r/sp404mk2

Hi everyone.

I updated to v5.50 today and I'm having a really annoying problem.

Every time I'm in looper mode and try to consolidate my loop (by pressing the copy button to a new pad), the SP404MK2 freezes on that screen, requiring me to unplug the device to restart it (simply turning it off with the button doesn't work). Is anyone else having this problem?

Hello and Happy 404 day!

Does anyone know how to resample a melody with a sidechain 'ducking' effect, but without the drums being audible? Is that possible?

Cheers!

Hey! I've always loved DJing the traditional way with vinyl, and the DJ Mode on the SP has been a really fun extension of that. I feel like I've got a decent handle on most of the features, but the bus effects are still a bit of a mystery to me — particularly whether there's a way to EQ tracks within the mode itself. Would love to hear any tips or tricks you guys have picked up. Appreciate any help!

Happy 404 to everyone! Here’s my beat: Dune & Pyramid. I’m new here

I'm going crazy, and it's not easy to find this information online. I hope this hasn't been explained elsewhere already, but I haven't found anything.

Let me explain. Let's take for granted that it's possible to sample while a sample is playing on another pad via external sources (EXTIN).

Let's take for granted that I can record a pattern and then "bake" it into a sample using COPY.

But my doubt is whether it's possible to do this: I have a sample on Pad 2. I have samples on Pads 4 and 5.

I would like to loop Sample 2 in the "background" and resample Pads 4 and 5 while Pad 2 is running.

The result should be a resample of only Pads 4 and 5... without Pad 2.

Is it possible?

Tnx for any advice!

Hi, I just purchased my MK2 and I'm struggling to figure out how to adjust the measures to anything other than 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and infinity in the resample screen.

I want to make a 6-bar loop for example. I've tried recording my 6 bars into an 8-bar loop and then simply trimming off the excess 2 measures. However, it's impossible to get that trimmed to a perfect 6-bar loop. I'm basically just cross-checking different acapellas at the same bpm as my 6-bar loops and adjusting the trim until it lines up. Obviously one could use trial and error until it comes out, but it's tedious AF and far from efficient.

I like to use the resampling workflow rather than the pattern sequencer. However, I haven't touched the pattern sequencer much, and I presume there may be a way to do it through there. If anyone has some ideas or if I'm missing something crucial, please let me know.

Thanks!

p.s. I just posted my first beat/remix on my channel linked in my Reddit bio. I'd appreciate any tips or feedback on how you think I'm doing.
