SP-FORUMS

What's the delete-mode trick? Twin SP's? What? Does this involve hitting the delete key, and while you're supposed to be previewing pads to select to delete, recording those preview pad presses with another SP? Or is there some other sampler sorcery? HOW HOW HOW?

Thanks, formal! I'll familiarize myself with the 307 and see if we might spark.

Regarding your advice on the SX's much-loved resample button and much-ignored sequencer: YES. Resampled beats are probably what I will be coming back to as long as I'm touching SP. I shouldn't fight it. It makes me ...

Blavatsky, you've tossed me down the rabbit hole of equipment reviews and YouTube tutorials, flailing and floundering into the yawning, twisted pit of operation-manual downloads and SoundCloud tag searches. And there goes my weekend (again). Somehow ended up reading a bunch bunch bunch on TE's OP-1 ...

Thanks, springwater. I downloaded the manual and read it from cover to cover. Assigning midi notes to pads is possible. After careful consideration, I think I still may be jumping the gun (when I really just want an MPC, but can't afford one). I haven't yet mastered every knob and lever on the 404sx ...

Hello, all. Need your advice. My friend's neighbor is selling his Akai xr20 drum machine for $200. It has midi ins and outs and quarter-inch ports for everything, and that's it. Would I be able to use this to sequence samples on my 404sx? How would I go about doing so? Does anyone use one of these ...

I've been wanting to chop up acapellas (or a capellas -- sorry, every English teacher I ever had) and lace them through weird, face-scraping rhythms, but alas, good acapellas are difficult to find.

Anybody interested in posting favorites from their collection here? It would be great to have a ...

Wow. A post from over 2 years ago can still make my morning. Thanks for the O.C.

No dice. The "REMAIN" button was at some point replaced with a "HUMAN REMAINS" button, and there's no way I'm pushing that.

Do you think sampling some gospel might help? Maybe if I chop up Mahalia Jackson, it'll either pacify the thing or draw the demon out. I'm only assuming it's possessed by a ...

@thx The audio clip on that landing page is ripe for sampling. Creepy voice: "Read the webpage. Find the solution." This guy is ridiculously off. Somebody else should sample it. My 404 is still unpredictable.

I've started feeding my SP small rodents and birds. Samples play normal again. Pads ...

Thanks, Rabot. I don't dare play games with my SP. I can already tell from its technical swagger that it would demolish me in any game other than Tic Tac Toe.

Thank you! Hope I'm around long enough to reap the benefits. If someone from this account starts posting in Latin, please alert the police. Not that the cops have any jurisdiction over Satan.

I recently bought a new 404sx after wanting one since before grape soda had bubbles. I perused these fantastic forums and gleaned your wisdom, post by post, sometimes theatrically performing them in the voices I imagine you have.

Yesterday my sampler began doing strange things. I took a shower and ...
