The Roland SP404 is a cool little work station for under $400. You can sample with the internal microphone, or plug in a microphone, or use the RCA line in on the back for your turntables or what ever you want. You can also import/export industry-standard WAV and AIF sample files via Compact Flash card from 32MB-1GIG. Cones with built-in 5 minutes of sample time or 11 minutes at lo-fi a feature used to bass out a sample. You get 29 effects, cool BPM light that blinks in sync to the BPM, quick sample edit to catch any part of the sample and real time sequencing. We got ours in Tokyo recently and had to go online to get the manual after searching on Roland's website we found this 1.04 update that fixes sample export problems. In this video we cover everything about the buttons on the front and how to use them, then we show you the best way to use the back to plug up some gear, then we sample some sounds, we use the internal microphone and also use the line in to sample, we import some files with our compact flash card, you can get it in our online store, then we use the sample edit and show you what to do and how to do it right. Next we sequence up a track with our samples. Then it's on to The SP404 DVD part 2 where we do everything we can to sync it with protools and our MPC. To ORDER with YOUR CREDIT CARD ONLINE Click here.
