live volume

I have a sp 404 and when I am playing live with my band I find that the volume of my samples are not loud enough even when I try and turn them up on the sp 404. is there anyway to remedy this (other than turning up my amp)? or am I going to have to get on my computer and turn up the volume of all of them before i put them on the sampler?

thanks

i would suggest maybe getting two 100/200 watt keyboard amps and running each the left and the right respectively with out using wires that require adapters meaning the wire is one end has a stereo connection and the other 1/4 inch jack put those cabs on either side of the drummer wherever it sounds good between the other amps on or on the side or whatever. im assuming your band has a live drummer and guitar players ? hope any of that helps

You can raise the internal processing volume of the sp-404 by holding down Cancel+Start/Level/End and adjusting the Cntrl knob 3.

or is it only a certain volume "limit">?

I'm not sure since I have a 303 which doesn't do this Sarge. Just play with it, it's probably defaulted to -3db to account pan law and what not.

I read in the manual , if you dont want to explode the sound system that might not belong to you, turn on the fx limiter.

i almost got a smack from a dude when i accidently turned on my mic with huge concert speakers around me running into a pro tools digi desk. everyone was like booooo!! i was like sorry man.
