Hi guys! I'm from Italy and finally I've buy a SP404 but.....I GOT A LOTS OF PROBLEMS!!!....shit....

First of all, problem importing file in the CF. Sometimes done, sometimes SP says "FULL", sometimes "UNS"....all files are renamed C_01.wav ecc..and are 16 bit 44.1 rate.
2) When I finally can import files in sp 404, I'v tried play samples pad. The first time the sound, but if I try again, display show that samples exist, but I can't hear any sound! or sound is distrorted or cut!!...I'm going crazy with this sp404, & I'm not happy to spent 300 euro for a malfunctional toy. Can you help guys?
Cheers

P.S. I'hope my english is clear enought to understand me....

SP-404 itself denifitely isnt a "malfunctional toy".
Most of the problems with sps are connected with those compact flash cards.

My advice is: Buy another ( maybe a little bit more expensive but quality [brand-name] card like e.g. Sandisk. )
Try it with your sp.
You should also check whether you have the most up-to date firmware istalled.
But still, I guess this issue is caused by your CF card.

do you think it's ok with a CF sandisk 1gb Ultra III?
It's difficult to find a Sandisk Ultra II/I 1GB.... :shock:

I think you should rather look for those of type I, cuz in the roland homepage's faq section it's written:

NOTE: All the above CF cards are of TYPE I, and no TYPE II CF card is compatible with the SP-404.

Better spend more time on searching, than more money on a not compatible card

You can look also for other brands like kingston, lexar, canon etc.

I had that UNS too, that was because I tried to import stereo and not mono

Ok guys....situation is this one:
1) I've found a CF Nikon 16 mb. It's works well finally!!!! At the moment it's very hard to find a CF less than 2 GB :evil:

2) I've also a CF LEXAR 128 mb but the SP don't recognize it. When I insert the CF in the SP and try to format, SP doesn't work and looks like CF is not insert.... :shock:

any suggestion?

...I'm going postall!!....

Have you tried the Internet? Lots of things for sale there... If you don't have a credit card go buy a pre-paid one. Like for instance: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-SDCFH-102 ... B0000CD0B7

Just sayin'...
