Yeah, or a high pass filter if that’s what you’re going for! For this video the goal was do everything with the sample, so doing the opposite and using isolator to bring out the bass present in the sample worked best.
Well done on creating variation on the arrangement, man. That chromatic mode rhodes line was a GREAT touch. I know it's cliche to say this, but this is definitely reminiscent of the Nujabes/Fat Jon Samurai Champloo era sound. Also, I'm a huge Aphex Twin, Autechre, etc. fan too. Dope to hear mention of Aphex Twin haha.
Thanks my friend! I'm pretty stoked with how this one turned out, and all the substeps on the snare really gave some "human" vibes to those sample loops. Definitely going to be sampling more vinyl on the channel and giving the samples to members here. I absolutely love Aphex, BoC, Autechre etc. BoC are the reason I went down the sampling rabbit hole in the first place
If you’re looking to make the most of the SP404 and get your head around its workflow, this quick start guide can help: www.sunwarper.com/product-page/sp404-mk2-beatmaking-live-sets-cheat-sheet This was my first time flipping vinyl and I don't know why it took me so long to try it! For this first session, I wanted to focus on using only the vinyl and the SP to make the beat, but in the future I plan to incorporate more live instruments and dawless gear on top of the samples.

I don't own an MPC so I can't speak from experience, but the MPC from all the videos I've seen (the One and Live II) are much closer to a DAW with the screen workflow, per track fx and piano roll. So in a sense I would say the MPC is more menu dive-y due to the more "control" over each piece of a track. SP is much quicker but simpler workflow. A way to get some of the MPC workflow into the SP is to use Koala Sampler (a phone app) with the piano roll & bus fx update. Flip the samples in Koala and then resample into the SP This is how I do it: ruclips.net/video/fWRo9R8LaNs/видео.html

One of the limitations of TR Rec Mode for sure (and one I struggled with in this beat during the original livestream). While I don't believe you can see the parameters, if you hold down the specific step you can change the parameters by moving their respective knobs.
Nice vid man! I just discovered your channel. Got my mk2 last week and im currently devouring every tutorials out there. I have one question and im sure you know the answer; Is it possible to copy a sequence from one pattern to another without overwriting it? I.E. i have 4 patterns witht he same drum loop, then i change the drum sequence and i want to copy the new sequence to my other pattterns. Hope this make sense. Sorry my english is not perfect. Peace!
Thanks for watching and congrats on the new SP! Just to make sure I'm understanding your question, are you trying to copy a specific "track" from the sequence, like copy the drums to a new pattern without also copying the other parts? If that's the case, I do it in the video, when you select the pattern after hitting copy, hit remain and choose the pads you want to move to the new pattern. If you're trying to replace a track in one pattern with something from another... I'm actually not sure if you're able to do that, I'll look into it.
@@sunwarper Thanks for the reply! Actually i want to copy part of a pattern to another existing pattern without overwriting it. For exemple let say you have 4 different patterns and you decide to change your drums on one of them, and then copy the new drum loop to the 3 other pattern.
Interesting question, it would be a very cool function! The only way I can imagine doing something like that is to: 1. Copy the parts of the existing patterns that you want to new patterns like Sunwarper explained 2. Resample those patterns to pads in sample mode 3. Then resample those at the same time 4. Now they are merged as 1 sample on a single pad
@@mischa010 Thank you for your input. Im pretty much new to standalone samplers so im trying to figure out the workflow. I've been using MPC beats and i would simply copy the new midi notes from one sequence to another sequence. I could create 4 different sequences without drums, then make a drum loop on one of them and then just copy it to other sequences. Sorry its a bit confusing because its called "sequences" in MPC Beats and "patterns" in the mk2. But the idea its just to copy/merge loops from one pattern/sequences to another one. Resampling is a good workaround but is also destructive. Hope this make more sense! Thanks guys
@@humansrstupid8007 I’m a MPC user as well, so I understand what you’re saying. A part of the sp404 is that sometimes things you record are definite (or “destructive”). The good thing about my workaround is that after the resampling you will still have the original samples. If you don’t like the merged version, you can always merge two other resampled patterns.
You can use Isolator to exclude certain frequencies when sampling in too the SP 404. You can remove the base if you want to add your own base.

Do you think you menu dive more on 404 or mpc standalone?

@@sunwarper thanks for the well thought out response!
Thanks for the content man!! What type of jazz is the sample you used? It sounds really nice

Hi there, is there a way to know what are the parameters of a notes i already sequenced? I.e. the velocity, pitch or offset?
Sadly I think it's only from your memory
One of the limitations of TR Rec Mode for sure (and one I struggled with in this beat during the original livestream). While I don't believe you can see the parameters, if you hold down the specific step you can change the parameters by moving their respective knobs.
@@sunwarper thanks guys. The sp is such a great machine but it has so many flaws. Its sad. Roland should take notes.
You can do some of that. Search the PDF manual for "microscope".
@@Hakucho64 yes now we can since the 4.02 update.
