New Sampler Day - Roland SP404

Post by UlricvonCatalyst » Sat Nov 18, 2017 6:48 am

Took delivery yesterday of a 404 which I was lucky enough to win for a song at auction (eBay hint: don't use the title field to highlight the shortcomings of your item).

It's a bit tatty with some of the legending worn off, but I've had a hankering for one of these for a while and am in no way disappointed, having been able to get it up and running and do a few test samples without recourse to the manual, which is a good sign.

Sample trimming and some of the other fine points such as accessing all the FX will require some reading, but overall I'm happy, especially as I paid less than half what they usually sell for.

Looking forward to using this on my work-in-progress project and beyond.

I just heard this compilation I am really into it, YMMV but it sounds to me like a community of people using sp404 and sp303 https://lofihiphop.bandcamp.com/album/lofi-hiphop-009
