Hi there,
I'm a bit new to this Forum. I just wanted to share some interesting things:
i'm currently developing some super cool mods for the SP-404 SX and the SP-404. These are basically hardware Hacks:

One is the processor-/pitch Mod that allows to change the processor speed and thereby the pitch / sample rate of the machine.
Here is a video that shows how it works/sounds:

A second one is the CV-Mod - it's adding 3 minijack inputs, that allow to manipulate the "Ctrl-knobs 1, 2, 3" via controlvoltage from a modular synth (0-5V)
I'll upload a video to show this mod soon!

I'm also working on detailed build documentations/tutorials.

Please feel free to comment if you have done similar modifications, or if you have any ideas for mods.
Maybe now that a lot of users switch to the newer MK a lot of older SPs could get this threatment to improve their sonic capabilities massively.
Cheers!

Cool idea. Have you written up anything around how to do the mods. What kinds of resistors, crystal diodes, or whatever you've used to make this work?
