sp 404 pad life

many probly already know this..

to conserve your pads from going dull use the Sub Pad when laying patterns down instead of hitting the 1-12

can also see how some pads are dull in comparison to others using the sub pad

[timfromtexas]

some people say the sub pad is more sensitive too...

[tape smoke]

^ i think just because its the least used for most people.

but yea my sub is pretty touchy

jeah. and also utilizing the sub pad has a better rhythmic feel for drumming. better than constantly hitting one pad for double ups.

try putting the same sample on 11 and 12 then use 3 fingers for super action, super excitement

When i record a pattern i use the regular pads and it always sound when i stike the pad, but when i listen to it afterwards its not always on the recording. Half a sample maybe came on the recorded pattern, and some samples was recorded and some was not. Has this happened to any one? Is my pads broke or something? This i very frustrating.

I hope you can understand what i mean. (I did the best i could with my very limited english vocabulary).

does it happen when your samples are using gate mode? Gate mode can be tricky.

My tip: when deleting samples from a pattern, speed up the bpm.

Thanks! I´ll try that right away. It will probably work. I bought it used so im always hyper up when something doesnt work, and i think its broke or something. Thanks anyway, jbl!
