SP-404 Sample Loading Question (not sx)

Post by miraclejuice »

I'm having trouble with loading wav samples onto my sp. I dragged and dropped onto the top of the memory card folder but when I go to put the memory card in the sp, nothing loads. If it matters they are wav files from frooty loops. I'm stuck and don't know what to do. Help...

Files need to be 16 bit or 8 bit or else they won't load.

44.1 kHz or else they'll play at a modified pitch.

There are some restrictions regarding file names and file extensions, might wanna check the manual on that.

Can't remember if there's a limitation for sample size/time.

I figured out how to load samples into the machine but now it gives me a problem when trying. I do the process of loading samples in from the card but now instead of beginning to load i get a UNS on the sp screen. Does anybody know what is going on when it says that? All the samples are aiff or wave files. And i'm doing nothing different than i did before when it worked.

can somebody post a full video tutorial on how to take a sample and load it into the sp 404. i think that would be a lot of help for a lot of people on here as there are plenty of people who still can't figure this out. start to finish?
