if you want to focus on a specific part within your pattern, if you enter the pattern edit and change the loop or end point (like you demonstrate in the video), but DONT duplicate or crop it and instead exit the menu the pattern will loop only the part you selected within the pattern edit menu. when you are done, go back to the pattern edit menu and revert the start / endpoint to what it was before.
The SX mode tip is brilliant. I ran into this last night where a transitional noise was cutting off on me from one pattern to the next! Thank you for this, brother! Another great vid! Thank you for sharing, as always. Hope all is well!
THIS was a huge help. I kept hitting pattern edit thinking my SP software needed fixing BUT this video taught me you just have to select the pattern without it playing FIRST then hit pattern edit! THANK SP VIDZ
Recorded a 1 bar pattern, changed my mind and want it to be a 2 bars in length (1 bar repeated on bar 2), dupilcate doesn’t allow that as the next bar becomes silent.-- never this changed it. Thanks! 🎉
Wanted to say I appreciate all the tips and help you put out on UA-cam. Thanks for taking the time to dissect this amazing piece of gear. Keep giving us the sauce 🎉
Typ 3 is so essential and almost nobody seems to talk about it. Thanks for letting us know how to do this. I would suscribe again if I weren‘t aleready💪
Glad to remind you man! The worst thing about the MK2 is remembering all the little shortcuts etc...I'll keep throwing out reminder videos now and again 🙏
Back again... SX pattern change mode?!?... GAME CHANGER. Especially with launching clips as one shot mode. BUTTER. Haha. I don't think people have begun to scratch the surface of what sort of compositional flexibility this has so far.
number 3 is a helva good tip, a must know for play back... do you know if there are any downsides to changing it to sx or is it just changing how it reads the pattern?
I don't think there are any trade-offs with that. I guess if you did want a sound to cut off that could be a problem as you can't have both at the same time. In that case I'd probably layer the sound over manually or add it later in a DAW or something
Daaang that's dope. Just made the first full beat I've ever made on the SX using pattern mode (which I posted on my channel). The double/crop patterns would have been great. I had a bunch of ideas that would have been a breeeeeeze with that. Nice stuff. I didn't know sub pad trick and I could have used it haha. Do you use the MK2 to make full beats more or less often than your MPC?
@@spvidz No shame in that! I challenged myself to get the most out of the SX while I save up and it made me realize (when considering the new MK2 features) just how compatible I am with this method. And that's even with all of the serious limitations of the SX. I'm really excited to get my hands on a MK2 l and I hope it works out 🤞🏼 I'm getting loaded up on info from your videos.
@@spvidz Plus! One shot mode is practically an audio track for the MK2... And being able to record to a pad during pattern playing and end snap, that's game over for me. Plus time sig per pattern... pffttt
Hi, just found your chanel and this video, I'm a complete noob when it comes to music production or beat making, but always wanted to start making my own beats. Is this a good device to start in? Do I need any other fancy equipment to use this sequencer? I just want to get started but I have so many questions😢
Hey is it possible to use the SP404 as a loopstation (Boss RC 505) ? also conected as a slave in a midi chain with synths? thanks so much. Congratulations for the channel

All good thank you bro. Hope you are too 🙌
Tip #3 much appreciated, got mine last week, just getting to grips with it all
Nice man! Good luck with the learning curve! 🙌
Same. I’ve needed that functionality before, now I know it’s an option 👌
Holy shit! Thank you so much for tip #3 🙏🏽🙏🏽🎉
I have been looking for MONTHS for a solution!
Hell yeah! I'm so glad I found that too
It would be nice is they added a setting to allow the position of the 2nd pattern to take off were the 1st pattern left off when pattern jumping.
Yeah Koala does that and it’s awesome. Really like how creative you can get when you can do that
Volca Sample does this also.

These vids help a lot man, thanks for always being on top of it.
No problem 🙌

Ahhh man! Thx for tips #3, I had no idea. It's gonna save me a lot of headache managing too long pattern..👍👍
🙌🙌🙌
Gracias as always.
Great video SP! These tips are extremely helpful :)
Glad to hear that man! Thanks for dropping in again 🙌
@@spvidz of course and thank you!
Excellent tips! Hey Roland, I'd love a way to jump between patterns quantized!
Thanks man, yeah I'd love that too! Would be a neat feature that maybe you could turn on and off in the settings
Thank you for the tip #3🙏 btw. that sub pad changing pattern works with SX too.
Ah nice 👌
Agreed that last tip is straight fire!
I would like to get one of these.. they sound great
They’re a lot of fun too! 🙌
Whaou, top advices.

Thanks for stopping in ma guy! Hope you’re good 🙌
Just got mines in the mail Saturday. I’m very overwhelmed with it but it’s all a learning process lol. Fire ass beat, what’s the break beat used?
Nice man, welcome to the SP gang! Yeah its a bit of a learning curve but with some practice it starts to make sense!
is there a way to play a sample once and not retrig? Like elektron's conditional 1st time only ?
Daaang that's dope. Just made the first full beat I've ever made on the SX using pattern mode (which I posted on my channel). The double/crop patterns would have been great.

Do you use the MK2 to make full beats more or less often than your MPC?
I hardly use my MPC to be honest 😭 Really digging the MK2 at the moment but I will make some time for it at some point.

No you can't use it as a loop station really. You can make loops but not quickly and easily like a RC505
@@spvidz oh man that's sucks. Anyway thanks for getting back to me. I really appreciate that! Keep up with the great job
