dude call me a noob or call me what you will but i just finally learned how to use the quantize funtion hahahaha i can make any frickin damn beat on time even if i dont play it on time it does it for me holly shite man im a frickin noob but watch it now im a noob with beats on time haha i find i like 8th notes myself haha well sorry im just so happy with my sp 555 atm i can kiss the damn thing haha still havent figured out how to use the pattern select to make a whole song with 16 pads but alls i know is im knockin some one pad beats out sounding dope back to the manual and google haha =) PEACE!!

ahah, you just found that out?? Well at least you figured it out. I bet you were having a hell of a time with your 555 before. I make beats sometimes without the quantize function, in fact sometimes the quantize messes with me and I have to turn it off.

Glad you found that.. lol

yeah i can be slow at times but ill get it lol only had the 555 since late june more i learn the better it gets....

N00b !

lolz

with this new knowledge and your understanding of avatars, you'll be UNSTOPPABLE muhahaha

I remember when I was learning beats many moons ago, I went a long time without applying swing to my drums on my ASR. I'm talkin like a little youngin lookin at my machine like when I finally figured it out. Damn, I remember feelin like a total noob . But nowadays quite a few years later, I toggle between even usin it at all and not. Sometimes my prefrence is "free hand" style, especially on the 404. Peace, Duss

Slow Clap-Clap--Clap--Clap--Clap....

imo if you're gonna go without quantize on the 404 it's a lot easier to get some other pads that have less "travel" and trigger it from that, like a padkontrol. i love the 404, and learning how to bang on the pads is part of the charm, but i loves me some padkontrol. =)

so what am i the new kid on the block haha ive had the sp for like 3 months but learning new shit is like whaaaaaaaaaaaat!!! i find it very satisfying. lolz

lmao!
