SP-FORUMS

Keyboard sounds would be great, but I don't think the 404 lends itself to multi-samples very well. I'd say keyboard or bass loops would be cool for some people, but i prefer to create my own. However you can never have enough drum samples - so that was my vote

dj frantic: that would be pretty sweet.
I have a 404 and take it with me almost everywhere. Since the 555 has a hi-z input, I thought it might be possible to lay down rough guitar ideas using various effects and the amp sim.

i would really like to hear how the amp sim effect on the 555 sounds

Juxt: there isn't a way to pitch the samples as far as i know. It has limited features, just compression.

However, as an ultra small portable field recorder you can't beat it for the price. The onboad mics are surprisingly great!

No need to include modeling of the sp404 effects - BUT if it were able to be a VST which would support pattern and sample playback from the CF card I would be in heaven. Think about it - no need to go through another A/D conversion just to get your pattern/song recorded in the computer!

That's a pretty sweet case idea dj vivi. Someone had mentioned that zebra cases http://www.zebracase.com work well for the 404. I ended up using an old, large handgun case. It's rugged and also has enough room for my Zoom H2 field recorder for battery powered sampling anywhere
