[@conradk]

This is awesome. I would only say it is disappointing to rely solely on one 2-bit display. The black plastic area below the display could have been a tempo and function indicator display. The black space above could have been a beat light green for play, red for record. Also the solid color knobs could have indicated intensity or level.

[@LiamKillen]

Yeah I get this take - I kind of like it though

[@adekoyote]

More content like this, please.

[@LiamKillen]

Already planning another 404 video

[@dylanmassey7748]

This might get me to buy an sp. I wonder if the one shot longer loop idea works when using an external sequencer such as digitone.

[@LiamKillen]

It should! I highly recommend the 404 mk2 !!

[@Iredidv]

So glad seeing someone using it for techno instead of boom bap & hip hop (nothing wrong with those genres, it’s just you don’t see that much vids of techno on sp404mk2) I doubted buying one for a looong time but I think I’m gonna get my credit card out 😂

[@LiamKillen]

Glad to be part of convincing you! Haha

[@HalfBakedBeats]

Nice tips. Thanks for sharing. Roland, if you're listening, please let us record fixed duration samples some day (ex: 1 bar, 2 bar, etc. as possible on the DT) Would make getting perfect loops into the SP a ton easier. :)

[@LiamKillen]

Hopefully they’re reading!

[@Sammy-B]

I think if the tempo is set correctly, and you have End Snap on, this will happen. But maybe it only snaps to the nearest beat after you press stop, so it might take some practise

[@yukiboy8457]

All we need is looper. Roland, please!

Liam !!! Please !!! We have to pass this feature request along to Roland !!! We need to be able to choose to resample both busses or just one … that way we can build tracks using resample method - drums on one bus - samples on the other and then we can mix them independent

This seems like it could be a good idea for me as I literally always get stuck in the loop in my Daw. I have loads of nice main parts of tracks but hardly any arrangements. This look fun.

@@LiamKillen Great!! Thanks a lot!!

[@thomasamos4055]

Well that is REALLY useful. How many SP videos have I watched which weren't as structured or useful as this? Ive had this sampler for months and never worked out how to use dual bus effects or how to record additional steps on an existing pattern.

[@LiamKillen]

Glad that this helps you out!

[@mackie32x4]

Interesting using the editor. Though its cool its kind of Maschine-esque. I did the same thing this week in Ableton but kept to the roots of the sampler by having its outgoing audio trigger the unit to sample. I have been doing this since the 808 EX days and I feel the incoming signal really gets the flavor of the unit through its input. The 404 definitely has a sound quality to it that is unique.

[@LiamKillen]

It is now a techno masking MACHIIIINE!

[@StuartMawdsley]

Ugh... this video essentially just cemented the regret I was teetering with regarding purchasing an mpc over the 404. I suppose I could always resell and have spare change for a couple more pieces of gear. 😂

[@LiamKillen]

I know the feeling

[@StuartMawdsley]

@LiamKillen it's the matter of workflow as well. With MPC, I'm locked in with their DAW and unless I have the Live or X I can't use ableton. This is the only flaw with the One+, otherwise its a cracking piece of gear. 🤙

[@embersandash]

Hey Roland - since you don’t take feature requests anymore and told me to make feature requests on social media here I go: MIDI CC editing on the TR8s and SP404mk2 so that we can use the 8s as a midi controller for the SP404mk2. Increases the value of both your machines without encroaching on any other device. You wouldn’t even need to enable this functionality on the machines themselves, just via the editor (like basic midi controllers). This update won’t take up any DSP or CPU headroom.

[@LiamKillen]

👀 👀

[@tom.m]

Yes! Please! MIDI implementation is definitely a weak point on the 404.

[@oscarjmg]

What I would actually love is to have the effects being controlled by the pads. Let’s asume I want to activate the effect of beat repeat just for a moment with 1/8 note repeat and activate it just pressing a pad like performance mode. Could be great to have performance effects on pads. As knobs are ok but for certain effects pads could do a better job. Liam, are you thinking on using the 404 again?

