Hey! You're dope!!!! Hope all is well, peace and blessings to you bro

I've had the original 404 on my list for years and I'm glad I waited. This is exactly what I was looking for, it fixes all of the issues I had with the original

Sounds like a perfect fit

was expecting this thing to be way more expensive, its amazing what you can get from a $500 sampler these days!

I have no experience with an SP but after watching this I’m considering picking one of these up.

Holy Crap!!! 16 levels, mute groups, chopping feature!! Crazy, this is dope!!

@@AccurateBeats ​ That's awesome! It's always great to see a company actually listen to their users and continue moving forward with new product releases that include what the community has been dreaming up and hoping for. I tend to be pretty computer/DAW focused in my workflow at this point (Maschine, Ableton/Push, etc.), but I have been toying with the idea of a 404 for a while now, and I definitely now have my eyes on this one after watching your (fantastic) review! Thanks for putting it through its paces for us! Regarding what you said above -- "it's gotten **almost** every single thing I was missing on the SX/A" -- out of curiosity, what other additions/improvements would have made it a "perfect" update for you? In other words, what's hiding behind that "almost" in your reply?

Awesome stuff man! So hyped on this release.

Resampling the chromatic notes so you can use them in the sequencer is brilliant. Thanks for the awesome idea, and fantastic video all around.

Please go on for days! Finally it's here! Thanks for the review!

This video was the first one that finally made me understand how this thing is supposed to work. So you can record a pattern with just the bass line, and then another pattern for the melody, and then you can resample both into a combined version. If you're unhappy with the mix, you can go back to the individual patterns and tweak, play back again and skip back to get a new combined sample. When you're ready for final composition in a DAW, your original patterns/samples are still there (assuming you didn't overwrite them with the resampled versions) so you can still do some professional mixing of the individual components of the track. I'm thinking that something like this would be cool as a music sketchpad on the couch, but I couldn't understand how I'd go from the couch to the DAW until now. Of course, I'd still love to play samples chromatically and polyphonically when recording into the sequencer, but I realize that that's not what the 404 is about. Or maybe it will be able to do it at some point in the future.

what an incredible sampler ! Thanks for the video

If you don't want to be reliant upon looking at a screen. I beieve you build a different relationship with the equipment when you don't need to use the screen most of the time. The mk2 has a lot big pluses; however if not making music with the old one you probably won't make music with new one.

@@johnsmall3084 Well said! The same with the MPC 1000 in comparison with the MPC One. The small screen on the MPC 1000 enables me to do things by ear instead of by sight which for me is more enjoyable as I get in the zone that way. Obviously for this to work on any groovebox it has to have a great, simple and intuitive workflow first which the MPC 1000 is renowned for.

Nice tutorial! Looks like Roland improved a lot on the sp404 with this upgrade. I Like the new chop mode feature. Now we don't have to always go back and mark new points. They have improved pitching function as well. Can't wait to get one of these! Would be a great addition to the workflow! 👍

I wasn't into the SP404 up until now, despite it having a lot of strengths, like price, portability and great FX. But now, that screen really brings this machine alive, no more 1980s alarm clock stuff! The time stretching is so good too, brings this up to date!

Dope as usual. Question, please. Could you try using, like, an Anker power bank to USB-C, and see it the unit can be powered by it, please? The manual says 1.5 amps or greater. Most of those packs put out at least A2.4. The 1010 Music Blackbox runs well w/ an Anker.

Great Video Accurate! It really painted a good mpc1 / 404mk2 comparison in my head. Really wish you could record the chromatic notes in the sequencer. Seems like the sequencer needs an upgrade. Like 16 channels of midi sequencing since it has midi in and out. Does it still only do the 2 midi channel thing or can you mess with all 16 at 1 time?

Dope beat bro. Can't wait for my SP to turn up in 2029

Nice vid mate! This is so sick! :D I'm currently using Maschine MK3, but I've been missing the dawless approach. I wasn't really feeling the OG 404 workflow and MPC was to expensive for my budget, but this seems more up to date and promising. Is there any news about release date in Scandinavia and price point? And how does this fly vs. MPC one for instance?

I'm amazed how quickly you were able to make this video after the product premiere 😅

Hey man! I love your videos! Excuse if my question is silly: Was the bassguitar pre amped or did you just plug it in the 404? thanks in advance!!!

Love mine in terms of how immediate and easy to use compared to other samplers like Octatrack.

Great video. Do you have a rationale or preference when it comes to picking what goes on what pad. Drums, samples, resampling stuff etc...

Respect!!!

Does the issue still exist with the pattern sequencer, that if your timing isn’t perfect, it will miss the first pad hit, and you have to re-record it, or quantize the drums, so it catches that first note?
