i will conquer this machine if it's the last thing i do
amen. jus got mine a few hours ago lol, overwhelmed but really excited
@@denizendenizen Just got mine last night. Overwhelmed and very excited.
Hang in there. 404 is a beast...took me a minute to figure it out. But in a few weeks everything was second nature and fast. Check the recent update also....huge step forward
Not impossible but I get where you are coming from
That’s the spirit.
This has absolutely been the single best video I've watched yet. Coming from an MPC 1000 background, it's 6 days into my journey with this machine and tonight is the first time it's really clicked - thank you!!
Yo I use the 2500. I’ve only used the tape saturation as effect. I haven’t even tried to make a beat with it. 😂
I just bought one of these, still on the way so was looking at some tutorials and was really happy to land on SampleKings. I think it's been nearly 20 yrs. ago that I purchased the lessons for Akai MPC from SampleKings, now flash forward, baby grown, graduated college, outa LA, living in the desert and here I am again learning from the boss! Man, just your voice makes me happy, and the way you take your time, assuming nothing, explaining even what might be the obvious to some, is just so helpful and calming. Thank you SO much for being who you are and doing what you do!
You are welcome.
Got mine last night. Updated the firmware, have tomorrow off, and this is where my journey starts.
Thank you!
Enjoy!
Roland owes you money. Great work, I know how to use this thing now, thank you.
Just got mine last week. Can't wait to sit in front of it and watch this video.
The video will help with everything you need to know.
Thank you for this informative video! And I like your paintbrush.
God of tutorials.. 🔥🔥🔥
I’ve enjoyed this video. Very helpful towards learning this machine. Awesome explanations!
Glad it was helpful tried to cover everything that would help everyone.
Massively informative! Thanks a bunch, man!
u really needed to be shown how to plug your apple ear buds dont ya ?
Does this machine have midi capabilities...I want to place samples to midi to create my own sounds... replace my it with my own drums ..but use the samples Rhythm...To Complete the Songs " Thanks
Thank You for the Video! You have a Great Radio Type of Voice.
Hell yeah, nicely done! this is huuuuuge!
I appreciate you for this breakdown King ✊🏽💪🏽💯!
great video! theres so many things to learn on the new model
Glad it was helpful

Thanks for this!🙏🏼
Glad it was helpful!
You got the Bose speaker too! I bought one off a street fella and the thing ended up so nice my gf ended up buying the next model up but for size and weight the little one we got is by far better. Man you might recall me crying about the MPC when I was learning it, I had a hell of a meltdown or two or three, but the 404 has been love from day one. I like how it can connect to the ipad and the cables all workout to not be a mess for once😱 and everything just works and it feels good, its everything I love about Korg Gadget, its highly evolved but not convoluted. That said I ran into a problem with the sample format I chose so I gotta go through and upsample if that is the word. Gotta move up from 16bit to 32bit cuz it says “unsupported” on most my custom samples 🤡 But I still love it.
My friend, you are a world class gentleman for this demo. Exemplary teaching and concise explanations all the way around 🥃 Cheers.
Glad it was helpful!
thank you for this! your tutorial is especially informative and well structured :)
Glad it was helpful!

I just wanna acknowledge how much the beat at 18:00 slaps. Forgot I was watching a tutorial and was just jammin’ for a minute, lol.
Thanks Brah!
How do I get samples to play back through both left and right sides?
Hi,
Thanks for all your contents ! I see many videos on the MPCS but nothing on the Akai Force. Do you plane to do an instructional video on this machine?
If I can get one I'll do one.
@@SampleKingsVideos i hope you ‘ll get one very soon!
5:15 so is the LINE INPUT in the from Mono or Stereo?
Thanks!
Excellent work!
Thanks, glad it helped!
Can you please provide a link to the microphone cable you use? At 4:16, the SP404 end of it looks like it's 1/4" TS, but wouldn't you normally use 1/4" TRS for a mic?
I bought it in Tokyo but it's just a XLR to 1/4 cable.
I think this might the the tutorial!
yo those pluck samples are so clean please lemme cop
They are all from the sp404 every sample in the video is from the sp404 Mk 2
Nice! Thanks I just got mine yesterday
Also do you notice any latency with the output of the Bose speaker when plugging directly in like?
The latency is with the camera recording system that’s on sometimes and off at other times.
I don’t know who designs these workflows obviously not musicians shit has the intuitiveness of a rock
Hey boss, you know I always appreciate you, Would you suggest pairing this with the motif es6? Warmest regards

