Don't know what to do with my SP

In all seriousness I run my iPod thru it to have it on speakers. I make beats on my 303 and process drums.

I have 2 404s and I like to wear them on my feet. The pads are soft and they light up like oldschool LA gears!

I play the d-beam with muh balls, just lay it on the floor and teabag away a melody.

For some reason youtube has flagged and removed my tutorial on it

I like to do maths with SPs. Combining my 606 with a 404 makes a Roland SP-1010. Add in a 555 & you get a Roland SP-1565. Divide it by a 303 & you get a Roland SP-5.1650165016501650165016501650165.

The lofi mode on that combo is the lowest-fi known to mankind, shit sounds dank. The FX even cross from one sense to another, turn it on and you can even see in lofi. My favourite is to touch stuff with vinyl sim on. You name it, it feels like real vinyl! You should try it one day.

If you don't know what to with your SP, please give it to me.

404 has 12 pad

use built in mic and sample yourself saying:

PAD 1: I love
PAD 2: Cigarettes
PAD 3: Monnnnney
PAD 4: Brocoli
PAD 5: #yolo
PAD 6: Jonwayne
PAD 7: ........adskgjbsdkjfgh

You can use 8 to 12 as you want.

Just make youself some wack raps while someone is beatboxiong.

Also DONT lose those factory loaded samples, they are all you need to make Ill Beatz

if you're making music on a DAW you can use your 404 to color your samples before they are imported to your hard drive.

the 404 is great for layering drums and just for punching up drum samples..

use ableton to produce music but put a sp-303 on your album cover. people will think it sounds warm when it really doesn't.

Thank you for the replies.

I know this sounds strange but could one save their own life with an SP?

hahaha (just thinking out of the box like you lot )

But really, I am seriously looking at new uses for the SP which pushes it into new sonic territories. About getting into the nitty gritty of the technology in the machine!!!

Please push more thoughts into this thread, thanks

The delay slowly changes as it repeats. I guess u could delay a sample on the sx (which has a setting to keep delay from getting to freaked out) and just let it sit for a few months. Let that sample age for a few shits. see what it sounds like in autumn

Make a 3 hour mix of relaxing music that ends with a loud alarm clock sound. Nap mix. This thread brought me that idea and now I'm seriously going to make a nap mix. By the way, thanks for the laughs, guys.

I was making some beats at the park and a guy asked me if my 404 was a ham radio. Maybe it is a ham radio
