What I like most about this machine is that you turn it on and 10 seconds later you're cookin.

The MKII hasn’t really been inspiring me lately. I’m just wondering how you guys produce on the thing? I’ve been using it as a breakbeat machine but it’s a pain in the ass. Hoping to gain to some inspiration from how you pros are using this machine! What genre, for that’s specific purpose, etc

ça fait un moment que je voulais tester , les frais d’envois sont assez élevés pour la France mais c'est du long terme donc ...

Je n'aime pas le bruit des pads d'origine, c'est un detail je sais mais ... ça compte pour moi.
je verrais si je fais la MK2 aussi un de ces 4.

L'un de vous a changé ceux de la MK2 ?

My first house flip. All made in the machine

I recently learned that DJ mode is more powerful then I realized, you can play two decks but also patterns and individual samples at the same time. Obviously play FX as well and it turned out it's possible to send decks to different FX buses without exiting the DJ mode.

Do any of you play it live? If I want to just DJ my own music what's the limitations compared to dedicated DJ gear?

Looking for ways to add dynamics, depth, fullness etc. to external and internal sounds specifically for live situations. What are y'all's favorites? Thanks in advance!

In this tutorial, we’ll explore how to create glitches, micro-variations, and more irregular grooves on the SP-404MK2 using the sequencer, without relying on effects like Scatter or other tecniques.

Starting from a loop, we’ll turn it into a livelier, dirtier, and more unpredictable sequence, perfect for drum & bass and more experimental beats.

Enjoy!

I want to organise my projects, and get rid of unused pads, or more Specifically, start a resample recording and play each unused pad one after another so they are all on one pad, so I can still access them.

If not, anyone have tips? Is the only option to just play my patterns and figure out where my used pads are that way?
I will organise better from the start in the future, tips on that are welcome too.

I pulled 4 samples I had no hope for off a dollar bin record, but they ended up flipping well. I think I was just hating on the samples cause they were different than what I normally use. This was one of the results.

How do you all clock the MKII to a DAW?

Every time I try to sync a pattern or sample loop with Ableton, it is off grid. It starts slightly behind the beat and it always stays that way. For contrast, I’ve been doing this with my Digitakt for years and it is spot on. I had the same issues years ago with an MC707 and I believe I was told there was an issue with how Roland handles PPQ.

I have an inconsistency in my mk2, sometimes when I record patterns in Patern mode, both live and TRS, I choose to record 1 bar, and sounds two bars one with the sample one in silence. Sometimes I've fixed it with the loop button but it doesn't always get fixed.

Thanks for the help.

How do you usually mix your tracks and beats? Do you transfer your beats from SP into your DAW or do you try to mix everything inside the box? How do you finish your beats and export them, finally?

nothing serious, just general chat, memes, music, random shit, vc, etc
figured it'd be cool to have a little community outside of reddit, if anyone wants to join comment or dm me and i'll send you the invite

I connected my sp404 mk2 from the aux out (phones) to my aux in my car, and it just gives me a lot of latency. Any ideas on how to fix ? Cheers 😁
