Re: SP-555 VS SP-404sx with a KP3 for gigs

No I went into the shop and I was like "555" and they were like errr... "799". They quoted 750 for the 404sx, but on a 2nd look saw that I'll get it a lot cheeper.

But apart from velocity I guess there's not much in it hey... apart from being able to dump samples from the looper to the pads inside ...

SP-555 VS SP-404sx with a KP3 for gigs

Hey guys, I'm going to grab an SP to start gigging with. I've already got a Kaoss Pad (which does looping) so completely disregarding price (they're the same price new now apparently!?) Would you prefer an SP-404sx with a Kaoss Pad or an SP-555 to play a gig with?

Re: Has anyone tried this for a live set?

Thanks dude.

I just borrowed a 404 from a friend to give it a go... it seems like the pads are kinda loose and probably prone to bumping and misfiring samples onstage... :oops: has anyone run into that problem using these live?

Haven't plugged it in yet, I'll let you all know how I go when I do...

Re: Has anyone tried this for a live set?

So... I'm thinking about grabbing on of these soon for live work (so noob questions disclaimer)... if you've got your beat playing as a sample on one of the pads, are you able to record a loop over the top?

and can you switch banks without the sound cutting out too?

I basically want to play beats ...
