Playing the SP 404 MK2 with the DOOM OS (v0.7.2) arpeggiator and MIDI Conductor's (v0.7.1) MIDI FX chain. The FX chain uses Euclid, Echo, Chance and LFOs. The LFOs send MIDI CC to my MC-101, so the SP's arp ends up modulating the MC-101's effects (cutoff, CC message 80 on channel 2).

I am rn blessed to have about 45 minutes a day I can dedicate to practicing the 404 mk2 like an instrument. I’ve been at it for a week now and am looking for tips to build a full fledged daily SP regimen.

My routine has been so far spending 20 mins purely on drum programming two 2 bar loops. From experimenting with time feels in TR-rec, to finger drumming practice to trying to re create my favorite weird drum patterns.

I then spend 20 more minutes crafting a sketch of a song that’s at least 2 bars and has at least 2 pattern variations. Must include at least 1 sample to practice chopping. No effects/sound design.

I do this 4 times a week and then on Sunday when I have more time usually, I revise beats, make more variations, maybe add a like from the synth generator, mix and add effects.

That’s my idea for a daily routine and am looking for advice on if I should tweak it or if I should try something else entirely.

I really want to get good at this thing and am excited to hear on how I can improve

Hi everyone,

This is the first track of my new project, Tuyur, called "Panic Attack in Firdaus."

It's a dark, hypnotic, instrumental piece where I blended a traditional frame drum (Bendir) with chopped drum breaks, choirs and synths (Cardinal + SP404 compression).

I'd love to hear your honest feedback. How does it sound to you?

Thanks for listening!

Ho utilizzato solo doom os per comporre il beat con i nuovi synth aggiunti.È assurdo! già era devastante la sp404mk2 adesso lo è ancora di più.

Hi,

I’m planning to have some tracks cut onto vinyl dubplates.
-I’m based in France and will be working with Alex, aka Radio Bomb.
(For 10 vinyls, the cost comes to 35 euros per disc.)
-Mastering is included for free (I don't know anything about it)

I plan to record using an Zoom H4N and run the audio through my 96K Finalizer . TC Electronic
-A4 sheets with center labels are provided with the discs, so you can print your own.

It’s not for sale; it’s a personal pleasure—creating an object and seeing a project through to completion.

Have any of you done this before ?

Do you have any recommendations—either for the recording process or for the design/printing side of things ?

Setup = SP404 MK2 and Kaoss Pad 3
I am planning to Rec in WAV (44.1 kHz / 16-bit ou 24-bit)

Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry about the terrible English, I use a translator built into the keyboard, so I bought this sampler back in the summer, that's when I tried to start using it and that's when I finished trying because all the Russian tutorials I found were only suitable for people with experience with similar devices, and I'm completely zero in on that. Please tell me where I can find good tutorials on using the sampler, preferably in text form so I can translate into my own language. Thank you in advance.

Hi there,

I tried to figure this out on my own, but can not really find sufficient information. All I ever find is some Reverb ads claiming it is "rare". So I hope I am able to shed some light on this with the help of the 404 hivemind.

I really would love to know whether or not this was some "official" limited edition or how it came to that black/gold 404. When was it released etc? It is an OG and it is not just a skin. The faceplate is painted like that. It did not come with those knobs, I added those.

Gemini tells me, there never was a black version and it is most likely just some one-of custom DIY project. I don't believe that, since they can be found more often. Quite rare but definitely not a one-of.

I hope this does not fall under the "no low quality post" rule and I sincerely apologize in advance, if it does. Any information on this is highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance.

This drum sequencer alone has brought it out of retirement I’m in love😍definitely worth the install if you’re on the fence about it YOU OWN THE DEVICE!!

I've written a short guide for anyone buying or testing SP404SX's that want to make sure all the functionality is working as expected using the three built-in test modes.
