If you press the resample button while you are setting your start or end points it will snap to the nearest zero cross point to minimize any clicks. Saves a little time vs adjusting it with the envelope mode.
That is useful! And to help new users to understand, If a loop starts or stops in the middle of a wave form, your speakers will make a pop sound due to their physical movement. So it is best to make a cut when the wavepoint is neutral.
Re: SDHC cards less than 32GB are the only ones that will work when updating. With the new update you can use SDXC up to 1TB. Thanks for the video it was really helpful!
You are a terrific teacher man. I remember watching your MPC videos a few years back, and now as a new owner of the 404mkii I'm here listening again. You have a knack of taking concepts and breaking them down and then, a few minutes later you always manage to repeat the idea again so that if someone missed it the first time, you almost always touch on it again to drive the point home. That's a skill as a tutor/teacher. Thanks for these videos, incredibly useful and fun to work alongside.
Thanks alot, this is really the only video i needed to see, you actually hit everything you come across when sampling, truncating, performance chopping, one shot mode, choke groups.
I just got my 404 after 5 months on preorder... and I have been watching a ton of videos, but this one RIGHT HERE SON... This is what I was looking for... big ups
Hey Ricardo, man I’m sorry to hear that it took so long for you to receive it. Also congratulations on your new sampler I’m sure you’re going to fall in love with it. It’s been such a fun device for me. Blessings and thank you so much for the feedback
Just got mine. Coming from Maschine mk3 but I’m rusty.lol. Been out the game for a minute. This video right here is gonna put me where I need to be. Can’t be explained any better. I subscribed to the channel. Amazing tutorial. Great way of explaining.
Really good video, thanks for taking the time to go through this. I'm a complete newbie to this kind of thing and I've just got a 404 mk2. I've been interested in this type of thing for years but never tried it. I've seen the 404 being used for years and always liked the results people get once they've taken the time to learn the machine so I'm giving it a go.
Hey brother, I highly appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and I’m excited for you hopefully you get yours very soon. I got some new cons in coming out on the next few weeks with this machine as it’s been very fun to use
Yo Donnie, I really appreciate you dropping by and sharing this feedback and also congrats on the new 404. I know you’re gonna love it, I’ve been hooked on that 404 these past few days so I’ll be uploading some more content with this very soon brother. Much love to you and blessings.
Thanks bro I’ve been on the MPC for 2 years now so learning this is gonna be fun foreal😂😂 do you have any videos on how to lay down drums and adding that sample?
Hey brother, thank you so much for taking the time and watching the video and also sharing your feedback it really means a lot coming from you. Blessings to you brother 🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@malobeats Anytime, man! I appreciate the effort you put in your work. Your videos and the quality have grown so much and your beats are getting better and better at the same time! The only "con" would be the amount of "G.A.S." that you bring out of me but that' s on me, bro! Stick with your guns should be the motto 😎! I ordered the SP to sample/resample between Maschine MK3 and the SP, so to use it primarly as an effects box. Hopefully the routing will be possible to do how I imagine 🤞
I would love to see something about the MkII's song mode if you feel like putting a video out on it. I have an OG 404 a friend gave me years ago, but I never really vibed with it because it doesn't have a full sequencer like an MPC. I've seen that the new ones have a song mode, but some people say it isn't really fleshed out enough. I'd love to hear your opinion on it
WOW thank you man. You’re an awesome educator. You explain clearly what you’re doing and in this 20 mins as a sp404 nube i learnt more that umpteen other ‘how to’s’ done with lightening speed muscle memory workflow style thats impossible to follow. Ya got a new subscriber dude😘😘
I know this video may be a year old it’s still educational and inspirational! I d like to know what are the devices you have in your studio on your desk displayed in this video if you don’t mind me asking
Thanks for this video! I recently got this thinking I would just be able to sample my Modular quickly and be able to build a sample library on the fly, BUT I almost gave up on this box. This is the best video on this topic I have found so far! Concise!! I hope you do more videos on this piece of gear.
I appreciate you dropping by brother, it’s a bummer they have these on back order still but hopefully they will to get them back in stock sometime soon.
Hey brother, thank you so much for dropping by with this request as I am working on a video going over the pattern sequencer as we speak this comment really helps me out to tailor the video a little better. When you mention on how to extract to the computer, are you talking about on stemming out your beats into your DAW for mixing?
@@malobeats Well I'm not sure about him, but yeah I would like to see a demo on that Lol. I have Ableton but I'm sure the process would b similar across the board.
Strongly considering picking up a 404 and have been checking out your videos. Have a lot of experience with the Digitakt but none with the 404. Feel like I already know a little bit about its workflow from checking out what you've put out there. Thanks and keep it up!
Hey John, I appreciate you taking the time and sharing this feedback with me and I also had the Digitakt at a point but honestly these samplers are all great in their own way just a complete different workflow. I personally feel like the 404 has a little more to offer when it comes down to it sequencer versus the Digitakt but like I said everybody has a preference with their sampling workflow
@@malobeats I think actually sampling seems more well served on the 404 from what I’m seeing. I mean, I’ve recorded sounds to my Digitakt but ended up just tweaking them and using them as one shots. I know you can do the chopping on it as well, but seems way different. I think I’d use them as two entirely different things that could compliment each other.
Thanks Bro, very clear and concise walk through. I’m really considering getting one but wanted to understand the workflow first. This helped immensely. Will watch your other vids as well.
I wished I found your channel first ! You explained and demonstrated this so clearly and well it helped with my understanding! Do you have a resampling tute for the 404 on your channel? Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this video tute!😊
hey there! Can you make a video on how to record it ? Like how you did at the end where the sample is playing and you can actually do a live performance of it. Would be really appreciated!
Hey brother, thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to check out the video and sharing your feedback. I’m glad it was helpful. Much love and blessings to you
Something that would really make the device more fun and spontaneous is if I could set the velocity I hit the pad with to trigger mark points. I miss this from my old sampler. I could set the velocity to volume, sample start points, filter and more
Hey brother, thank you so much for these words of encouragement you have no idea how much it means. I have not announced it yet but I am working on a course for the MPC and really would want to do one for the SP404 down the road as well I’ll be releasing more information about this later but I really appreciate you bringing this up as he gives me feedback. Blessings to you brother
Really helpful vid, thank you. When you changed the pitch of all your chops (last thing in the video), wouldn't that also have changed their BPM, are you showed earlier in the video, or did it time-stretch them?
Is there a way to fix the scroll wheel to be more precise. Mine sometimes feel kind of loose. I’m not sure if it only me or my Roland came with this defect.
Hahahah I know what you mean, well if you do get this along with the MPC I’m sure you’re gonna have a lot of fun. This this thing is an amazing companion to the MPC.
How do I actually incorporate the 404 with the mpc? I have the mpc x and was wondering what benefit this would give me if I put the two together. And how I would actually connect the 2
Hey Malo! This is my go to video for sp help, thanks so much for the amazing work. How do you organize your SD card btw? Could you make a video on how you organize your sound library digitally? I'm having a real hard time with that as someone who's library is based in Maschine
Yo Malo. I got an MPC Live and SP404 SX. I found your video when I was thinking about whether or not it'd be worth it to buy an SP404 MK2. I see you're not really using this combo anymore in your recent videos. Do you think this is still worth it?

