due to the volume knobs always going out. as much i spent repairing them volume knobs couldve bought a new 404. lol and roland takes forever to ship the ports for the volume knobs. plus i got that traktor 2 w/ s4 and machine. think will try having a new live set up. just tuff leaving the 404 >>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtsvOyURvQs

A)use less the knobs
or
B)take a solid 303!!

no, seriously, dibiase, c'mon man, don't do it, man, what are you saying, leave the sp?!? no, stop this, no, no ,no (shawn penn song)...
plus, you leave sp for a maschineee!?!?! no, no question, stop this, i repeat, STOP THIS, don't joke man...

ps

hope he will be convinced with this.
if not, guys, make a quote of this 100 times!!

let me rephrase once i get another 404 0r sx i will stilll run a 404 through the s4 controller. but i cant complete leave the 404. but at the moment by default. because the volume is low and its not a simple fix this time. and my lady 404 is trippin too. and 303 third knob is trippin.

I hope you don't abandon the SP! So many dudes are rocking laptops, its good to see someone tear the roof off with just a little hardware box. Understand you do what you gotta do...you are just obviously a SP hero around these parts.

Real talk: As many SP-404 units that have been sold due to you, Roland should be giving you free ones.

no lie i had the maschine and the production was super fast but i felt like i was over producing tracks with how much is offered.
The soul of hip hop and other forms is the heaviness in the vibe not in the production.
either way you go man you wont lose the swag.

Heck yeah, it's about time for Roland to release that SP-707 they've been secretly working on!!

It's too bad that some of these machines don't seem to work forever, but I guess that's just what it is.

Do what you gotta do D! Don't be held back if the SP is holding you back! I'm going the Octatrack route. Looking at the Mini KP2 as well.

Heretic!

In regards to this, Dibiase, check your email ASAP! Urgent!

good lookin out adam. if anything hopefully i get the 404's fixed, but if anything else happens that would be insane

sp is good for a certain sound of beats i like makin , but its good to experiment with different equipment/software and possibly use them all like voltron combining.lol

I'm thinking Roland should be getting your input for a SPdibiase404LE.[/quote] haha !!! i wish. that would be cool if they some of the homies or me doing demos with an sp. after seeing the akai reps using the akai ren. at namm.