You have helped me out in the past with the triton and 1000 going to buy this. Who have you made music for? It seems like you all the way in the business
Yes, and even more this year. Thanks for the support too.
@@SampleKingsVideos hey does this m Does this Machine have midi capabilities " I have several samples...That I want to set to midi" Then ADD different sounds...to it and use it to finish the Songs" Thanks
Mine will be here in 3 days!! I've ordered how to videos from SampleKings in the past. Glad to see y'all are still doing y'all thang!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Hi there, can you sample the mic through that input? Thanks.
I tried that didn’t sound too good
Oh wow you hit all my buttons in the first 30 secs - bass player, batteries, cables, and most of all speaker -- it's really hard to find a decent zero latency speaker, they all have dsps in them that seem to suck time even with aux in.
I know I like recording to tape for bass and most instruments but for a demo it was ok. The Bose mini was good for the mic in my camera system.
@@SampleKingsVideos how are you connecting the Bose speaker?
lol..36:08 just getting used to the buttons hit that bus fx button
the speaker is connected in the headphone output? i dont speak english very well. i get lost. i have a portable speaker with jack 3.5
Tambien Los puedes conectar en " output "
Can someone explain me what length in bars means?
In written music, a bar is a "measure". A measure is the space between the vertical lines where the notes are placed between on a sheet of music, these lines split up a piece of music into equal parts called measures... The notes in a measure.... In 4/4 timing, there are 4 "quarter notes" in a measure. That's a black dot with a single stick coming out the side, like a "d" with the "o" part filled in black. 4 quarters in 1 dollar, 4 quarter notes in 1 measure. To simplify this people just call it "bars". A bar is 1-2-3-4, 2 bars 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4... Not all measures in music are counted by the 4/4 "time signature" though... Check some videos on reading music to get more detail and for visuals, and you don't have to learn how to read music, just absorb enough to get the concept.
Thanks for sharing..... #serialnumber
Your welcome glad it was helpful.
Can you really plug a bass into the rear input? Don't those jacks expect line level, not instrument level? I'm no bass player, so forgive any misunderstanding on my part.
Your right but it worked with an effect on input.
Why do i get latency on song mode only going between patterns?
I've never had that problem but try to reduce the number of patterns and see how that affects it, count how many samples you're using reduce and compare.
I would’ve liked if you would’ve spent 10 minutes instead of 10 seconds on the external input pad settings. It’s one of the most important things to get right - gain staging. There is the volume of the source, there’s the input levels, and there’s the main volume out of the SP. All have to be calculated to get the optimal performance and sampling levels right and to avoid clipping.
How do you mono a song?
Make sure left & right are combined.
Been waiting for over 6 months still on back order
Finally got it over a month ago
This doesn't take phono like the other models?.
Just change setting in input. If you need any help I do Zoom lessons just call 718 715 4652 or email admin@samplekings.com.
Hello sir, are you taking in students? I need a mentor.
Yes, we teach online thru zoom video what do you want to learn?
@@SampleKingsVideos I am trying to learn how to make my sound more professional
@@HeavyHeartsShow no problem we can help with that when do you want to start?
@@SampleKingsVideos I will wait a month or so to get familiar with the SP404 first so that I have better questions for you guys
Can’t really understand why would someone spend so much money on this when they can buy a mpc one for the same price. My opinion.
Firstly, an MPC one (cheapest modern standalone unit, new) is $900, while this is $500, so it's reasonably cheaper.
Secondly, while it's not as robust / feature-packed as an MPC, this simply greatly improves on the limitations, quality and workflow of the preceding SPs: bridging the gap between it and an MPC, yet still remaining comfortably true to the SP vibe.
This and the MPC are still, though similar at their roots, entirely different machines that cater to different goals and workflows, not really worthy of comparison. (Direct comparison, at least.)
My opinion. (As someone who constantly sees this excellent unit considered inferior to the MPC one, etc. Hope this explains my context.)
As an MPC One owner it's simple:
1. The FX
2. The Price
I wish these were in stock 😭
Portability?
Not everyone wants an MPC 🤷♂️
“Your MPC has recovered from an internal error”! is a good enough reason for me . I’ve had the MPC One and MPC live 2 , both suffered constant crashes everytime I used them. Had the SP404A and now the Mark 2 , not a single crash or issue ever !
That machine seems way to confusing how they make the workflow worse then before smh 🤦♂️
Intro far too long for a TH-cam video!
Why do you comment without a suggestion of how long!
@@SampleKingsVideos I’m giving you feedback but to answer directly the snappier the better from 10 seconds to 25 seconds, cool intro tune sorry if I came across negative x
This is a very comprehensive guide…if someone is going to watch what is essentially an in-depth masterclass on a piece of hardware they own, the intro length probably won’t have an impact on whether they’ll commit to the hour and forty minute long lesson…
