Dilemma or blessing? Roland SP-404 MK2 -I wanna finish this songs!
Due to work and night shifts I find myself struggling finishing songs on the Roland SP-404 MK2.
Im so used to the workflow of the Roland Verselab MV-1 im not getting further than making 2 or 4 bar song templates instead of finishing it as a whole song.
I promised myself to take the 404 with me on holiday to Croatia and finish them there..
For now... this are the song templates to work on..
Any thoughts are welcome .
peace!

Hi friends, been busy with a lot so once in 2 weeks I try to upload some new songs or demo's. since I record everything straight out of the Roland SP 404 MK2 I spent little time editing the video.. #altarbeatz #sp404mk2 #behringer #groovebox one thing for sure, the sound is 100% pure and no after polishing.. The JT 4000 is used for a rave string and sampled into pad 12 of the SP. The Verselab i...

I believe the Roland SP-404 MK2 just took over my life for now... As some of you know I was a Roland Verselab MV-1 guy only for a long time but something has changed.. Not that I ever wil abandon the MV-1 but for now there is so much to explore and learn on the SP-404 MK2. This track/ short song is more like a practice video trying out the scatter FX and try to work my way through song building...

For a long time I thought only the Roland Verselab will do and I need nothing else. Untill Roland started to release the Airia Compact series. Those little boxes work so darn fine with the Roland Verselab, it's like a natural extention to the MV-1. :) In this video I linked the Roland J-6 via MIDI in to the MIDI out of the MV-1. Sound goes directly from the MIX-OUT of the J-6 to the LINE in of ...

Hi my friends, As a none musical schooled sample based producer, the Roland J-6 comes in very handy to create Chordy Arps and synthlines. On this track it's the base of the whole MV-1 track built on top of it. For the J-6 Chord genre I used P.030, Style & Variation = 1.5, Sound 1.1 All played on the Roland MV-1 Pads, MIDI linked to the INST 2 Track. For the Sub bass I used Drv808BS3 Long with 2...

Hello my friends. On this song I used the J-6 as a slave to the MV-1. I used the Inst 2 track on the MV-1 and lower the volume of that sound. The MIDI reference channel of the Inst 2 track is by default nr. 7 so I set the MIDI of the J-6 also to nr. 7. I had fiddled a bit with the settings on both machines to get the sound of the J-6 played on the pads of the MV-1. Now you can arrange a differe...

A little dramatic titel but the thruth is in it. What would I do without my Roland Verselab MV-1 these day's. I had missed the box for 3 months due to technical reasons and really felt a bit empty without it.

    You are a God at this m8. I've got the MV1 and the J6 but cannot for the life of me get the J6 sounds and controls recorded onto a track on the mv-1. I've done every variation settings - in to out / out to in / stuffed turn on /stuff turned off. The best i can do is trigger the mv1 tones on the keys of the J6 and use the patterns / hold / chords. But can I get the J6 sweet tones and controls record on the verselab via midi - nope! Would you mind telling me with these 2 pieces of kit what settings you use?
