its cool to switch it on for part of a sample to make it stutter/loop for a while and change the pitch and speed with knobs 1 & 2, then cut it back off.

I been opting for the BPM looper lately. When using it in pattern mode, it works different than when just hitting the samples, and sometimes it ...

thanks bro, glad you like it.

you know how to drop a beat yourself.

you're the fucking man! Unreal beats

Sick beats Ella! I'm inspired... I want to try that Roland D2 box, looks fun.

Hell yea man, good work! I'm loving the atmosphere and the synth arpeggio. What kind of synth do you have?

I'm into this style too. Check out my track motion therapy in my soundcloud below!

posted up a new track on my soundcloud (link below)

its got a synthy-pop feel and i'm pretty pleased with the drums. I recorded the drum hits off my kit and then 404ed them up!! enjoy

fascinating

"IMO...the ROM card it comes with is kind of lacking; I know its hip hop oriented but its like a weak mid 90s british interpretation."

That's what I was afraid of. I listened to some clips of its stock sounds and didn't like them. And it doesn't seem like I could connect my 404 to it (no inputs) so ...

Thanks guys. They look real badass. I'll admit I have no idea how to use a "synth" that doesn't look like a synth (no keys...?), but I'm sure I can figure it out.

If I can find one used for $300 max, that's what I want. Am I right though that it cannot sample? doesn't really matter with my 404 ...

Whatup fam,

I've been working with a 404sx only for over a year, and I'm starting to get frustrated with the limitations. I need more voices than the 12 polyphony.

Anyway, I was looking at some drum machines so I could just send in drum beats to the 404 as one sample. Been looking at the Akai XR20 ...

For this particular track, I'm using pattern mode. I have a drum beat that uses 3-4 samples (drum hits), a bass line with up to 3-4 samples at once (each sample an individual bass note), and a synth track with up to 4 samples (chords). So this maxes out if I want to add anything else. So I put my ...

I'm strugglin with the max 12 polyphony... need more voices. Anyway I tried to free space in pattern mode by turning my drum pattern into just one sample instead of the 3-4 individual hits. But now when I use it in pattern mode, its the first voice to get muted out at 12 polyphony. How can i change ...

Surprised no one has mentioend this but...

Amoeba Records in San Fran is huge and has a great selection. Also, Aquarius Records in San Fran, smaller, but still nice. Go to both of them!

If you're in New Jersey at all, come to Princeton Records (central Jersey not far from Trenton). Great record ...

...you read the manual.

Or, you select the effect, hold the Remain button and then press the pad of the loop you want effected.

I took one music theory class years ago. I see why Dmin and Fmaj are related- they are the same chord- but how are Amin and Gmin related as well? Thanks
