SP-FORUMS

Dang I'm so pissed. I went to the roland dealer here (in vietnam) and I just got told that if I wanted it I'd have to take their old shitty loaner and then wait 4 months for Roland Japan to build a 404 and send it to Vietnam. WTF?! Apparently they build them per order in this case.

So I asked my ...

Dude the 303 and 404 both hi and lo sound almost identical. Now I have no idea why people swear by the 303's sound vs the 404s, because they're actually not that far off from one another. Maybe I have untrained ears, but really, can't tell much of any difference at all even after playing them over ...

So, I was wondering if it mattered if I used a double sided 3.5mm cable vs a 3.5/RCA cable for sampling from my TV and such. Does it matter? Sorry for such a newb question, just didn't find an answer anywhere

Thanks for the input guys. I'm pulling the trigger in a couple of days.

V8000- What do you mean by needing external power? It doesn't come with a power adapter?

Alright so I'm just about to pull the trigger on purchasing an SP404sx. I'd just like to know beforehand if there are any known problems with the unit. For example, I've read the ins/outs on the SP303 had problems to where people would have to go in and solder the connections themselves.

Are there ...

I tried using the search function for this but it kept coming back with an error. Looked on google and didn't find much either.

What are you guys doing to mimic adjustments to attack and delay?

Thanks

Yeah, I'm really trying to shake this MPC bug. Initially the only reason why I bought the MPC was because of the legendary aura behind it and that whole MPC or nothing sorta movement. Really though the best beats I've made were on ableton using just my qwerty.

One thing that really bugged me was I ...

Wow, really appreciate the responses. Very helpful information. Yeah, I guess that is one thing that I don't really like about the SP. I had an MPC 1000 for like 2 months before but I had to sell it cuz times were rough, haha. It integrates very well with software and already has some of the ...

Hi, I'm in the market for an SP-404 and I'm collecting what info I can just to see if it's right for me. I've read around that the SP-404 can receive Midi velocity data, but I am absolutely new to this and I just want to be 100% sure that I am perceiving this info in the correct way.

Will I be able ...
