In this video I make a lofi hiphop beat from scratch using only the SP404sx (and Ableton for some bouncing). I hope you enjoy this video and hopefully it gives you some ideas for workflow or inspiration to just make a beat! If you have any further questions please leave a comment below!

Bro I'm over here doing hw, having youtube auto-play lofi for the past few hours and suddenly this shit starts playing and I'm just like "What the fuck is going on in with my internet??" and then it fixes itself for a second and I'm like "Alright its back" followed by more "EE- EE EE" so I'm just sitting here like "Is this part of the song's style? Hm that is quite a strange style, purposefully lagging" so I started waiting for the drop and when it kept just lagging over and over again I finally decided to come check after multiple skips and I'm just like "Oh.. its a how to" xD
Lmao that’s funny Mann sorry to interrupt your vibes!
when you started playing the drums and the melody together i had this big ass cheesy grin, sounded amazing. i hope to get here one day
Thanks a lot! :)
I'd love to see a video on your finger drumming technique. What I find most impressive is how you're able to play one handed AND have a "drunken" swing. I'm at the point where I can do preetty much any pattern I want one-handed using a kick, snare, and hats AS LONG AS it's a straight beat. Once you add in swung hats and a slightly early snare I find it hard to feel.
Excellent video as always. Keep cookin up beats!
Thats a great idea man, I need to do more stuff on finger drumming - patterns etc. I'll add it to the list. Thanks a lot for the comment and for watching!
look up datsunnmusic - he has amazing tutorials.
So I finally got round to a tutorial for finger drumming. I've got other areas of drumming I want to cover too but this is a good start - th-cam.com/video/ckiHdbHz5M0/w-d-xo.html
I respect your talent. Love the SP compressor sound. Dope 👍🏽
OP-1G.S thanks man!
Love your channel man. I got the SP-404A just for playing long stereo audio stems in my electronic music sets, but your vids make it look like such a cool instrument and made me want to use it that way, so I've started working on some lofi hiphop tracks. Thanks for the inspiration!
Yo thats dope! Glad to hear that!
Such a good sample used on this one, it really takes the right ear and creativity to pick out the best.
Nice one man! Thanks for watching
Love it man.. !! Great video as usual
Nice one man. Thanks for watching! 🙌
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for 🌺💕
Thanks for watching! 🙏
this is sick man, helps understand how these things work haha. sweet beat aswell of course
Glad to help you man! Can be tricky to understand these little boxes!
Loving the vibe. Drums sounding nice
BALTIMEGA thanks a lot man!
one of my favorite videos on youtube
Thanks a lot man! Glad you like it 👌
Oh yeeaaaahhh!!!
peep your face on the hud tho lmao
I noticed that as well after I uploaded 😂😭
Dayuuuum bruh sauced it up for real on this one on god ⚡️
Appreciate it, thanks a lot!
Dope stuff! Finally got one off of ebay the other day. There's definitely a learning curve coming from a DAW, but it feels great to just listen to the music while you make it vs listening and looking at it...if that makes sense. Looking at a step sequencer or midi notes can definitely get old lol.
Know what you mean man, its great to just 'feel' the music instead. A lot of people say the 404 is like an instrument because of that. Welcome to the gang :)
bro your style is lethal omg
Yo thanks for that man! Appreciate it 🙌🙏
definitely gonna be buying the drum pack
Appreciate the support man. Thanks a lot!
Just grabbed up on both drum packs 🤘🏻🤙🏻
Thanks for the support 🙏
One day I'm gonna understand how this works. Feels like looking into a whole different world, this shit is incredible
well good, my dude. the text in the bottom corner to highlight stages is really handy
Glad to hear that's coming in handy. sometimes its nice to take a step back from the mic
That was so cool. I don't have this gear, but I have recently come across this app called Koala. I'm gonna try to do something like this on it. Thanks for the inspiration, much respect. God bless you and your family abundantly always 🙂🙏🏼❤️
Nice man yeah I'm going to do some content with Koala soon!
Sick af, sir. Straight ear butter. 👊
Much appreciated man! Thanks for watching
Dope channel glad I found it ✊🏿
Nice one man! Glad you found it too haha! hope its useful!
Really dope man
I like your vids,making beats on the sp too,wonderful box
Nice one man! Thanks for watching
@@spvidz thx for sharing
dude how do you do the double kick without also doubling the hi hat when you're finger drumming it i cant do it lmfao
haha just gotta practice man :)
spvidz practice worked man! Finger drumming is a piece of cake now
dirtywhite it’s a whole Art In it self . How long it take ya to get used to it
@@spvidz how do you even practice that???
you do it so slow it's easy and then you progressively augment the tempo
Sample chopping A1. Finger drumming unbelievable.
Yo appreciate that man, thanks a lot!
THIS HERE COLD/ THIS HERE OFFICIAL. I LOVE THIS.
Appreciate it thanks a lot!
