    Really appreciate you making so many vids on the SX. I got one about a month ago and your vids really help

    7:34 the remote setting would let you send CC data to “turn knobs”. The 404sx has nothing to control that way if I remember, but it is very useful for other hardware with a midi implementation chart

    I’m excited for this one! I have an Ableton setup with a track of midi devices to use my SX: 1.Pitch - align the SX pads to “match” my external controller, 2.Midi Monitor - visual note data, 3.Velocity - Add Some Random…dose what it says!
    Not sure if you mention Midi Channel+1, but banks F-J are available with the next midi channel. If you set the SX to ch10 (banks A-E) ch11 will have E-F.

      Nice. I'm only getting to grips with triggering pads at the moment thats as far as my knowledge goes. I found that switching between Channel 1 & 2 in Ableton gets me either banks A > E or F > J

    Now route the audio output from the sp into your interface and back into an audio track in Ableton and record your performance! 😉

      For sure man! Can’t wait to try it with the older devices too. Really hope it works for the 202

    Welcome to the world of midi! :) I really like using the MK2 as a midi controller to record into my daw. Then I can clean up any misplaced notes. And then also play it back into the MK2. Keep exploring!

      Nice yeah been doing a bit of that as well. Wish it could do a bit more in ableton but it is fun using the pads for drum groups and simpler 👌

    Take it to the next level by sampling the sp back into Ableton through your interface. Then you can record that sound into Ableton and create a track there

    2 questions: why did not you set a drum rack so your pads are naturally located as pads in Live, and why did not you use "external device" to route midi out Live and audio back in?

    Dope haha. Reckon you could figure out how to control the vocoder on the SPMK2 using Ableton? I’ve seen someone do it with the Machine 3 but not sure how to do it with a DAW. Would be cool to be able to play the chords/key with Ableton and effect the vocoder. Thanks for the vid broski

    Bro, a year ago I sold my Sp 404 sx so I can get a Machine MK3. Biggest mistake of my life, I miss the vinyl compression on thing so much.
    Debating whether I should get a 404 or 303. Just for the fx. What do you think?

      It’s most likely the same, you just need a different cable - the more modern midi cables that are 3.5mm

      ​@@spvidzyes I tried. Ez pz. Never even thought to try it. Side note you can use the USB c on the sp404mk2 to control your DAW as well. Not that it's optimal, but it works in a pinch out in the world.

      Yeah I can only seem to get that to control drum groups and chops in simpler but it’s still quite fun
