HI just bought a 404 i have 1 problem thoug. when i resample long material, about 4-9 seconds some, (i sample a longer bit then resample to chop up) the samle kind of like jumps, skips a part?

does it spike in volume suddenly? i noticed when i have compression and one or two other effects on there is weird spikes sometimes... skipping? i donno... are you sampling with an effect on or resampling with one on?

same thing happens to me, usually with loops or long samples like you said. it's kinda frustrating, i yearn to know the meaning....

It could be your memory card. Do you have another one to try out?

it happens with or without effects.


im getting a new memory card this week, ill try that, the one i got with it, bought it seconhand, like my vinylcollection is some weird brand, like my vinyl collection i will get back to this topic.

have you tried another card by the way?

no, maybe i should though. i have two but one didn't work.

I don't know for a fact that a faulty memory card can cause this, but if this happened to me it would be the first thing I would check.

If you have a reg 404 try using the internal memory instead of the mem card maybe

i had this problem once or twice, i figured i was not holding the button down quite hard enough, and must have let go just enough for the button to skip without starting the sample again.

i guess if it keeps happening then you have a more serious problem.

when u resample its not good to resample everything in stereo. if u sample everything in stereo from sample to drums and try to play all at once it phases each other out causin the skippin. i normally sample drums in mono and hihats but the samples in stereo. i was gettin the skippin as well at first but that ended when i did that.

it went better with the new card:)

It has to do with the speed your memory card writes at. when i use my cheap ATP it skips occasionally. If i use my nice Sandisk Extreme III there is no problem. I usually need it in my camera though, since i find the speed beneficial. when it skips on the 404 i just gota re do it... BIG problem if im doing live takes or whatever spending a lil extra on a fast card can pay off in workflow benifits
edit: i see you got a new card lol cool man good luck
