SP-FORUMS

You can also load your own samples (13 seconds) to five kits, even loading recordings from tracks on the BR-864.

....so basically you can planify a sort of resampling with this feature....interesting...

Yeah, I haven't gotten into it yet because I have other new gear I've been messing with too ...

There are buttons beneath the faders that trigger the samples, you can switch banks too. Google the manual, you'll be surprised by all the features it has.

ha, word. I'll just say makes drums bang in a different but equally awesome way. The DBX comp really gives the drums punch. The UREI is a bit boomier.

It also has lo-fi recording options.

I am amazed by this unit. It has an easy to use built in drum machine (step sequencer and real time recording) with a very nice 808 kit included. You can also load your own samples (13 seconds) to five kits, even loading recordings from tracks on the BR-864.

The effects processor is amazing ...

Oops, I meant to say vinyl sim "compressor." I think the compressor sounds the best.

Anybody else agree? I've owned both & I just like the way the 404 sounds. I'm just curious how many other people think so too. I like the OG 404's effects the most out of the whole SP range. I used to be a 606 fanboy.

I have already have another one, this one was for safe keeping.

& you can always move the points as sloppily as you want

You can do that on the other SP's though.. actually, hard panning is all you can do. I was thinking more for mixing in the box. You can pan the snare a little to the right, high hat a little to the left, etc.. add the master compressor, record through the digital out to your favorite DAW & you have ...

You can actually pan your mono samples. This along with the best effects out of all the SP's and professional 1/4 inch inputs & outputs makes the 606 the best SP.
