Metallic plate
Just got my SP-404. It was really troublesome to get even 1GB CF card - mostly, the 4GB is the smallest available capacity. Finally got the Integral 1GB CF card. Looks like all works as it should. In addition, Drum&Bass should be written using British CF card... Anyway, while heavily jamming the AXE Effect has fall down from somewhere and fall right onto the SP-404 and the end of the metallic plate bended... That's how my SP-404 lost the virginity. Concluding, that metallic part is the weakest...

Re: Metallic plate

Wait, if I understand correctly, an axe fell on your SP?
Or deoderant?

It looks like an aluminum plate. Soft metal... I would prefer a titanium plate, or made from stainless steel at least...

Deodorant of course... If an axe fell down, SP might became a squeezed Pepsi can...

Polish humor... Just "Integral" memory cards are from UK (http://integralmemory.com/)

...I still don't get how a sampler loses it's virginity when a can of deodorant falls on it.

Re: Metallic plate
The thing is, this faceplate is too shiny, like a mirror! Better design have a matte and dark surface. Anyway, I have an idea to make this damn faceplate a chrome-coated! Yep, not that junky vinyl sticker or something, the solid chrome coating!

i just took mine off cuz you said that. i like the raised-up buttons, gives me an artificial feeling of having a little more control.