Re: SDHC cards less than 32GB are the only ones that will work when updating. With the new update you can use SDXC up to 1TB. Thanks for the video it was really helpful!
I guess that depends on the version, you're upgrading from. I successfully upgraded from 3.x to 4.x with a 64 Gb card.
This is definitely one of the best 404 mk2 tutorials i've seen.
You are a terrific teacher man. I remember watching your MPC videos a few years back, and now as a new owner of the 404mkii I'm here listening again.

I second that- he brings it back around full circle at some points.
same here !! except it’s been within a year of first finding his page and now having my sp!!
Hey you
I got my SP404 today and your videos are helping me a lot. Thanks and greetings from Cologne Germany
Thanks alot, this is really the only video i needed to see, you actually hit everything you come across when sampling, truncating, performance chopping, one shot mode, choke groups.

getting my loops in time has been a missing piece for me as a newbie to samplers. thanks for explaining so well!
Excellent video man! Love the C/H workflow, gonna steal that!
Your videos are really instructive and easy to follow along with, thanks so much! 👍
You're very welcome!
Just copped an SP, very helpful video bredren. Thank you.
Very good video. Now you’re on my list! Still waiting for my unit to show up. Just getting used to the concepts. This will be my first sampler!
Hey brother, I highly appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and I’m excited for you hopefully you get yours very soon. I got some new cons in coming out on the next few weeks with this machine as it’s been very fun to use
Content*
Thank you for this Tutorial! I didn't know about all those little shortcuts you can make. it makes sampling and chopping so much more organic!
Yo thank you so much for being very detailed, and walking us step by step. A lot of SP 404 videos don't show this. Subscribed.
Jus got my MK2 and man this video was what I needed 😮💨😮💨😮💨 thanks bro🤞🏿🤲🏿

I appreciate you putting this vid together. I'm sure ill revisit this one if i ever get my 404...
Thank you Richard, yes I hope they can ship these out soon because I know a lot of other people have theirs on back order
Definitely going to be my next purchase! They are on back order till like March. Great video bro!
I appreciate you dropping by brother, it’s a bummer they have these on back order still but hopefully they will to get them back in stock sometime soon.

