Re: noise/hum question about the sp-404sx

have kind of a similar problem, but not as bad. since I've had my 404sx, when I power it on, I hear a very high pitched hum noise, but its not very loud. However, it only hums when the volume knob is all the way down. When the volume knob is at 12 o 'clock or louder, i don't hear the hum at all. Its ...

Re: I need a detailed Vinyl Sim comparison.

I know your talking about the Flutter parameter, but one main difference in the VINYL SIM effect on the 404 OG vs the 404sx:

-on the 404 OG, the CNTRL 1 knob changes the amount of compression (CMP)

-on the 404sx, the CNTRL 1 knob changes the frequency response (RNG) (more of a filtering effect ...

Re: New used sp404sx looping problem

just wanted to update this, because this issue that zosomagik is talking about drives me crazy:

But on this new one I just got, the timing of the loop will be perfect, but there's always a duck in volume right before the loop comes around again. I've tried making multiple loops from different ...

Re: Making good drum kits from scratch


don't forget sometimes it's easier to just choose something/accept something you hear and take the best out of it instead of searching for a sound that you didn't hear yet if that makes any sense..

envelope is everything when chopping drums....

Re: Making good drum kits from scratch

cool, thanks guys! yeah i guess in chopping loop breaks I usually don't chop them to individual hits, but I'm going to experiment with that. I think I've tried it but then my kick and snare usually sound like they are cut off. I'm gonna try it though, and maybe try to use filters and adjust envelope ...

Making good drum kits from scratch

Hi,

I have a decent library of drum sounds, but I can never create a set of kick, snares and hats that sound like they match together. Does anyone have some advice on how I can match drum sounds so they sound like a good wholesome drum kit? Im just going for some fat drums for boom bap style beats ...
