As the title says... I would love to see a video of this new 'shuffled' quantize on the SP-404sx.

I would really like to know if that shuffle quantize will give more swing to a beat. I am thinking it will, because most shuffle quantizing on my MV will do so, but I am sort of feeling I am missing out on this with my older SP-404.

It's one of the few things that might make me consider buying an SP-404sx too (and sell my older model SP-404).

I'm still in the phase of getting used to this sometimes rugged input quantize though. I am spoiled with the MV8800 in which you can specify strength of quantize and change the quantize lateron as it's non-destructive and all that. :p

No one? Do any of the SP-404sx users even use the new shuffle quantize?

Just you wait. On Friday I'm at home again and will be pleased to quickly make something up for you. Maybe with a housey rhythm or even electro, where shuffle becomes really obvious. No video though, just sound.

i dont have a camera set up for that kind of action... sorry holmes

Audio examples are fine too and I'm looking forward to that example Lonestar. I appreciate it!

Also, the reason why I'm interested in video is, because I then can see the difference between what the user played and how the SP turned it into a shuffle. Either way, I expect the shuffle quantize to be seriously important to get a good groove / swing going. House will be fine.

ill see if i can do something

my 404sx will hopefully be here by tomorrow..

Dope! Yeah, I think I should just go to a store and grab one myself too, or at least try it out to see if the differences are worth it. But I'm digging the few performance related improvements a lot and copying is much less of a hassle, added shuffle quantize is likely to be a buying incentive for me.

Anyways, hope to see/hear some of those audio examples.

Finally, I got around... I just recorded on the go

Didn't care too much about precision to show how errors are recorded

I hope this demonstrates the shuffle quantisation well enough - and it works just like on other machines, except being destructively applied during recording. Shuffle intensity was set to 66.

Wait, what you can adjust the strength of the shuffle as well???!! Nice.

Can you adjust the strength of the normal quantize as well then?

I really appreciate this audio example, it does indeed look like it's massively useful. Thanks.