Great video, Malo. An outstanding accompaniment to the MPC One or Maschine MK3. Thank You for the outstanding content. Blessings!
great tutorial. one question: why did you change the sample BPM? wouldnt that defeat the purpose of the bpm sync button

hey there! Can you make a video on how to record it ? Like how you did at the end where the sample is playing and you can actually do a live performance of it. Would be really appreciated!
Thanks for the tutorial. Is there anyway I can adjust the tempo without affecting the pitch of sample or vice versa?
best tutorial so far for me👍
Amazingly clear description, thank you.
Great video and even better tips 🙌🏼Thank you and just keep going like this 👌🏼
Thank you for the feedback, It really means a lot
You really know this device!
Man, thanks for making this. It’s such a great explanation of sampling on the new 404.
Great video! Have you tried “END SNAP” just wondering if this feature would help to record a perfect loop.
Hey mojo, That’s a great observation I have not tried doing that but would definitely try it out next time I’m sampling and let you know.
@@malobeats l don’t have mine yet that would be helpful, thanks.
Great video, gets me even more excited to get my 404 when it finally ships!
Nice! Was that a Meiko Kaji record?
Very nice - thank you for this tutorial !

Love the video 💯 you know your stuff my mann 💪
I appreciate your kind words thank you for taking the time and watching the video
I'll be trying once I actually get mine!
I’m really hoping they can ship this out soon since I know a lot of people are also on back order
Something that would really make the device more fun and spontaneous is if I could set the velocity I hit the pad with to trigger mark points. I miss this from my old sampler. I could set the velocity to volume, sample start points, filter and more
My friend can You make a tutorial with both mpc one and sp404 Mk2
thank you so much for this video. you helped me out a lot.
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Dope. Didn't know about the bpm sync option
I really been enjoying it on this machine and has been really easy and fast to use
Dude you should make a course you are a good teacher
Hey brother, thank you so much for these words of encouragement you have no idea how much it means.

Best Damn tutorial out on making a beat 👊🏾 on this
This video was awesome man thank you ❤❤
You are awesome. Thank you Malo
Super great video! Thanks a lot! Your tutorials are the best! Congratulations 👏
This means a lot, I really appreciate your support . Blessings to you 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Is there some sort of tuner to detect the key of samples on board the 404?
how do you select "zero crossings" in the sample start and end points?
Clear as a bell 🛎️, thanks for sharing.
Hey. This is helping me a lot. Thanks!
I highly appreciate you for taking the time and sharing this feedback with me 🫡. I’m glad this was helpful
do you have a link to the full beat or sample in the video ?
Is there a way to fix the scroll wheel to be more precise. Mine sometimes feel kind of loose. I’m not sure if it only me or my Roland came with this defect.
Seeing this video like "this Wil be a great addition t my MPC live II" even though I'm still going through the MPC Bible
Hahahah I know what you mean, well if you do get this along with the MPC I’m sure you’re gonna have a lot of fun. This this thing is an amazing companion to the MPC.
Thanks for making this video, very informative !
When I want to adjust FX how to I get off pitch screen to Fx control screen? I keep having to turn off Fx by touching to access parameters. Thanks
EXCELLENT VIDEO!
Thank you so much I was just listening to some of your videos and you have such an amazing voice. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Does the MPC LIve II also have the BPM sync feature or do you have to tune everytime you change the BPM?
How do I actually incorporate the 404 with the mpc? I have the mpc x and was wondering what benefit this would give me if I put the two together. And how I would actually connect the 2
Hey Malo! This is my go to video for sp help, thanks so much for the amazing work. How do you organize your SD card btw? Could you make a video on how you organize your sound library digitally? I'm having a real hard time with that as someone who's library is based in Maschine
So there is no way to upload whole sample pack banks all at once, you can only import one sound into each bank at a time?
Yo Malo. I got an MPC Live and SP404 SX. I found your video when I was thinking about whether or not it'd be worth it to buy an SP404 MK2. I see you're not really using this combo anymore in your recent videos. Do you think this is still worth it?
