Via page 39 of the 404 manual. The spd file is the 404's proprietary format. Convert em to wav/aif first.Here’s how to convert a sample to an audio file and write it to a
memory card.
1.
Make sure that [PATTERN SELECT] is not lighted.
If it’s lit, press [PATTERN SELECT] to switch it off.
2.
Hold down [CANCEL] and press [RESAMPLE].
“FiL” (File I/E) appears in the display, and [REC] and
[RESAMPLE] begin blinking.
3.
Press [RESAMPLE]. “EXP” (File Export) appears in the
display, [REC] lights, and [RESAMPLE] goes out.
4.
Select the export-source sample bank.
Press one of the BANK [A]–[F/J] buttons. The button you
pressed lights, and that bank (A–F) is selected. If you press a
BANK [C/G]–[F/J] button once again, the button starts
blinking, and a G–J bank is selected.
Pads to which a sample is assigned begin blinking.
5.
Select the export-source pad.
The pad you pressed lights, and the remaining pads stop
blinking. Also, [REC] begins blinking.
You can select multiple pads if they are within the same sample
bank. Press any pad that was blinking at step
4
to select it.
6.
Press [REC] so it’s lit.
During the export operation, the dot in the display will blink.
When the export is complete, the blinking will cease.
If there is an identically-named audio file in the root directory
of the memory card, it will be overwritten.
