Hi,

I just got a SP404 and I'm willing to use an external device to use it thanks to the MIDI connection. I easily found how to play a given pad with MIDI but I couldn't figure out how to lunch a pattern ?

Is there a way to do that ? is that even included in the MIDI implementation ?

Thanks

J.

I don't know if patterns work the same as the pads for playing, but if so you probably just have to figure out what MIDI Note that is and sync 'em up. I can't help you much more than that cause I'm just a MIDI noooob.

i dont think the patterns can be launched by midi.
only the samples.

Yep, that's what I was afraid of. I kind of tried all the midi notes and none of them would triggered any of the patterns...

Thanks anyway for your replies.

Hello and brand new to the site! Just bought an SP-404SX for my band and love it but trying to work it into our system and have questions. I get what you said but how do you play samples on the 404sx from a midi keyboard? Let's say I sampled a whole song on pad 1 of the 404sx and I want my keyboard to trigger it from it's sequencer. And I also have second song on pad 2 that I want to play when I switch to my second song on my playlist. Is this possible to do? Make all the changes from my keyboard so the 404sx knows the next song?
