2020 now, you just destroyed all the other terrible tutorials on this box. Just showed me what the buttons do and modes - good job!
Thanks my friend!
This comment sums up the video
@@User173 me too, i just received mine today and i do not know how to take the Sd Car los of
@@User173 this video was exactly what I was looking for, I salute you!!
Glad to see this comment upon putting on the video. Subscribing
Perhaps I missed it, but just in case: you can set a threshold sound level to trigger recording (like on an MPC), to avoid the silence at the start
nope, I didn't mention that, thank you for adding that tip!
Dario Miticocchio will that threshold adjustment also stop recording when your sample stops?
@@kippa5t0ne5 no, you have to stop it by manually
Auto trig level
thank god lol
Roland, take notes. THIS is how you do a tutorial/overview. Thanks for this, your explanations are clear and allow even a noob to understand what does what and how.
Thank you for saying that! I am always trying to improve my tutorials and have some good stuff coming up. just been in a covid funk for a while.
@Cancel Cultured LOL, such excitement.
Awesome man, I don't remember my sx ever looking that fresh haha!
Brand spanking new and ALL because of you and Brenky inspiring me! Now I've just dicovered MUJO too 0.o so many great artists. keep up the great content m'man!
I love the realness in this video. The tutorial was articulate and the energy was uplifting. I bought one so many years ago and recently pulled it out of storage. I need to learn so I will be watching all your vids. Stay motivated. 💯
💯
just got a 404a ty for the in depth tutorial. seems like ur the only person who made an all in one startup vid. 💛
Just picked up a sealed unit for the studio. Lookin to integrate with my work flow. Thanks for saving me a wack load of time. This things a beast!
I've been making beats with this for awhile now. Best purchase I've ever made.
I wholeheartedly agree!
Dude can slice samples automatically?
Adrian Mare not automatically but easily, @spvidz has a good video about this
Hey man I just bought this machine from a friend. Instructions are all in Korean. I cannot express enough how much this video has and continues to help me. It's a perfect tutorial. I go back every time I get confused. Thanks so much. Subscribed. Keep it up
This is probably the best and most extensive hands-on tutorial on youtube, thanks!!!! 🙏
YW kind soul!
Thanks for posting this. My SX arrives tomorrow. This is very helpful.
Side thought regarding battery power. It is cool that they make them that way. I will say Korg is horrible about making something battery powered and NOT including a power cable though. Of all the cheap ways to try to save a buck.
I've watched a TON of music video tutorials, but this one might be my favorite. Thanks for keeping it real.
awesome to hear! thanks mang.
This got me putting decent rap beats together within an hour of first turning the 404 on. Thanks.
Thanks for this! I just got my 404-sx yesterday so the timing of this video is perfect!
YAY, you are going to LOVE it. It's such a great machine. The limitations are so inspiring, I love this machine.
I’m so happy that I just found this. I’ve been looking forever
“I like to have quantize off cuz I’m wild like that” I like where you’re heads at.
Love that deep purple reference lmao, awesome vid man, I just picked up a 404 a few weeks ago, still learning, still love it
HAA! finally someone noticed :D cheers man! I'mma check your channel see if you got some 404 stuff, if not let me know when you do!
I never really comment on videos buut, I wanted to thank you for this content. A great presentation that has made learning my Sp404a as easy as can be. Honestly I wish you luck with your youtube career.
thanks a lot! TBH, I don't plan on it being a career, but definitely a hobby! Glad I could help.
how are you liking it
@@willcasket_goycdyg it's a great starter system. I just got my mpc live 2. I will not be selling the sp404. It's an amazing system and has a lot of lofi style effects I dont want to lose. I will just sample from the sp404
Just got mine today and decided to consult this video on how to resample perfectly after reading the english manual online. Good job with this.
Thanks, i bought it a few years ago but got into daws...its sat there so i am going to play again thanks to you.
This is good for humanity. Huge thanks
This is the best tutorial! Period! Respect!
Thank you for this.
my nigga

Nice to see someone explain thoroughly with detail

"Sounds like crap so maybe I'll just try to fix it somehow" 😂 story of my life

Absolutely fantastic tutorial on the SX, we appreciate you!
I never comment on videos but I wanted to thank you very much for this tutorial.
ah dude, that's super kind and very humbling. cheers!
