How do we do this?
cheers-

Post an Ad on craigslist for $150 for your OG 404. Save up $100.

Spend $150 + the $100 you saved, now buy a 404sx on craigslist.

There's no way to convert your old 404 to a new one.

sorry that was silly- of course I am talking about the files not the hardware. I bought an SX yesterday.
Thanks

You need the OG 404 to convert files. Basically you just export all the pads to WAV files. Then put the CF card in the computer and drag n drop.

1.
Make sure that [PATTERN SELECT] is not lighted.
If it’s lit, press [PATTERN SELECT] to switch it off.
2.
Hold down [CANCEL] and press [RESAMPLE].
“FiL” (File I/E) appears in the display, and [REC] and
[RESAMPLE] begin blinking.
3.
Press [RESAMPLE]. “EXP” (File Export) appears in the
display, [REC] lights, and [RESAMPLE] goes out.
4.
Select the export-source sample bank.
Press one of the BANK [A]–[F/J] buttons. The button you
pressed lights, and that bank (A–F) is selected. If you press a
BANK [C/G]–[F/J] button once again, the button starts
blinking, and a G–J bank is selected.
Pads to which a sample is assigned begin blinking.
5.
Select the export-source pad.
The pad you pressed lights, and the remaining pads stop
blinking. Also, [REC] begins blinking.
You can select multiple pads if they are within the same sample
bank. Press any pad that was blinking at step
4
to select it.
6.
Press [REC] so it’s lit.
During the export operation, the dot in the display will blink.
When the export is complete, the blinking will cease.

Thank you!!
worked like a charm-
