Best/favorite drum sequencers?
I've worked with Akai MPCs, guitar pro, and FL studio.
I liked guitar pro best, it was like writing sheet music.

This idea is what originally attracted me to the 404. I have taken some great samples from rusty swing sets and used very little effect on them, Ive found some of little use but a few magical swings inside which amazing melodies are locked. This approach truly turns sampling into an art form, and ...

I found those threads very helpful. I'm sad to here the chopping trick doesn't work on the SX, because besides that the SX seems to have many advantages. Extremely tough decision, especially because I've never used either.

Can anyone else elaborate or think of any other reasons to stick with the o.g. 404 as opposed to the 404SX?

Ive decided I definitely want the 404
as my first piece.
However, local stores carry the 404SX...
this is the same thing with added features right?
