Once you make a pattern in sp4040sx, you can turn into a loop?
if so, how can I do???
thanks

If you wish to resample a pattern and make it into a single sample, it's not possible within the SP-404sx. If you record the pattern into another machine (DAW, tape deck, multitracker) you can then reverse the process - and sample the audio from the other machine back into the SP-404sx and put it as a sample/audio loop on a single pad.

I believe this is a pretty common complaint with the SP-404sx.

If I recall the 505 and 303(?) can resample pattern (and sample + input together).

I'm sure someone can verify my terrible memory and correct me, but I think this is true.

"The only noticeable limitations are that you can't resample across banks (as you can on Roland's SP808) and you can't play the sequencer and resample at the same time. Now that would be fun..."
