If you use the DJFX on a sample / beat you can slow it down but still have it be automatically chopped up to keep the same tempo. Use the second knob to set the speed of the sample and the first knob to adjust how it'll be chopped. It's VERY ...

I usually just fart in the microphone and put an echo on it.

My favorite 404 beat tape to date.

If they took maybe half of the functions in that and put it in the 404 I'd be good. Only thing either machine is missing is more banks / better backup management.

The 404 only has RCA line-out outputs, but that should get the job done.

What did I do first? I think I kissed the fucking box. I ordered one just when it came out because it looked like a great machine to start out with. I probably would've gotten an MPC but I don't exactly have $1000+ to spend like that.

I already knew how it worked from the online manual so I looped ...
