og 404 firmware 1.05 update

[creepincomeup]

does anyone know what this update does?

does it alter the sound of the 404 in anyway?

[YAKUL]

What's funny is i just figured this out today i haven't done the update yet but i was having a problem with resampling and knob3 whenever i would turn the knob to increase the fx output it would edit the sample volume instead which sucked it would even show a number value for the volume so the Roland support site says the updates fixes some resample and display issues i downloaded the update but i don't have a card reader so i am lost for the moment

Something else to think about is this resample bug actually is Easier than the subsonic mute trick or replicating ADSR

I updated my 404 to fix the resample problem. Update only takes a minute once you get a card reader. There's nothing to it.

Good to know !! I am waiting on a card reader myself i am having memory card problems can't wait to get ultimately frustrated with that shit

updating runs the risk of ruining your 404 and having to send it to Roland. like myself at this moment. be careful.

UPDATE: they told me how to fix it now its all gravy

Fixed a bug that does not display an error even if Truncate can not execute due to insufficient memory.

When exporting sample of specific condition in WAV format, audio file having a length shorter than the actual playing time was sometimes created.

Setting value -3 dB, 0 dB, 3 dB, 6 dB, 9 dB, 12 dB * When power is turned on, it is always set to 0 dB.
When you select MFX with the "CTRL 3 / MFX" knob while holding down the [MFX] button, you can check MFX change even when the pad lights up.
MFX value can be changed with "CTRL 3 / MFX" knob during resampling.
Fixed that the setting of MIDI synchronous mode returns to the factory default state when inserting a memory card.
Even when samples sampled with "LO - FI" were exported as audio files, the LO - FI feeling similar to that generated on the main unit was correctly reproduced.

Fixed a problem that useless bars were added in playback when using real time erase a lot when creating a pattern.

Update Procedure

Follow the procedure below to install the decompressed system program to SP - 404.
Make the computer and card reader / writer usable.
Insert the memory card into the card reader / writer.
Copy the update files "DCOAPL.BIN" and "DCOAPL2.BIN" in the unzipped folder to the root of the memory card (top level).
Remove the memory card from the memory card reader / writer by the following method.

[Safely Remove Memory Card]
[When using Windows]
Disconnect (stop) connection with the card reader / writer by removing the device displayed in the task bar at the bottom right of the screen. Then, remove the memory card from the card reader / writer.
Turn off the power of SP - 404.
Insert the memory card created above into the card slot of the SP - 404.
When you turn on the SP - 404, the update will start automatically. (The PAD lights up sequentially while updating, and the processing time is counted down on the display.)
The update is completed when the display display becomes "000". (Processing time about 30 seconds).
Turn off the power of the SP - 404 and remove the memory card.
Please check that SP-404 is the latest version after turning on / off the power again.

【Caution】Be sure to delete
the copied "DCOAPL.BIN" file and "DCOAPL2.BIN" file when using the memory card used for the update with SP - 404 normally . If you insert it into SP - 404 without erasing it will be updated every time SP - 404 starts up.

If you leave your machine alone while updating, it should be alright.
Dunno why only roland jp has 1.05 on their site. I installed it years ago, and don't have any problems.
