General

Craft beats from samples and effects with slick ease using the Roland SP-404MKII as your all-in-one sampling control panel. This creative sampler comes equipped with a comprehensive stack of sample editing tools and effects, all navigated with the help of a central LED screen featuring visible waveforms that you can zoom in on for precision editing so users can cut samples to size in real-time, or speed up the process even further using the Auto Chop function. Refine custom samples using a built-in envelope filter and pitch shifter, and since the entire-resampling workflow has been polished up for the MkII edition, patterns and effects layers can now be re-recorded, while a smart Skip Back Sampling function samples the last 25 seconds of the performance.

Deeper Editing Options with the SP-404MKII App

The Roland SP-404MKII partner app doesn't just provide a tasty list of legendary SP effects, but a fresh collection of new classics. So you get to play with the Vinyl Simulator and DJF Looper as well as newer toys like a Lo-Fi Cassette Simulator and a Resonator. A microphone or guitar can be plugged in directly to sample more complex sonic textures, and the sound can be tweaked using ready-made effects including a Vocoder Auto Pitch function and a Guitar Amp Simulator. Besides the immense sample editing options and effects on offer, patterns can be built via a flexible workflow using quantize and shuffle; a Pad Link function to trigger multiple samples at the same time, a Roll function for spitting variable note-repeats; and BPM adjustment per bank so users can freely flip between different tempos.

Quality, bit of hardware, struggled a wee bit when first starting with it, as I am used to working on my KO2. But now with the help of youtube it's all making sense. The screen and the three top knobs make trimming your own samples so easy.

Using the guitar through it for the effects is a amazing bonus.

Top notch piece of gear. Learning to use basic functions is straightforward after reading the manual, the in depth advanced features can be difficult but a good challenge. The strengths of this device I found is to think of the device as an instrument rather than just a sample player.

Super, rien à dire de négatif pour mon utilisation simple , une prise en main facile, banque de sons assez éclectique!
Un sampleur classique que je suis contente d'avoir.
Léger à transporter fonctionne sur pile et secteur, très autonome et se marie bien avec Logic Pro et Ableton Live je vais essayer de tester si il peut se synchroniser avec mes autres logiciels.

Kocht deze SP als een kerstcadeau voor mezelf bij Bax Brugge en ben extreem tevreden over mijn aankoop. Blij ook dat de functies en de workflow leren zeer vlot verliep aan de hand van YT video’s, zeker gezien het mijn eerste sampler is. De machine heeft mij ondertussen opgeslorpt, ik loop voortdurend te dagdromen over drumbreaks choppen en 70s psych loops opdiepen. Toffe, toffe, toffe hobby bij. Het was trouwens de moeite waard om naar de winkel te gaan, ik kreeg duidelijke antwoorden op mijn vragen, fijn team dat daar rondloopt. Merci!

Echt top! Zit te genieten van de SP404 MKII. Goede kwaliteit, stevig.

Ik zou aanraden om de pad sensitivity aan te passen (Mijn settings: LOG. Threshold - 1, Gain - 10, Trig Span - 5).

Verder ook top met de Roland desktop app.

Heel veel plezier ermee gehad tot nu toe.

Erg veelzijdig apparaat, ik gebruik het als geluidskaart, fx unit, ritme begeleiding en opname/sampler voor mijn synths en natuurlijk ook om beats te maken.

De sp404mk2 is sinds het op de markt is gekomen in 2021 regelmatig geupdate met nieuwe firmware, waardoor het nu nuttige functies heeft, die het in het begin niet had, bv. de stepsequencer, sound generator en de looper.

Met name de skipback functie is fantastisch, deze functie laat je 40 seconden van de laatst gespeelde of doorkomende audio herroepen, zodat je het kan samplen. Erg handig!

Ook kan je het apparaat aan je iPad/tablet/telefoon (usbC) hangen voor samenwerking met apps zoals bv. Koala. Dit opent een hele nieuwe wereld aan mogelijkheden.
Door al deze mogelijkheden, dit is misschien de sp404mk2's enige minpunt, zijn er nogal wat shortcuts/snelkoppelingen om bij de verschillende functies te komen waardoor je soms door de bomen het bos niet meer ziet. Het is handig om een lijstje met shortcuts bij de hand te hebben als je aan de slag gaat.

Al met al veel waar voor je geld. Als je bedenkt dat de sp404mk2 wordt vergeleken met apparaten die bijna 2 keer zo duur zijn, weet je dat je goed zit.

The Roland SP-404 MK2: The V4.04 Update

Thursday 4 April 2024 By Kim | Bax Music

With a little luck, you're reading this on 4/4/24, because Roland has a thing for numerical jokes. What's the punchline? As of today (the 4th of the 4th) version 4.04 of the Roland SP-404 MK2 firmware is now available.
