The pads are not as good as the MPC pads for example. Also you need to use 404 pads for a bit to get them broken in. When they are new they are stiff. The writing on the pads will wear away soon, but the pads should last a while. I've seen some photos of 404s with really wore out pads that still work. I think only a couple members here have actually needed to replace them.

So it could be end up without those numbers on them, but 90% they will work - if its true, thats good

for me, best pads are..iphone or ipad..sensoric display with multitouch..no sound of pressing, perfect for quick runs through different..speed runs i mean.. software with hardware interface heh..oops here i ll shut down

I developed a different technique for the sp404 compared to how I play on mpc/mpd pads. You have to use more wrist, hand, finger technique rather than beating the shit out of it. Also the knobs should be treated with a different technique as well, I ownd my control knob 3 pot goin mad on the looper

i've never had any problem with the pads on the 404.

lord knows mine are unsanitary

There's no surface space on my desk so things like pad grids and blank bits of casing become drink holders