Thanks for this awesome video. I just got my SP404SX after watching too many beat making/lofi videos. Your walk-though was perfect to get me started, so thank you very much!
That is amazing to hear! YW man. I gotta post all my songs. I've been a lazy mofo just practicing and playing.
Great tutorial. I’ve purchased my 404SX after watching your tutorial. Great content!
Very informative vid.. shout out to the SP community
Oh snap! Verysickbeats in the house! Thank mang!
ha! just realizing you are the same guy that helped me changed the belts in my marantz...
You breakdown your tutorials and make it easy to understand! I don’t have one of these I have a maschine mk3 and really wish you had a tutorial on that!
Thank You for Posting this Video! It helps to have someone like you go over things Slow, and Simple! You put a Lot of Time into Making this More Understandable for Many People! Good Clear Video, with Good Clear Spoken English! Thanks Again! God Bless You Brother!
what a lovely comment! thank you Mark :D I can't wait to do more. just gotta find the right gear.
Wow man the end of this video introduced me to the Lyra-8 and the world of Soma. Thank you sir
No problem! the Lyra 8 is fantastic!
God Bless you!!! I just picked one up a over the holidays. Your video is so helpful
Really great tutorial! We're building an SP404 resource for tips + tricks on using the machine and will be including this :) thanks for sharing!
lol been coming back to this vid all weekend why is your tutorial better than the damn manual for this thing lol
I didn't know about the resample to apply effect on multiple pads! Or tapping delete to cut a pad out of a pattern (I've been starting those from scratch when I mess up 😂)
Now this is a useful video. Thorough, nice and gentle presentation nothing flashy. Thank you, I'm subscribing
thanks a bunch! I super appreciate the feedback and subscription!
@@User173 you're most welcome!
Loads of useful info ! I own the OG 404 myself but it's still a good resource. Thanks for the time you put into this guide !
absolutely! you got it. If you have any tips or anything, feel free to share em here :D
I always hear it has better, dirtier sound output but that the wait times are unreal.
Your tutorial is more clearly than others I’ve seen! Thanks for that 👊🏽
Thanks for letting me know! cheers.
thanks.. just got mine today and this was my first dive in tutorial. super simple when you know it's work flow now I just gotta practice with it.
You'll master it in no time. it's so much fun!
thank you for sharing your knowledge, i’m still learning to use mine & this video definitely helped. hope you have an amazing day!
well now I'm probably going to get one XD
Thos is the beat guide I have seen so far. Thank you!!
Solid tutorial dude, thanks so much. After months of searching, I'm finally picking one up tomorrow. Can't wait!
Thank you for this tutorial very informative i am waiting on my Roland SP404SX just like your unboxing it is coming from Japan a week from now. It's just a matter of time to finally get one cause it is discontinued product.. I'll jump on it right away when it arrives... Thanks Brotha.. DJ Fonzz 💯
congratz DJ Fonzz, you'll love it! live performance is really fun on this thing.
i just bought one and it sounds realy cool
Totally picking one up for my noise duo lmao
Assuming this was imported from Japan, because the reason why the manual is in Japanese is because the SX model is still produced and only available for purchase within Japan. If you're in the US, the SP-404 model available for sale, brand new, is the SP-404A which comes with a manual in English. When the SP-404SX was still available new in the US, it came with an English manual as well.
well, that may be, but I bought it on Amazon, and it shipped locally. I still see them on Amazon occasionally.
Great vid thanks for taking the time. It may help me get over this damn hurdle... I'm an old skool sampler user since the 80s had many many samplers and have had an OG one of these since 2017 {i had hoped i could use it for extra sample time with my sp1200 like we used to do with akai s950 + the fx are a must have.... yet even now I still can't get my head around it whenever I plug it in! I love how it sounds and am determined to find my way of using it.
This doesn't work like any other piece of kit which is it's unique beauty but I do wish there was a version that had slightly better midi sequencing and sampler features (eg midi tracks / mutes / mpc style '16 levels' or somesuch way to put the pads in chomatic mode or multi velocity/filter or whatever parameter like + sample choke groups + maybe a little more to the quantise like timing & swing shift.
I've mainly held on to this for it's great sound and fx + its perfect as a soundboard / like an inexpensive and programmable Instant Replay (anyone remember those crazy devices?).
