hey peeps, i bought my 404!!
Now just after getting it off ebay...im sittin here waiting for it to come. and i realise a silly mistake i have made.
Im from Australia, and the Sampler is coming from America. Of corse the differant powerpoints is one problem...that can be remedied with a convertor or a new cord, but if Aussie powerpoints put out 240v, then what do the American SPs require/take? Or are they the same anywhere around the world as long as i have the genuine Roland SP cable?

The 404's are all the same, it's just the power cables/supplies that are different. The Power supply takes whatever comes out your wall socket and converts it for use by the 404.

in my sp-404 (buying in buenos aires argentina) in my country change all the instruments power cord for others)
but....in my sp-555 (buying in miami) i use the original power cord perfectly
here have 220v

i think it might be universal. mine is but i bought it in japan.

I have a 404 with a U.S. power supply. Apparently it uses 100-240 volts. Here are some pictures I took.

Thanks loopar Xl, the photos are helpful! Looks like ill be alrite then. So im thinkin all i need for it to work is somethin to convert it from the american style plug to the Australian one...il just be able to use the power supply that comes with it.
