I know it's been ages since updating the guide (like a year)... and I have some more ideas for it still... I did get a small update into it though https://www.patreon.com/posts/sp404-mk2-guide-144093741
I've changed a few URLs to reduce my personal overhead, but kind of left things in a weird state ...

Re: All samples drop bass while int exit source
Sounds like you have an effect on one of your bus FX doing something.
Have you checked your bus 3/4 settings... maybe set to bypass?
I'd also check if you're running a pattern on the SP404 mk2, perhaps you've accidentally recorded some motion record that is trigger bus 1/2 fx...
beyond that ...

Re: new update
2.x -> 3.x was a simply massive update with sorely needed functionality honestly...
3.x -> 4.x is not as big an update from a functionality standpoint, but it absolutely address some much needed workflow changes/fixes, and streamlines a lot of the stranger design decisions to make things a lot more ...

Re: Loop point in trim mode
Yeah, there's definitely room for improvement for how we edit start/loop/end points... and even without loop on, it might be nice to see where the marker is so that it is more obvious what is happening.
Just my 2 cents though.

NearTao's Acid Drop
I hope everybody has or will have a Happy Holidays! For anybody who's interested, I've made an Acid inspired sample pack! It's taken a couple of months or so to put together, but I wanted to get something out to the community as a special thank you for hanging out and making music.
