i like how this guy demo's the sp404 he does it where you can really understand what is going on. The Warren Harris Demo had me confused.

[doomkids]

yo how do you sample the one pad, changed(subsonic)onto a different pad?

[Funmichi]

can it quantisize?

[lolYOULOSTTHEGAMElol]

Yes, it can quantise.

[lolYOULOSTTHEGAMElol]

It's on page 26-27 of the manual.

[jelliman88]

does this thing have regular drum sounds in it? e.g basic kick snare and hi hat? or it all hip hop weird sounds?

[lolYOULOSTTHEGAMElol]

You can put whatever sounds you want on it, then play them - that's what a "sampler" does.

@lolYOULOSTTHEGAMElol sorry man im a noob...im thinking of getting this for melodies writing and loop purpose....can you tell me how can it be done.

[lolYOULOSTTHEGAMElol]

@teamsleepnine Only just saw your message! You can save any 44.1KHz/16-bit wav/aiff file on there and assign it to one of the pads, then either play each sample once OR loop it.

For example, you could assign some bass notes to pads 1-8 and drum loops to 9-12, then leave one of the loops playing while constructing a melody on 1-8. You can also record a pattern of pad presses, saving a melody and sampling something else over that. It's pretty versatile!

[DarkPhantomSky]
