Ten minutes is nowhere near in depth 😕 🇬🇧 🙏 a half hour on process & which dials to program & 🤔 ❓️ 🇺🇸
I can not understand much english,,,
but I could understand your great sp404 techniques.
thanks a lot!
from japan
my pleasure
Thanks for the machine Japan. I just ordered one from over there and it was marked ship today.
Terrific video. I’ve had my SX for almost a week and I’ve been ignoring the pattern sequencer so far. But when I decide to try it out THIS is the video that I’ll put on!
thanks for watching. there's plenty more for u if interested. ua-cam.com/play/PL14pM4bMkDLmdv3-r7X9vb0qZ_YvSL29w.html
My Favourite DAW is now purely my SP404 and Tascam DR-05 recorder. Staying out of software has been the best move I've ever made.
It might just be the way my brain works but, too many choices and ways to do things seems to be counter-productive for me.
I have an MPC Studio Black that just sits in the drawer these days.
Thank you for pushing such great content! You keep me motivated and your outside the box thinking is refreshing!
yellchai agreed
Limitations breed creativity!

Me to ! I have 3 mpc mpc1000, xl,live, machine but im so tired when i use software daw controller
Wi fi i took my computers and put em in my closet just using the sp404sx a synth n a zoom h4n now ...love it the sp404sx is my favorite piece of hardware.
yellchai might try this myself for a time.
This is the most user friendly sp404sx video I’ve seen! Thanks
Wow, thanks!
This is the first SP 404sx video where I finally understand how to use this thing. You're a great explainer and I am thankful for this video. I watched so many and finally get it.
glad this vid helped!
I, after 6 years of waiting and saving, finally got an sp...I will be watching your videos like crazy! Haha 😂

i started with FL Studio budding fresh learning how to sample vinyl and finger drum on the fpc (remember when it was Fruity Loops ;P) but somehow after the gritty foundation moved on and had a love affair with Ableton where basic fundamental of mixing mastering was honed. Then realized after amany years creativity and joy of beatmaking was killed as i got too much into the details of music production but all in love is fair as now im happily back wit and at it in FL Studio 20 loving the gift making music whatever it entails more than ever. SP404 been wit me throughout the journey but kept getting interrupted by production due to the difficulty of solely relying on it just to mix. but now it don't matter any more. this video and your love for making music has helped get out of the rut of detail & has given me that push to use the SP404 to play to someone. thank you brother!
my pleasure
Just bought a SP 404A today....can u please do a beginners guide from the moment u plug n play, full walk thru using sounds, micro joints all that famo?✊🏽🇲🇦
thanks for the request
Sweet. Great reminder to start simple.
Absolutely!
The video was helpful. I like the idea of even using the intro as a bridge. Thanks for making the video steady with the info but smoothe enough for a intermediate level person to grasp.
my pleasure and i appreciate that!
Man this was extremely helpful! thank you!
Glad it helped!
Finally! I’ve been waiting for this video for a while.
salute
Dope video! If you think abouy it, arranging is more or less like dubbing in reggae. Like thats where the arrangement comes from. If you listen to a King Tubby track its pretty much like a hip hop beat: atmospheric instruments, hard bass and drums, and bringing certain sections in n out with delays. And that was in the 70s! His artform has just become popular now.
thanks for sharing
Nice & simple thanks 😊
Most welcome 😊
I love your teaching style. I just got my 404 and I’m going to check out the rest of your videos. Thanks for this :)
my pleasure
Another great one, thanks
My pleasure!
I bought the Book! I needed help with chords. Thanks!

my pleasure
Your enthusiasm really compliments your talent and most of all your SKILL.
You’re always very enjoyable to learn from and very informative. Good ish fam.
Thank you! 🙏🏽
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video. My fav daw is probably cubase but I've actually been using logic for a while now. Thinking about checking out Ableton to see what all the fuss is about
"This is not supposed to be a math class!"...but it does help explain beat structure easier. Thanks for this video, when it comes to the SP 404 these videos age really well and help those new to the 404 like me.
glad these vids are helping
Man I'm with u here thanks pal 🙂 Im getting one to compose with and for hands on structure. I started wondering about how the triggering timing works for each part to pad and you showed it clearly there pal! Thanks..I need to get the thing hands on to learn what I can do with it but ur vids are really gonna help me learn faster!
my pleasure
Impc pro2, beatmaker 3, caustic. I can’t wait to purchase the sp404
salute
love your rapping dude!)
LOL
I'm interested in getting a 404sx/A but a question I can't seem to find an answer from watching videos, can i save samples and patterns as a project and have different samples/patterns on my pad banks per project?
not like the MPC but you can save patterns and samples. unfortunately patterns won't keep the same tempo if you adjust them for each beat.
@@Verysickbeats cool thank You for the reply!
Verysickbeats
What do you mean adjust them? Why not?
@@chuytheleast6468 I assume this is one of the reasons why many SP 404 users resample there sequences because there is no individual sequence tempo, just a master tempo for all sequences. My best guess. I don't own a 404 yet.
This tutorial was very entertaining.
thanks for watching
Dope as usual , hope you got the new sp404mk2 on preorder. Would like to see you review it and flip it VSB style!
yes look forward to it
Do you have a video using a live instrument into the SP?