[@LiamKillen]

That would be cool! You can outsource your FX to a midi controller- that’s about as far as it’s gone for now. Here’s a video about how to set that up incase you’re interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHuxmnWMYrZmisUsi=v7zuJOwzLMzDFGnL

[@knusprigundfrisch]

That would be sooo cool. Pressure sensitive effects, kind of like the punch in FX on the PO 33/ EP 133

[@paulopalacin3337]

I am very tempted to buy a sp404 now 😩, but I am also thinking about MPC live II. Hard to decide.

[@LiamKillen]

Get the 404 !!

[@LiamKillen]

I have an MPC One- I use the 404 WAY more often

[@tomb6576]

I've got the MPC One and just got the 404 in the other day! It's a very different vibe but it has the "fun" factor I feel the MPC kinda lacks! That being said the MPC very much has a huge daw in a box feel! It's a straightforward powerhouse that'll do just about everything you need. The MPC is a great sequencer but the 404 is way more fun to sample and modulate audio with imo! Honestly if you're really torn, I think I'd still choose to get the 404 and the One with an external 19V battery, about the price of a Live, especially if you buy used!

[@tomb6576]

Then again I'm a die hard for the MC-101 so take my opinion with a grain of salt haha!

[@theAwakenedOne007]

great video man. I just bought my 404 at the beginning of January and it is also my first piece of music gear so it's been a challenge to get a smooth workflow. what software are y'all using on the laptop?

[@LiamKillen]

We're using Ableton as the DAW and the Roland 404 mk2 software which you can DL off of their website for free :-)

what happens with the loop samples and long one shots if you change the BPM of the sequence?

It does come with stock sounds! But it's really meant to be used as a sampler

[@Hakucho64]

The 4.04 update added a sound generator, it's effectively a simple synth. You can sample the sounds and assign them to pads.

[@9NZ4]

The most tricky part here is to get the right bpm, so the loops start evenly at the beginning of the bar. Would be really hard to do with unprepared loops.

For this sort of set up / approach, it would be best to have prepared loops with specified BPM

[@MXSTRAT]

It’s not that hard to do w unprepared loops

@@MXSTRAT I mean if you don’t match the loop BPM and the project BPM, the loop will just stop mid bar

Can you record a live performance like this demo as individual per pad tracks as audio into Logic? Or do you just export the performance as a whole track? Sorry if this is a proper newb question but I’ve never had my hands on a 404 so have no idea but this demo looks like an ideal option for me to get all my many finished loops arranged into actual tracks.

[@h-dawg969]

Hope that makes sense. For example I can record my drums from tr8s as individual audio tracks per part, so kick, hat, ride, clap etc come out as individual audio tracks rather than having one drums track. Can the same be done from the 16 pads of 404 for a jam like this?

[@LiamKillen]

You have to export us as a track unfortunately. This is one department that I think is sort of lacking with the SP 404 mk2 - and maybe they’ll enhance it with an update.

[@h-dawg969]

@@LiamKillen ah that’s a shame. What’s the learning curve on this beast for someone who’s never owned a proper sampler? I use Logic mainly, and own a bit of Hardware (Tr8s, JU06a, TB3) so I’m not a complete newb, butI am where samplers & sampling is involved as I’ve never used a sampler like this. I’ve been eyeing either a 404mk2 or an MpcOne as I think a hands on sampler could be fun, but I’m indecisive as I’ve never played about with one. It’d be dope to get some arrangements going from my many loops. Did u already have knowledge of samplers when you got your first 404? How was it to learn, and would you suggest getting an older 404 SX or one of the other ones first to get used to the work flow? Cheers man ;)

[@Sammy-B]

@@h-dawg969its a strange and quirky beast. Just when you think you've got it, it won't do what you want. Saying that, it CAN do what YOU want. You could record a pattern (anything from 1 bar to 64 bars) with a kick, snare, hats for example. Than you can copy and paste that pattern, but with only the kick. Then you can resample that pattern to a pad, and export that to a DAW. It's not my cup of tea, but it's definitely doable.

This is the crippling issue in the Digitakt and even more so the octatrack. Sample length needs to be babysat on the sequencer. Adding tons of overhead. Letting the samples run to their conclusion and just repeat without re-triggering is huge.

Yeah this is the best for that sort of workflow

I have just returned mine to the store.....Prefer the Maschine MK3

Yeah I get that - the pads on the MK3 are just the best in the game.
