Some questions from a 404 user

hey guys, I've had the SP404SX for a few years and I love it. It's one of the most fun electronics I own. I mainly use it for chopping up drum breaks and having complete control over each drum sound (a playable kick, snare, closed hat, open hat on their own pads on the bottom) and the rest of the ...

Re: Guitar Amp that the SP404 sounds good through?

I have a pair of studio monitors, but I can't really play the SP as loudly as I can FL studios on the monitors. IMO the SP has sounded the best when playing through my car stereo.

so i tried this keyboard amp https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0010KGD4Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ...

Re: Guitar Amp that the SP404 sounds good through?

Some years ago I was playing in a freenoise punkrock shoegaze band, live sampling on stage, jamming samples and feedback.
I was using my favourite guitar amp, a dual channel 80 watt tube amplifier. It was always really clean sounding because the two 12" speakers were built to withstand 100 watts ...

Guitar Amp that the SP404 sounds good through?

I've messed around and hooked up the sp404 to a few different combo guitar amps, and the drums sounded really fat and nice.. but the samples always sounded way too distorted.

i'm wondering if anyone knows a clean guitar amp that the 404 sounds good through.

i've done a little research and it looks ...

Re: Pad space and memory cards?

If you've got the 404sx you can save full banks as backups. Then delete everything, re fill with samples and save those banks as a backup in a different slot. Up to 12 slots i think. You can re-load the backups but it will replace everything currently in the banks, but if you've backup saved your ...
