SP-FORUMS

Hi -

I'm using an SP404 that's tempo synced to an external master sequencer being operated by another band mate. Every now and again i make a stupid mistake and instead of pressing a non-playing Pattern pad to queue the next pattern up, i hit the pattern that is playing and stop the SP404 all ...

Thanks... the second suggestion is where i got to yesterday, a 12bar pattern so everything meets up at the same point. I think i'll stick with this then. It seemed to work, only downside is i can't use the LED counter to measure where i am in perfect bars of four throughout a performance, but then i ...

Hi,

Is there any way, within a new Pattern that is 4 bars long to trigger a sample that is only 3 bars long in such a way that it just carries on looping itself from the start... continuing in 3/4 whilst all the other loops go round in 4/4?

I've tried a few experiments but can't get it to work. I ...

16bit 44khz aiff files (same as i always use). If it was the wrong file type it would give me the 'UnS' message, but i'm getting 'FuL'...

My SP404 has recently been saying 'FUL' when trying to import samples from a flash card, although i've gone through and deleted about 20 samples from the 404 (some 3min long in stereo) it still says 'FUL'.

Samples i'm trying to import are very short.

Any ideas?

Genius! Will give it a whirl.. thanks.

Hi – I have a 4 bar pattern with all the samples starting on the first beat of the first bar. One sample is very long and I’d like it to start in time with the other short loops but continue through to it’s natural end without restarting when the pattern loop comes back round each time. Is there ...

Huge shame... was hoping to sequence the pattern changes from my electribe and free up some much needed hands!

Jim - your absolutely right... Can are my no.1 band of all time and Holger Czukay my spiritual sound splicing hero of sorts. A fan?

Is it possible to change the SP404 Patterns during a song with an external sequencer rather than doing it manually?

I'd like to do this with a Korg Electribe EM-1, hopefully recording these Pattern changes onto the Electribe as part of a song.

If it is possible, how do i set the 2 up to do ...

Not entirely a roland dedicated question this but as a lot of you are using the SP's intergrated into a larger system i thought it might be worth asking anyway.

I'm basically in the process of putting together my live set up and aside from the individual bits of hardware on my list, i need to ...

You know, i've had trouble with the 'Current Pad' button and applying effects, has anyone else experienced this?

A pattern's playing and i want to add an effect to a certain pad, i hold down 'Current' whilst selecting the relative sample and but it won't select?! I eventually have to select the ...

How do i select a pad without triggering off the sample during Pattern playback? If i want to select a pad to add the gate or reverse... how do i select it without disturbing the Pattern?

Thanks

Just going back to this...

I've tried the 'flashing tempo light as visual metronome' trick but hit a block when trying to sample a complicated guitar part ie; having to take my eyes away from the fretboard to keep time!

Has anyone had success at hooking up some kind of midi metronome so you ...

Is it possible to pan samples left and right within the SP404 to allow simple mixing?

I see there's a pan effect but this just ping pongs the sample back and forth at different speeds right? Can you just simply select a mono sample and pan it hard right like you can adjust it's individual volume ...

Is it possible to sync the SP404's tempo to a Microkorg arpeggiators tempo with the 404 only having midi in?

Cheers