My main point of frustration is that it sounds so much better than many samplers but I can't imagine trying to make full songs and get the stems to mix after the fact which is a process i enjoy. Im blimmin well determined to join in on this SP404 party!!! Til then my trusty 1200 will have to suffice 🤠
Tbh this video is better than the chops magazine playlist
Much love homie. More to come! also check out m'man SPVIDZ
We want more on sp. Old 👍👍
Thankyou man. Can't wait to attempt to use it now!! Really clear instructions and explanations!!
All of rolands product manuals can be downloaded on their website btw
Setting auto trig will save you so much time
Thank you for making it easy to understand!
best tutorial ive ever seen. so in depth really really nice job
Hey y'all, another beginner trick I forgot to mention: you can select an MFX more easily by having MFX on, hold function and press either 1- 12 pad for MFX 1-12
Hold down MFX and the DJ looper button, and you can access MFX 13-24 the same way.
@@personmcperson4440 yes!! I was looking for a way to do that. thank you.
Nice! Thanks for this
Great fast guide!
Thank you for this awesome video good stuff. Just bought one it should be here by tomorrow can’t wait. Thank you 🙏 stay safe.
Thanks my man! Appreciate the lesson ✌🏽
Sooo good 👍👍👍 iam in medil East I have sp 404 old one 👍👍 soooo good machine 😍
7:44 you can switch banks while in pre-rec mode, no need to cancel first.

I freaking love this video.
I freaking love you
Good video. Great machine I get the most use out this machine, no big screens easy to use very intuitive.
Just got one today! Thank you for this video!!
Great video... subbed (I think I was #100!) Keep on producing that content!
YOU DA MAN!!!!! Thank you!
This video is beyond helpful. Thank you.
YW
I'm pretty sure we got the same Roland from the same seller just off the strength of the manual being in Japanese but dope !
But also forget to add thank you for the very detailed tutorial
no worries, thanks for watching!
Really good tutorial 🙏🏿👍🎩
Very helpful vid. Thanks
I bought mine about 5 years ago, the manual is in multiple languages, including English.
thanx for making it so clear and simple
YW mate
Much much love From Austria ❤️
Extremely helpful! Thank you!
great video.I'm planning on buy a sx soon
I bought a og 404 and I'm having problems with my memory card not working right. It won't format..
Thanks for this! Subscribed!
Thank you! Very helpful.
Yhh got one of these in the end, vid helped convince me for sure
Yes I want one of these. Indeed.
AAAW YEAH!! Just got mine in the mail today.2021
Great video thanks!
Great instruction vid, thank you👍👍👍
Whoa, a 404 without stickers and colorful knobs?!
thanks a lot. God bless you !
You are amazing omg thank u for this
Super solid video thank you!
So fresh so clean
Thank you. I have a beatup 404 since 2006 and you made me wanna pick it up again. The sound of 404 can't be marched.
you are truly welcome. I hope you get back into it!
just bought one and was watching @spvidz and @Lofi Chops pretty juiced cus I can see a usage pattern.
This video is going to be a lifesaver. I haven't found out yet if you can set a sample loop like the pattern, my end point timing is awful. I was mostly going to use this for one shots anyway but I'm super curious.
yeah, you can set a sample to loop. Just get it trimmed up right and it will loop great.
@@User173 oh I mean the way you can make the pattern a set tempo and bar length. Like on the Korg KP3
@@charliecowan9973 No, I don't think you can do that on this one, unfortunately.
@@User173 well I kept my KP3, I can always use both. Thanks for your knowledge!
Great video I’ll will be watching it a few times over. Question ☝🏽🕺🏾 so I have a long pattern that I want to cut up into small samples can I use the mark function to mark the beginning and end of the parts I want and then move that section over to another button using the exchange function without effecting the original length
Just exchanging over the marked sections I want .....
yup, absolutely how you do it. Mark it, adjust it, then copy to a new pad so that you have a duplicate and it will keep the mark, then truncate that pad. this way you always keep your long sample.
Thanks mate!
Appreciate this . I have yet to dig into mine. I really like your thoughts on stickers at the end, too. I never thought of it that way, but it makes perfect sense. Thanks again!
Great video. Thanks a lot. Appreciated
