    I confirmed today after uninstalling and reinstalling the updated app that this also WORKS in Windows PC's as well- and NOT only in Ableton, ANY DAW that supports VST3. I tested it in Reason 12.6 to test out their new vst3 support and it works. In Windows it will be intalled into: Local Drive(C)>Program Files>Common Files>VST3>Roland.

      Yep!!! My weapon of choice is Ableton so my videos use Ableton. 9 times out of 10 the same concepts work with other DAWS and platforms just may use different key combinations. Thanks for posting this we are here to help each other.💪🏾🙏🏾💯

    I’m sorry to ask but I tried this only using the usbc cord connected and I could not get it to work like your video shows. What did you have selected in the audio preferences section or did it work because you have the sp-404mkII plugged into a audio interface with actual midi attachments / line in and out plugs. I appreciate the help.

    • @bassrobotics
      @bassrobotics  3 місяці тому +1

      Im using a third party app called Blackhole as a multi-output device on a mac. Are you using a Mac? If you don't need multiple devices just select your SP-404 as an in on an audio track and do it that way. Works the same way.

    There’s a problem with this - the sp seems to get caught in a feedback loop. At minute 02:11 you can see there’s still audio coming into track 5. This only stops when you turn off the external instrument in ableton - is there a solution to this?

    I'm having issues with this, I've made sure that the Ableton's Input Device is not the SP (as advised by the 404MK2 VST) and output device is set to the SP, however when I open the 404MK2 VST in Ableton, I'm not seeing the green audio monitor go up whenever I play anything from my SP. Any advice on this would help out ton! I'm eager to get back into making beats consistently!
