in previous models (all of them), to integrate into my daw, i would do these two things almost every time with great effect- 1. be recording in the daw while i jammed out pads/patterns to capture the “live feel”, with ableton running at my 404 bpm’s, but not sync’d, and not caring if i mess up, just keep recording for 3-6 mins. 2. have strict pattern only recordings with ableton at the same bpm again, but this time no “jamming”, just strictly on time things. no mistakes basically for this recording….because- then bc ableton is running at the same bpm, trim to the beginning perfectly of each recording and use #2 until i’m ready for fun stuff, then i use ableton’s snapping feature to mix in segments of recording #1 over #2’s track, with only #2 solo’d. so you have your loose, funner (a word), more “you” recording on #1, but use #2 90% of the time. so you have you flares, and your bread and butter. viola! hope this makes sense!

@@LiamKillen According early comparison videos there's a difference, I was hoping there wouldn't be, i suspect the MK2 is off on more then vinyl sim, it sounds very hi-fi in a negative way to me, it's audible. I've noticed you also have to jump through dozens of hoops/options the fake a lo-fi sound oj the MK2, that's a lot of work considering older units just do it, if it sounded accurate it'd be acceptable but from what I'm hearing it does not, it can be have every feature ever, means nothing it it sounds kind of crap, which from what I've heard so far it does, you can probably mix and master the MK2's crappy sound away but that is yet more extra work, I don't think it's worth it.

I haven't tried yet- apparently there are some issues with midi at this point- it needs some debugging.

Would you recommend this as a playful noodling type of groovebox, or is the primary audience live performers/DJs looking to spice up already made songs? I'd love to see you explore how the SP-404 workflow might be augmented with a daw for picking up from where the SP-404 reaches its limits. Can you come up with a song sketch and quickly export stems/samples into a DAW, or would you need to basically rearrange it all from scratch again?

I know personally I plan to use the SP404 in conjunction with my DAW. Basically I’m gonna import samples from records into the device, use the chop function to chop the samples up and create a new melody. Then I’m gonna import that melody into my DAW to add guitar, bass, VST instruments etc. I also might use it as an FX unit for certain fx it does really well like vinyl, tape delay etc
