I thought this would be a good idea for a post, what gear do you use with you SP-404? A short discription on how you use your gear together would also be nice

me + sp-404 + samples. Recording; whatever machine that can record the outputs of my sp-404.

look below

1. Roland SP-404 (of course) - The Missing Link
2. Roland MC-505 - Drums/Synth/Bassline/Controller
3. Behringer BCD2000 - Scratching
4. Edirol UM3EX - MIDI Connection
4. Ibanez sdgr Bass - Basslines
5. Digitech BP50 - Bass effects
6. Behringer BX1200 - Bass Amp
6. Agga - Me M8 in Perth - Guitar & Advice
7. PC - Software/Samples/Effects/MP3 & WAV's & Editing

Well, just got my SP-404 again...I plan to use it with a Korg EA-1, MicroKorg, and a Moog Voyager.

two turntables
audio card
laptop
padkontrol
midi keyboard
Reason
Adobe Audition

and various things like cords, mixers, speakers, hard drives etc.

mpc4k, motu 828mk2, turntables, rane56, some monitors

I got the fantom X6 and the SP rigged back and forth in terms of input/outputs. You might think that's a little redundant since the Fantom has quite the share of F/X and more intimate parameters but it doesn't have the vinyl sim compressor or the same kinda 'playable' knobs (for example the Wah). Also you can have up to 4 MFX going this way. Obviously I have a mic and monitors and all that but in terms of stuff I actually use with the 404 that's about it besides acid 6.0 for precise chopping/stretching.

-vinyl
-turntable
-phillips CD recorder- I want to get a nice tape recorder too.
-rarely use yamaha keyboard, to use insded of the sp pads.
-rnc compressor
-(old school) realistic eq

I mostly use my gear for voice acting and foley/sound effects for computer games and movies.

I have owned many audio interfaces...and the MOTU is my favorite by far. The macbook just works... but you have to max out the ram. My nanoloop is a beta version that only works on specific gameboys... one of which is not the original grey one. I got it for $35... and doubt it would be worth selling....since I'm not hard up for pocket change. Why are you selling the SP-12 turbo?
