SP404 effects are available as VST btw - They are inside of the Roland Zenology effect plugin. When Akai finally update the software to allow vst3, we'll be able to stick the effects on our mpc in the software
this is why roland need to step up their game, no step sequencer and synth options on the sp cant compete...they held back so they can sell those new volca like boxes...
You can set your MPCs knobs to the same fx the SP uses. Especially if you have an X that has even more knobs. Makes me wonder do you even know how to use your MPC or own one? Everyone complains Akai doesn’t have this or that but there’s workarounds and straight up stuff that’s in there that you people dont take the time to learn. I can use vst3 with the Akai software. You just need another program that does it but it can be done.
@@malobeatsJust bought one it's the circuitry MARLO.Although interesting the vst can't possibly sound as warm as any of the units.The most fun i've had since my Xl back in the day.
Man, these features are baller. Once the market settles a bit as far as availability, I can see this being a gnarly addition to my arsenal. Great showcase of some of its unique functions, you're always dropping gems, Malo. Much love.
Hey Josh thank you so much brother I really appreciate you dropping by, absolutely this has been an awesome addition to the MPC as far as extra effects and a few extra options it gives you.
@@henrikpersson4698 My setup wound up going in a different direction, but I hope you enjoy yours upon arrival. All the updates they've been giving it make it a great piece for long to come.
I'm in the same boat as you. There was a 20% off on amazon and i had the chance to catch one of the two available. Couldn't resist. Should be here in 2 days. What a great st-valentin gift i made to myself! MALO has the beats out there, exactly my style of beats.
You’re killing it man. I’ve been following your vids for a bit and you’re upping your game all the time. The production quality and editing on this video is 💪. Keep going brother.
Hey brother, thank you so much for dropping by and sharing this input. Thank you for the feedback and also noticing the small details. Much love to you and blessings. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
This machine is crazy. After yrs of purchasing other producers beats, I'm finally ready to jump back into my own creative box. That MPC One+ / SP404 combo looks to be the way but I could also just grab Logic X and call it a day. I use an MPK 25 as a controller right now (still not making beats as of yet, I just use it to trigger movie samples) but the ABOVE combo seems like it would 'inspire' a more hands on feel. Will debate over the next month but thx for your videos. You definitely show the potential power it could induce. Blessings
Excellent video, man. I just got my mk2 couple days ago and haven’t had time to dive in yet. Honestly I’m a little confused but I’m gonna keep checking all these instructional vids I’m finding here on TH-cam. Keep up the great work.
Hey Brent, congratulations on the MPC and I know what you mean, it does take some time to get used to but once you get the hang of it I promise you it’s going to be a life-changing moment as it was for me lol. Blessings to you and please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
Hey brother, this really means a lot and I don’t take it lately thank you so much for the support and the kind words I hope I can keep pushing out content as I have been. Blessings to you my brother
I got mine today.. I figured out how to assign FX and record patterns and delete patterns and stuff :) This vid show some great workflows for the sampling.. thanks!
The greatest feature in europe in unavailability of mk2 on the market. Next supplies are supposed to arrive around AUGUST 2022. In the meanwhile you can pay around 1100 $ on ebay for one. It is one of the worst rollouts of one of the best tools I was to witness in a decade. Great job roland, we cannot stuff your pockets as long as they are closed. Btw great video as always Malo! Going back to my dungeon to cry over my SP404A
Hey Ricardo, man it is a big bummer on how this was rolled out since it’s so hard to get our hands on them at the moment. It is an awesome sampler/sequencer and I really hope they’re able to get these out a lot faster to everybody. Thank you so much brother I highly appreciate the support it really means a lot
nice video! what if you want to tighten up the kicks for example? is there a decay function you can kind of tighten the without just chopping it all off with start and end time?
Bro these are some great effects might be getting sp202 soon I got the One . You should make a video on mixing and mastering with plugins you got on your daw I’ve been trying but I think I need some work .
Hey brother, thank you so much for tuning in, and I’m glad you mentioned this since this is a highly requested video I have been getting this past week so i am working on this one and hope to releas it by next week. Thank you for this 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Could you talk us through playing samples chromatically, having the notes and recording a sequence plse @malo. As you know yourc way around the sp 404 maybe you built some tracks around the sequencing function. I unboxed yesterday and im not sure what the sequencing capabilities are - how to navigate them, play through it live
Thank you so much for the feedback this really means a lot and will definitely be pushing on what continent what does 404. Blessings to you and thank you for taking the time
Hey, great video! So tip #2 - the tempo matching & pitch speed works differently on my device, it's driving me nuts. I set it to manual, and tap the tempo of the sample. But the tempo on the sample then changes with what i tap. It's not like in your vid, where the sample says the same, so you can match up the BPM. Any idea what i'm doing wrong?
I just got my SP-404MK2 and, it is dope as shit. It's definitely a direct descendant of the MS-1 with all the terminology and, features. My only gripe is that you can't customize midi mapping, no input meter, and can't export stems.
I was waiting for you record the pattern to see if it loops back right. That'd where I'm having the problem with some of these samples, be it drums or a one shot, etc
Just Got it yesterday and its going to be a learning adventure going from the SP1200/Mpc2000XL/60 mk1 and 60 mk 2/AsR 10 and even MV8000 which is my favorite to this. Need to know about the factory stuff how to move it on to the sdcard so I can clear to memory
Man, this is interesting I was not aware of this feature in Ableton and I also found out that there’s a function similar to this one on the MPC but you’re right, I really wish it was the case with audio instead of midi
Man, great observation and no I have been having some issues with my 1 DX when I plug in my HDMI cable to the external monitor is something that started happening just recently
Bruh, that beat sound FIRE! this is the best 404 mk2 video that i saw, straight to the point
Thanks!
Thank you for taking the time brother, 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

