@@sunwarper It's been the same in my experience. I've had an SP404SX for 10 years and suddenly over the last year I started exploring it and was so blown away. This video specifically made me realize how to implement it as an instrument, yet again haha.
@@remyvegamedia That's awesome! I've never used an sx, but there's something about it (even now with the MKII out) that's so fascinating to me. So happy to hear the video got you exploring
I can't put my finger on what song exactly but the first part of this video sounds just like a King Krule song. Great work and great ideas. Thank you for sharing this!
Cheers! That was some improvised guitar that I sampled into the sp and dropped an octave. Gives such a haunting tone to it. I’ve never heard of King Krule, just checked them out and definitely worth a deeper dive into the discography.
Can I ask is that literally guitar straight into the 404? I know the 404 has some direct options for guitar - amp sims etc. Guidance welcome as I already play ambient guitar music without all the trappings of an amp and a desire for “good tone”. I just want to express myself and I’m perilously close to pulling the trigger on a 404 mkii
It is indeed, the SP404 MKII has an amp sim as an option for input fx, so I was using that on the way in. Here's the full livestream that's from: ua-cam.com/users/livehalrLccY0RU?feature=share As a guitarist, I love the SP for how much it can color the sound etc, but it does have a bit of a learning curve. Once it clicks its a versatile tool!
Cheers! I've linked the stand below. The trays are just pieces of wood I bought and attached some metal on one side to act as a stopper. Here's the synth stand: amzn.to/3XTzta1

That work flow is insane
This was really great to watch. Gave me some good ideas how to use my MK2 in a new way. Thank you man, you're killin it.
Thanks a ton! The sp continues to surprise me with how flexible it is, there’s always more to learn

To be honest it sounds like a lot of King Krule songs lmao

First- sounds super good, interesting workflow
Appreciate it! The 404 has a lot of flexibility when it comes to sound design.
Great vid
Cheers!

@@sunwarper thanks my friend. And thank you for replying. I’ve subscribed along the way too 😊❤️
cool song. what kind of stand are you using? do those trays come with the stand?
