Re: Super Pads - SP-404SX Pad Manager

This is basically the decoder:
https://github.com/randygordon/rdac

There's a Windows utility called rdac2wav.exe in the built folder that you can try for SP-404 files. I did it with the basic parameters and couldn't distinguish the wav from the SP-404 output so it seems to be good.
Just keep the ...

Re: Super Pads - SP-404SX Pad Manager

Congrats on the project, this looks really nice.

I was just dusting off Bankrobber and uploaded a recent version but as we know Adobe AIR is pretty much dead so I was also looking into an Electron port but you pretty much did it already.

I will look into the codebase to see if I can contribute ...

Bankrobber 2021 update

What's up people.

I originally conceived Bankrobber in 2011 and released the software as a freeware. Since then a lot of time passed and I completely forgot about it. From time to time I got some questions about it, but most of the issues were solved by the community which was pretty nice to see ...

Re: Hacking the 404SX

... is it already possible to export pattern as midi-files?
that would be huge... i would also love to see some sort of a pattern editor; shorten pattern, extend pattern, copy/cut/paste certain regions...


Pattern editor is in the works. It's a bit complicated to get the UI right, but I try to ...

Re: Hacking the 404SX

Dishwater, bankrobber doesn't need anything from the internet, so I assume this has to do with some kind of autoupdater built into flash player.
Probably just checks if a newer version is available.

Re: Hacking the 404SX

I'm going to investigate the 505 this week.
It's going to be a hard nut to crack, but I'll see what I can do.

Re: Hacking the 404SX

It should support aif files, but since I implemented that some times ago, it's possible I broke that in the process. I will look at the code to see what happens.

Anyway, I guess this is what beta testing is for :)

Started updating the reported bugs page, so you can follow the bugfix process there.

Re: Hacking the 404SX

one question: are the sample parameters in the software the same as they are on the hardware? which is to say, can you introduce panning via the software, or is that a no-go?

As far as I know there's no panning support on the SP (besides applying effects to the sample and resample)

I can add ...

Re: Hacking the 404SX

Here's a little video:

I just wanted to demonstrate the looping capabilities, half and double the loop length, move the looping area etc.
You can edit the start and end points manually too, but I did not touch on it here.

BPM calculation is also shown but it's a bit blurry in the video ...

Re: Hacking the 404SX

Hey guys,
this weekend I had some time to work on the program.
I am now able to read and write banks, sample parameters, it is now all working fine on the machine.

There were some interesting details in writing the wav / aiff files to the card: each sample must have its own Roland information ...

Hey guys,

Sorry for the late response, the project is definitely not dead.
I set up the project page, you can subscribe to our RSS or follow us on Twitter to get updates.

I need to get a card reader to test the app thoroughly and try to get to a beta release out as fast as I can.

Re: Hacking the 404SX

A little update that might interest some 404SX users:

I managed to decode the backup file format, so now we can browse the backup binaries on the computer listen to the samples etc.
