404 replacement pads

[Max Baer]

Is there any way to get replacement pads for a 404sx? Mine keep getting jammed

thats weird, im sure roland will sell u one if u ring up. u mean theyre getting stuck under the edge of the case? or what?

Kinda, like when im playing on them some just get stuck down for a bit. Its not a huge deal but it seems to happen more when im resampling or recording a pattern and it can get pretty annoying. Plus on some of the pads i have to press harder or find the right spot to play the sound. I recently played on a new 404 and the pads felt way easier to play than mine....Ill try hitting roland up tho

is yours second hand? sounds like its worth opening it up to see if theres any gunk under the pads, like if someone spilt a drink in it or got a bunch of dirt in it or something, that could cause those problems.. Just take a look at the board under the pads (and the back side of the pads), give it a clean with some isopropyl alcohol (cd/glasses cleaner)
