1 - Can you connect your mixer to the sp and to use the effects and at the same time play the pads to play some samples.

I am wondering if I can dj with my turntables and mixer, plus being able of use the effects and put loops, samples and patterns using the sp. Well, maybe, it is too much and that's why I never saw any body doing that.

2 - Another option, could you connect the sp into the in-mic of a mixer to play samples along with the mix on the records.

Besides the beat making, I am very interested in the dj/live features of the sp.
Thanks a lot

yes you can do all the things mentioned above with the 404, you should download the manual from the roland website, it has quite a few pages on the 404 in a DJ setup.

Thanks,
I just bought a sp-404 and it is coming in the mail soon. Very excited!!!

Wow thanks for this idea framori! I have this 2 channel battle mixer and I've never thought about using the mic-in to connect my 404!!

Have fun with your 404 - I'm sure you'll love it!

I did some research on the mic-in thing and now I'm back with bleeding ears
You can plug the 404 to the mic-in no doubt and the sound was crystal clear.
But when you press the "ext source" button on the SP the sound starts to circulate through the mixer and 404 creating a horribly loud beeping noise.

So basicly you can use the mic-in but then you have to forget using your
sampler as a fx-box.