damn i havent used my 404 in a long time after getting into FL Studio... but, recently... i just havent been feeling the vibe thru the DAW like i used to when i made beats on my 404 and am starting to relearn a workflow on the 404 and this video has given me so much ideas and inspiration thank you :)
my pleasure
😅😅😅 love that yes king always dropping gems Bless

From the sp into maschine and mixed in logic
what do you do in maschine
Ableton is bae 🙏
On that note, waiting for my SP404sx to come in the mail this week 🙃
Enjoy!
The Boss-n-Roland samplers are simple-n-fun. Basic looping-n-chopping samples. Effects you can experiment with. I can say for me myself -n-I these are the best samplers for a beginner.
agree
I'm using Ableton, and following along to the tutorial using my circuit.
dope
Definitely ableton is my fav

I'm still having a bit of trouble with making music with the Sp-404 Sx. I was wondering if you can make a tutorial that we can play along with you, during your tutorial please and Thank you?
hopefully some of these will help...ua-cam.com/play/PL14pM4bMkDLmdv3-r7X9vb0qZ_YvSL29w.html
Thank you so much. I’m a Big Fan of your videos!!!
Ableton is my favorite
salute
@@Verysickbeats I am seriously considering that S 2400
I use Ableton and REAPER
nice! shout out anyone who could use the pattern sequencer on these jawns, i just cant seem to get a perfect loop unless i use the resample method.
✌
the more you do it, the easier it becomes
i appreciate u

mpc straight into audacity, maybe FL for some touch ups
i have a mpc 2000xl, sp 303 and 404, po 33, FL, ableton, audacity. it just depends what i wanna do. all of my tools get used
straight into compton
Love using Ableton live. Wanna make more music without a computer though for sure.
salute
Ableton Live
can you sequence patterns with 16 bars? only doing 8 here by pattern, iguess you can make two for two pads, but way easier if there is a 16bars option
yes
It goes up to 99 right? I might be wrong.
Is it possible to send metronome from Roland sp-404sx only to a headphones output? For example if i would like to play with a drummer and to send him the metronome while on main output there's only sample?
unfortunately im not aware if that is possible, i've never seen that before
MASCHINE!!!!!!!!
salute
I love my MPC live, the 2000xl has a special place in my heart though. I am now looking for a good sampler, I like how the boss sp303 sounds, and am gonna try and pick one up, but the Roland sp404 is also an option. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for the great content!
my suggestion is to master the MPC live b4 adding anything else but thats just me...if u must i'd say get the 303 if sound is what you're after
Verysickbeats thanks for the feedback! And thanks for the great content, glad I found your channel! I’m pretty versed in the mpc, but not a master quite yet! Getting there, I was thinking I started way back with the mpc 1000 about 10 years ago, upgraded to the mpc live and I learn new things nearly everyday. I think the reason I’m all amped on the 303 is definitely grittier sounds and fluidity in my arrangements. But nevertheless it’s been a long process, and there’s a lot more for me to learn. I’ll keep tuning in, and gaining more knowledge. Thanks again for the advice! Stay blessed!
I'm on Ableton but trying to get into the SP a bit more

Maschine studio str8 to Ableton live 10....AKAI Advance 49 midi board then drop the needle on the Stanton T92 turntable.....I’m still getting use to using and running all this shit together 😓✊🏽🇲🇦...oh yeah then sequence abit thru my AKAI APC 40 MKII...♑️ 🐐
salute
Maschine these days...

Thanks for the video! How do you usually deal with the 'single bpm' of the SP? I'm talking about the pattern sequencer can only remember the last bpm used, which messes up other patterns that were built with a different BPM. This is the thing that makes me always return to the resampling method...which has its own downfalls
unfortunately thats one of the flaws, but i still prefer the pattern method over resampling when it comes to sequencing
yeah I tend to oscillate between those two. Thanks for this video and all the other ones! I've bought your piano lessons for 25 hip-hop classics and can't wait to get to it! Cheers
Man Jfilt this video really helped me out man!! This was exactly what I needed to learn
Much appreciated man
POSITIVE ENERGY!!!!
Glad it helped!

Here in Peru is difficult to get an mpc or shit like that bcause its rare and very expensive. Im tryin to get my sound from old records with a numark pt01 and rock them in the fl studio. I only have an akai pads controller with a computer to make my own. In this land my people have to learn makin shit with a few resources. To be honest I feel i need a hardware to increase my work. but in this moment, i just get fun with the shit i have. And Im learning too much with your videos.
Respect from Peru, my broh.
you have everything you need, trust me. keep going
