SP404MK2 Step Sequencing?

Been considering this unit, reading review and so on. Some reviews criticise it for lack of a step sequencing/editing mode, saying you're reliant on realtime recording (albeit with quant) to create patterns. Other reviews say you can create and edit patterns on a step level.

So, does the SP404MK2 allow this or not? Thanks for clarity!

Nope, wasn’t AI at all

Hi guys, posted a visually altered video yesterday, and some guy thought the performance was all AI, so allow me to post the og video to deny that. 😊

Yuji Ohno x Life’s A Bitch

Beat cooked up on the P6 of course. Exported to the laptop to add the acapella… this beat might end up on the P6 tape as well depending on its reception

Distorted audio when recording out from 404mk2 via usb?

I have a weird issue.. I can sample audio from my phone to the 404 thru usb and it sounds normal. But any time I record the audio from the 404 to my phone thu usb no matter the app (video recording/open camera/koala/others) the audio comes out distorted like it's in the wrong sample rate/bit crushed

Even if I don't use any effects on the master bus.

I've tried updating firmware and restoring factory settings etc.

Anyone else have this issue?

Premier Record

On voit beaucoup de Hip hop / lofi avec les SP 404, je suis pas super à l'aise a l'idée de poster des trucs aussi différents et en plus, en cours de construction, mais j'ai tellement appris ici que ...

Extrait du premier enregistrement avec cette config (et en dehors de chez moi), donc avec un minimum de matériel et uniquement au casque, c'(est que du Jam, j'ai meme pas branché le midi.

-Histoire de prendre en main le Zoom H4N et voir comment ça réagit avec les niveaux etc.
-Mettre à l' épreuve l'organisation sur mes deux SP 404

Config au minimum , pas de multi effet , ni de Kaoss pad :(

How do yall mix on it?

I've never been interested in mixing, but im getting ok at making beats and everything sounds like a combination of being either too loud or too quiet. What effects do yall use to get everything sounding perfect. I prefer not having to use a daw at all!

Input FX on the SP-404MK2 aren’t just for basic compression or vinyl sim, they’re weapons for real‑time sound design.

In this video you’ll learn how to use the input FX section for creative live processing, so you can turn any performance into a live FX playground, pushing your dawless setup way beyond standard workflows.

Have fun!

Something Different I’ve been working on

Been having fun mixing synths and traditional instruments with this track. I sampled my own drumming and guitar/electric bass in addition to grabbing some samples from my modular rig. There’s still a lot I wanna do, but I’m liking the direction it’s going so far.

House transitions part 2

I’ve been experimenting again with different transition techniques on the SP404. This time alternating between samples (same bank) and different drum loops.
