I also use the SP-404SX together with the Behringer 302USB. Yes there is some white noise but after installing the Behringer USB driver, noise level was reduced. Then you have to play around with the SP output gain volume. I made good experience with +12db and the volume pot to ~70%

I have written some MS Excel VBA code lines to edit and export SP-404SX pattern ...
