What a game changer... It continues to impress me how flexible this device is.

Yerp, if you think of something there’s usually a way…a creative way…to get from A to B 🤣

BroOOo0o, Thankyou, this is gonna a save me soooo much editing time!!!!!

[@Nonjuror]

Cheers! 🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@sailortomb9307]

Excellent tip, any time-saver that helps the ideas flow is great. Thanks for making these videos! Knowing how to use the.. I dunno... creative modes? the SP has like realtime, pattern and DJ really emphasizes that it is a discrete instrument that you play by applying experience and intent. I know it comes close to being a 'groovebox' and technically it is a sampler, but when people ask me what it is I like to tell them it's an instrument that processes audio. Couldn't have learned it if it wasn't for vids like these

[@Nonjuror]

Thanks man! Agreed. It feels like an instrument to me, absolutely. I learned how to play all my triads and arpeggios in chromatic mode too…Cheers! 🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@djaffbolik]

Thanks bro ! 💯👍🏽🔥🔥🔥

[@Nonjuror]

Cheeeeeers! 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@petes6817]

This is nice man. One of those I'm going to have to watch a few times to remember the steps. Good to see you posting boss level content again 👊

[@Nonjuror]

Thanks heaps mate, appreciate you watching, getting used to playing the pattern then pressing REC took a minute to feel “normal”…cheers! 🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@hayatefaith4273]

Mightve just changed my life here. The last thing bumming me about the sp was not being able to do this. Damn

This one issue was one of the reasons I hated the sp thanks so much for this you are a massive time saver lol. No more having to go to tr rec every 2 seconds cause I cant get shit where I want it.

GREAT TIP!!! This is clutch editing on the fly.

I thought everybody knew this already. Good job keeping the community informed

[@Nonjuror]

It’s a weird thing I didn’t think it could do for a while coz you gotta kinda backdoor it, hopefully one day they’ll make it so to can approach it from the front door where you can change quantize type n all that pre-record stuff…

[@JACKSTAY]

I stumbled on this the other day by accident and was blown away lol

[@joefather6084]

Loved the video! Please teach us how to speed up our workflow Wally West style next

Some Prof Zoom tutorials on them Eobard Thawne type beats 🤣🤣

[@pheonix72]

Nice! Have you updated to 4.05 yet? Irons out some nasty bugs.

[@Nonjuror]

Yeah man, so far it’s been smooth sailing!

[@BrancoArgenta]

Cool I wish they had a fuse/merge pattern kind of feature

[@Nonjuror]

Lick stacking them up or attaching end to end, I think both would be dope af

[@BrancoArgenta]

@@Nonjuror both

[@BrancoArgenta]

@@Nonjuror that for me is the only feature Ieft, ah and just a silly basic Ducker effect

[@petarpanonski]

​ @BrancoArgenta Coming from electronic music scene, it is so fucking frustrating to see 90 BPM figure on the screen all the time. Even if switching BPM detect off. Would be great to see 140 BMP samples as 140's not 70! Just to be able to tap BPM in INPUT SETTING and fine tune it, then make it your MASTER BPM clock would change everything in live sampling loops in a set. And to be able to do the same thing in LOOPER mode. Defalut BPM recording and importing settings are such a time consumer in my area of music taste. Imagine to tap BPM in input settings for EXT. SOURCE, fine tune it if it needs it, and press REC. You got a perfect loop every time in few sec. already playing as a sample, assigned to pad ready to be messed with!!! HEAVEN!!! Can someone someone also explain ENVELOPE MODES ( A-C2) in SOUND GENERATOR?!?! Thanks to al 404 SPamurais out there! Such an amazing (sometimes annoyingly amazing), little sound calculator.

[@Kuronoichig01]

Wow very useful!

I've been having mad fun since the update. Little gems like this also push the community forward 👏🏽 Cheers!

[@Nonjuror]

@Kuronoichig01 v4.05 is dope af, I’ve been really digging into all the upgrades to TR-REC mode, they leveled that up

[@Kuronoichig01]

Hell yeah, now they only need a COPY NOTE func in TR-REC 😅

[@Nonjuror]

@Kuronoichig01 oh I like that, fck yes.

What's up with the J Dilla video my man? I saved the link yesterday to watch it this morning and it says it's unavailable now. Hope KZbin is not playing tricks on you bro. Take care.

Nah this one is my bad…I made a pretty bad fck up in the video, I’m currently remaking it, will be up again soon!