did you get yours? i have ordered mine now but they're readily available now. couldn't get one for first few months tho

I finally, FINALLY managed to grab a brand new MK2 and now I'm devouring all the tutorials. This one was really helpful! Thanks!
Anne, this means a lot and thank you so much for investing the time watching this video. 🙏🏽

Got mine a few days ago and your vids have been great for getting me started with it!!
BPM sync is awesome 👍
I really wish other samplers had it, it’s been really fun looping samples and matching with in a click of a button
Just copped a MK2 from my local music shop, these vids are mad helpful man. Thank you!
Before this video, I didn't understand this Bpm Sync feature. Now, it's ok. Thanks a lot !
Hey brother, I’m glad you dropped by and shared this input. Definitely BPM Sinc Is one of my favorite features on this machine.
you are the god of the sp404 tutorials, thankyou very much!
It’s such a beast of a machine. I’m a total newb to SP’s(got mine 2 weeks ago). But this thing has the biggest potential of all samplers for me.
はははははは
Absolutely, I’m glad you took the time to share this feedback. I believe as a powerful machine at the price that is at it is quite impressive.

Thanks for the lesson. I just picked up the 404 Mk 2 today. I’m excited to use it. Great video!
Call back (buffer) and Pitch make this box wonderful.

Found one today, even discounted 🙃 Switzerland has plenty of shops with availabilities as far as I looked.
Love the sp mk2 favourite piece of gear
Excellent video ..with all the good contents in.... give me flavor 😋 to this one too....all the bless fam
Thank you for these very inspiring videos man!! So many great insights made in a very clear way! Top videos!
Awesome tips. Thanks. Mine arrives on Wednesday. Can’t wait. Cheers. Lee (subbed)
Roland should hire you !
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I’m about to pin this comment lol. Thank you my brother appreciate you
Really well done, Subbed! 😁👊
really helpful. thnak you!
Very useful thanks !

I actually have that Japanese break! It’s sick!
I’ve been really trying to find this in Vinyl but my goodness they are pretty pricey lol
@@malobeats yup
What’s the track?
Great video bro…keep it up
Thank you brother 🙏🏽🙏🏽
thank you brooooo

ON POINT , like always . THANK YOU
Thank you so much for taking the time brother
More 404 videos please.. I may invest in a sp 404 mk2 course soon.
I jank my phome from USB C straight into USB C SP404Mk2....Works like a charm....Also with a lightning to USB cable (USB C or adaptor USB A to C)

With newer iPhones that have lighting to usb c you can’t sample straight in to the usb on the 404 instead of having to get a line in adapter no?
Very helpful video!
Hey brother, thank you so much for the feedback and I’m glad it was helpful. Blessings to you
We need more Sp 404 mk2 videos ….

@@malobeats can you please make a video on how to create and save your favorite EFX?
That’s a Westside Gunn sample!
Just Got it yesterday and its going to be a learning adventure going from the SP1200/Mpc2000XL/60 mk1 and 60 mk 2/AsR 10 and even MV8000 which is my favorite to this. Need to know about the factory stuff how to move it on to the sdcard so I can clear to memory
Thanks for your vids!!! I've learned a lot...You got a like and sub from me🙌 I just got my SP stones throw edition. Learning the ropes from you.
How can I connect my turntable straight into my SP404 MK2? Or do I need an interface?
Yes you can with the correct cable
Love 👌🇲🇽
is there any way to have a pattern run at a uneven bpm?? for example 76.8 or 91.3...
My samples are only playing back on left side. How do I get both?
How do you get skip back on to pad 13? What is your process?
That exact same sample you got by mistake is from a brother ali and public enemy tune 💥
Can I edit and chop let’s say, a piano sample on the fly, while another (drum) loop is playing?
This is how I use Ableton. I don’t even hit record. It records my midi inputs. Wish it did the same with audio
Man, this is interesting I was not aware of this feature in Ableton and I also found out that there’s a function similar to this one on the MPC but you’re right, I really wish it was the case with audio instead of midi
@@malobeats we all learn from each other
What if you don't know the bpm? Can you just set a loop to play over 16,32.. etc steps?
Do your video glitch purposely ? Example 9:36
Man, great observation and no I have been having some issues with my 1 DX when I plug in my HDMI cable to the external monitor is something that started happening just recently
are you sampling from your phone into the headphone jack?? is that possible? lol
