New software update 1.05

[Thomas A.]

Hi!

On the german Roland website I've found a brand new update (June 2007) for the SP-404:

Unfortunately, there is no change log.

cool, wonder what it does

[J.Daniels]

what it does is that it Updates nur über CF-Karte (PC mit Card-Reader vonnöten). Die Werksdaten (2,15MB) können Sie hier auch herunterladen.

please god let 'herunterladen' mean velocity sensitivity

[cartesia]

actually thats just instructions about how to patch it not about the update

google translation:

only over CF-map (PC with Card reader necessary). The work data (2,15MB) can also download you here.

As much as I wish it would be velocity sensitive there's no way that could be done in a software update

If it had the hardware to do this, it would've from the start

Unfortunately not, "herunterladen" is the german phrase for "downloading" In fact, there are only informations about the update process, not about the functionality of the update.

has anyone tried this?

isnt it weird that there are 2 update files..?

Here I've found more detailled informations regarding the 1.05 update:

Ooh how sweet you can even re download those crappy factory settings for the sp-404 for the German website.

How do they find out about such random issues? I really dont think any of these updates will effect anyones workflow....

none the less, it is an update and it does show that roland hasnt done an akai on us

[pt3r]

Yessir! Akai's support to its customers is downright ridiculous.
