Sp-404 Live Jam July 08

[ODProfessorRhino]

aight thanx for the quick answer, im still learning this machine shits mad fun! yo keep up the good work

[ODProfessorRhino]

yo how do u play that many samples at the same time? im just wondering cos it seems that ur using alot of stereo samples, i got the 303 and i cant play shit without exceeding the polyphony, basically have to resample everything into lofi to bang out my pads like that

[drewzletube]

@ODProfessorRhino in this video, each pad is a rendered down part of a song i wrote. ie, the rendered 4-bar bassline is on pad X, the drums are on pad Z etc. by summing a song down this way I can use the SP as a phrase performer. 303 has less polyphony though - remember that lo-fi doesn't affect polyphony, it is whether the sample is mono or stereo. good luck and cheers for watching

[buzzmansai]

really really good...

[pablospace]

Really good! I´m looking to buy a 404 to complete mi "samplerless" electribe EMX.

[drewzletube]

thanks man; the SP will be a great companion to your EMX

[johnsonrakie]

I will treat my 404 from now on with some more respect :). Your breaks are quite heavy but the samples are well chosen. Very nice, I like

[glisignoli]

I have a sp 404 and haven't used it much. But this makes me want to crank it out again! WOW!

[drewzletube]

thanks ;) you should definitely get it out, have a play and let inspiration strike!

[THEBURNZINATOR]

@drewzletube i find it hard to make a perfect loop on it and sampling is hard for me too no matter how many videos i watch, nice job.

[rahc09]

[JreZz]

[drewzletube]

thanks alot man, BoC are a big influence for me. :D

[DH328]

can you play some pads as loops and others as one-hit at the same time?

[drewzletube]

definitely! you can have 12 mono samples playing at a time, doesn't matter how they're configured : )

[ffernandez16]

wow this was a great tune i also have the 404 and i havent really use it to it fullest potential but seeing this video makes me want to go further with the music i do

[drewzletube]

thanks alot! try to dedicate some time to playing with the 404 and soon you'll be alot more familiar with the machine, enjoy : )

[raininginhell]

It just has so much functionality that it seems overwhelming. It's hard for me to remember where which button combos do what sometimes.

[beastdalyricsyt]
