SP-FORUMS

Yeah.. Thanks, but I'll pass.
I find Pattern Mode very clunky and not that good. Besides, my issue is that I wanted to be able to resample a quantized beat onto a pad without using external recorder. If I am going to use Ableton to record the patterns I might as well stay in Ableton. Its perfect as ...

I wish I saw this thread earlier..

I have spent the last month trying to connect my MPD to my SX. I bought a MIDI Cable and Power supply for the akai.. Then I spent the rest of the time trying to figure out why I was unable to get those two to play nice. I finally managed to update the MPD's ...

I managed to fix the issue

I noticed that AKAI support provides update to the MPD232 firmware to some users with similar issues (v1.01), but it is not officially released. So I asked them about it, they provided the update and now it works flawlessly!

I have to say connecting those two devices ...

Hi,

This is the first video I ever made playing my SX since I got it a month ago. I layered the ambient room sound with the recording I made while I was playing for better bass representation. I hope you like it and I'd love to hear your feedback.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I've read this post before I created my topic and I already did everything in the post. My issue becomes apparent after I connect and setup the two devices.

I really need help with this one...

There are a lot of people here, who connect the 404 with another machine via midi. I am sure that some of those guys would at least have some ideas.

that's what i've been doing in my iPhone. i'll bring up the notes section and type out where's what in it. I saw Tajima Hal using this method on one of those LeMellotron vids

That set is the reason I got into the SP-404

Hello,

I tried to connect my SX to my MPD232 so that I can use the note repeat/quantize function. Just to give an idea where I am - I already bought a separate MIDI cable and Power Supply for the MPD, so there is no USB cable plugged in. I also managed to connect the two devices (MIDI OUT on the ...

I see...

I can't hide I'm a bit disappointed, but this is the charm of this sampler - the restrictions.. at least this is what they say

I kinda figured out the layering method but I was hoping to be able to apply different effects on the different layers, without having to resample and ...

Hello all,

I bought my first sp-404sx less than a month ago and I am yet to make my first beat on it. Originally. I bought the SX to be able to play my beats live, but since I already have it I might as well challenge myself and try to make a couple of beats.

I come from Ableton Live + MPD232 ...
