Re: chopping samples
You must be on the wrong YouTube then, there are a bunch of vdis on there. Type in sp beatmaking chopping, you'll get something.

Re: chopping samples
I believe your referring to auto-chop, which the 404 does not have. You can use the mark button to isolate certain parts of a loop or sample, this requires making multiple copies of the same sample using the pattern copy trick though. Welcome to the world of hands on, welcome to the forum too.

Re: chopping samples
I made a vid on how to chop. It is the same process on the 404.
