hey I've been lurking this forum for quite sometime and copped a 404 just last weekend. It's dope as hell and I'm in love with it already. I was wondering though, how would I get my tracks from the 404 on the computer?

...or...press "Cancel+Resample" to convert a sample/or loop to WAV or AIFF, then hit "Resample" to export it to your CF card, then remove the CF card from the 404 and use a USB Card Reader and drag the file from your card to your computer. Next use software such as Ableton Live, GarageBand, Audacity, Logic, or whatever else and edit/sequence/rock...etc.

Also, I'm still in love with the pattern copy maneuvre using a card reader and renumbering the pattern...that hint was HOTTTTTT.... Talk about making life sooo easy...I go balls out on my pattern(ie. make it the biggest it's going to get), number that one high, copy and paste and change the pattern number...re-insert the cf card, edit the patterns.... and go down each pattern in number, removing parts until i have the skeleton of the pattern...then, when I play them back in order, it sounds like the pattern is building up...

Maybe that makes sense...I'm writing too fast probably..

i think i saw that but never tried it out. i think i will now, the way you described it sounds nice. so what EXACTLY do i copy/paste then renumber again? (which file is it, or how would i recognize it in the folder)
