I'm lost after 2 minutes.

The SP was never meant to be a "beat making" device. It was meant to be a sampler used by DJs as an FX module and one shot trigger machine. Sure you can make beats on it, but you can also mow a lawn with a weed wacker. The original creators never intended for users to produce "complex" so gs with it, but humans are amazing so they did it anyway. The MKII tries to be a baby mpc, but it's held back by its original ethos. If you wnt to be 404 wizard jnock yourself out, if you want to just make music, get an actual sequencer.

The mk2 is actually a techno brick.

Soo nice!

the sp-404 has a dj modeee?????

This is definitely not for beginners lol

This mix is unbelievable

Dope

Dude, not to nitpick here but it would have only taken 5 seconds to show how you wired your S-1 to the back (or front) of the Mk II. And at what point did you tell us to press the "EXT SOURCE" button?

A dude talking about the mk2 and not hawking bullshit immediately? Very respectable.

Man I wish you covered ableton

it's now a looper! Which really just proves your point that it's for performance.

Nice !

Ultra nice.

Krakatoa lawn mower - that's hotter than a fire in a tumble dryer - well played that man !

fuckin bus fx!

Is the track navigation decent in the browser? Any way to search through folders to find the track in the sp?

i haven't yet purchased my mk 2 but the dj mode now is really tipping the scale. How long is it theoretically possible to make a setlist? is it limited to the pads? or is it throughout the banks if you really wanted to load an SD for a mix or something?

Bro wtf

Great tutorial thanks - mine should arrive very soon and i'm looking forward to making some beats - this thing is hotter than a fire in a tumble dryer !

for $10 Koala Sampler is a better beat machine than any of these. And no matter how much you get away from using a DAW, you’re just handicapping your creativity

Nice tutorial vid mate. This might be a stupid question, but how can I tell what software update my SP hardware is on? I got an Sp404k2 secondhand, so I have the hardware, but don't know what version it's on, and don't have the manual or anything so RUclips is my only resource. looking forward to getting into some nice jazzy chops ;)

Amazing!!🎉🎉🎉❤

Finally, someone using the thing

Thank you for this video! I just got my mk2 and have been trying all day to get the audio out into reason 11 😂. Seems like reason is always the work around software. But I agree 💯 you can’t beat the sounds that come out of reason.

Has the inability to live record new layers been fixed? Can it jam record external sounds now? I heard the skip back can be set to external input but haven't figured out the settings.

I sold mine and for some reason really miss it even though it didn't fit my workflow. Which is something I've never had in 25 years of producing music on countless bits of audio gear and DAWs. Maybe I should buy another. I also have an MPC one.

Thanks this was great!

...and now they added synth engines to add to the confusion....

you’re dope!!! you’re transitions are so on point with the SP

My I'm learning to pure hate happened when I realized everything about this thing is to sell you something else and I can't load a sample directly to my pc.

Thank you for explaining the cue button, I was pressing it over and over wondering why it didn’t cue up like a CDJ, did not make the connection that it was for the headphones lmao

LOL, sure this will help later, showed me how to start a new project then went on to use external gear.....WTF?

How can you use the sp404 syncing with your cdj players? Manually or through midi?

Thanks for your explaination. I’m looking to add a sampler to my DJ setup

I would love to have a sampler, but any I’ve tried, I couldn’t make heads or tails of them; I work a day job. I don’t want to use my daily 3 hours of freedom reading “War And Peace” for the next two years before I can use them. If they make one which isn’t all convoluted and is simple to approach, I’ll buy it.

Heavy stuff 🤘 That "yeah" at the end was golden 😂

Sounds good, very atmospheric, finally some non-boring house. Gonna check all your other stuff on soundcloud and follow (and repost, and add to public playlists, so keep 'em coming :) What did you use to make it? Gear, software (or dawless?), effects...

I use it as a sketchpad. I work in VFX and sound is my hobby, the last thing I want to do when I knock off is get back on a computer. I sit on the couch and just play around. I play guitar, so I record onto it, then go to the couch and fiddle. I use the sound generator a lot too. It does so many different things now, it kinda covers a lot of different things. I've never seen anyone really frustrated with it on a video before. I mostly watch tutorials though.

And a way I found to mix the samples is to use the isolation effect

I agree with almost everything you said except that it’s not a groove box it was not a groove box 8 months ago but they recently advanced sound generators to have it be able to be more of a groove box but I do agree if you want the full thing with editing midi notes you should just buy a MPC live 2 or MPC one if you want the DAWLESS gear

You should do a full video on this. Amazing skills 👍

The 404 Mk2 is almost like a PO-33 on steroids.

Amazing video, thank you so much

Thank you! I can see it’s a wonderful machine but I couldn’t make any sense of it. I kept leaving for a while and coming back to it. As sort of a sampling Kaosillator things start falling into place. Thanks again I needed this vid. 🎤📻

Nice. I upgraded to the TR-8s since it can at least sort of do sidechain, but I actually kept the 6s because other than the sidechain, I prefer the 6s, so I use the 6s as an instrument unto itself, no bass drum.

Lovely work on this T B !

Awesome stuff! Am struggling myself a bit here with the TR-6S - Maybe you can guide me. The thing is, I am just not sure if I should delete the preset patterns.

Lame.

Don't do multiple takes. Just sync with midi