Dope vid sir
Thanks a lot man, appreciate you watching! 🙌
I had a dream that this beat was on spotify, only to find out the dream was a lie ;-;
🤣 yeah I need to get some new stuff online - not had enough time lately though
Are you able to use effects on separate tracks in the SP404SX? I'm not familiar with SPs, I currently use an MPC Live but have been pondering getting an SP for the effects. Like if I have a piano, kick and a snare playing, can I use the vynil effect or any other effects on just the piano, or can I even have separate tracks?
You can choose which pads you have the MFX on but you can't run multiple fx on different pads. The only way to do that is by resampling a sample onto a new pad with the FX applied whist you use another MFX on different pads. Hope that makes sense man!
From the tutorials I've watched, the SP isn't polyphonic enough to do that. As spvidz mentioned, you have to resample, it may allow for 2-3 voices but all the vidz I've watched make it seem like it's easier to resample, although tedious at times.
@@Caribbean_King SP404 owner here, I believe it has 6 voices. Stereo cuts that in half, so it's important to use as many mono voices as possible if you're playing with multiple samples at once.
Very dope 🔥🔥🔥
thanks a lot man appreciate it!
Analog equipment looks so complicated but fun to use you and Mujo make it seem so easy the thing that confuses me is all the programming and how to remember what all those commands do
haha know what you mean man, it is a skill that just takes practice and repetition - things are easy to remember when they are physically there in front of you! Thanks for watching
Another great. Video dude
Appreciate that, thanks man!
Very helpfull video. Thanks. Got some new insights from this video!
Glad to hear that, thanks for watching!
Aiwa Walkman nice. I used to have the panicsonic with a million cassette on my way to school lol
lol the good old days!
🔥
Da king 👑
🙌
heat!
Thanks bro!
Super dope
Thank a lot, appreciate it!
Thanks againnn for all your content man, propz really..! Two more questions 😅 (considering getting an sx or mkii) mkii overall workflow & options indeed seem like an undeniable upgrade. Are you still able to pitch down/up multiple pads once sample is chopped at the same time like on the sx? And is the compressor sounding the same on the mkii as the sx? Wanna make sure I still get that grittiness and punch like on the sx.. hope it all makes sense 🙏
yes you can pitch all the pads on the bank at the same time...the 1.14 upgrade added that in which is super handy. I wouldn't get the SX over the MK2 just for the compressor. THe MK2 sounds very similar and also has the 303 vinyl sim compressor as well which is a cool alternative
One random question. Does this come with audio and effects or you have to purchase them separately like maschine? What does make sps special? Does it work with specific ant daws? Tell me some info about it if you can. Thanks in advance !
it comes with a 1gb SD card with some sounds on but they are useless really. This is just stand-alone sampler, so you'll have to source your own sounds and also its not built to work with any DAW really, you can obviously record from it into your DAW or get the sounds of the SD card and put them in your DAW but its just a stand alone sampler really.
The main reason this thing is so good is the built in FX - they are the key to getting an authentic lofi sound in my opinion.
Research
doooooopeeeeee
Thanks man, appreciate all the comments lately!
dope
thanks a lot!
Hey Man, Nice vid!!! Can u tell us about the gear u used to Record this demo?
So sick, man! What did you do inside of Ableton when you bounced it in before you put it back into the sp? and did you just load the loop into c8 and then record the live mfx into your final mix?
Learning, so I appreciate the reply. From one TH-camr to another, sub!
I can’t remember because this was a while ago but usually I just do a bit of EQ and maybe some compression
Me interesaba ver cómo hacían ese sonido lofi gracias 🙏
No problem! Gracias! :)
Great video my man
Thanks a lot man! appreciate it
SP404SX & AIWA made in Japan!!!
It's a wonderful performance!
Thanks for watching
Flame.
Thanks for watching
I'm curious, when you bounced into ableton, did you do any processing while there before bouncing it back to the sp? Nice stuff btw.
Cant remember on this occasion as it was a while ago but I usually record the full final beat into Ableton and then do a bit of EQ and compression. You can also track each part out individually but I've not actually done that much yet!
@@spvidz gotcha! Keep up the great work!
nice drums!
Thanks man!
Great! A question, some magic is more compression? (Min: 9:17) greets from Bolivia, sorry my english
dope groove, i really like the sample you chopped, the horn section is fire!
Thanks a lot man! Appreciate the watch!
man i have to get me one of these things soon omg
They're good fun man, even the FX alone are worth having for bouncing stuff through if you're making beats using a DAW. Thanks for watching!
@@spvidz np man! this was good fun to watch. im fairly new to beat making, so its always cool seeing other ppls creative process, and it works as good inspiration for the future. :)
Hello! Do we need other instruments and audio other than that? Or we could totally record a music with just that?thank you
💥👏
What is the audio recorder used for? I've seen a couple of videos with it in their setup, but, can't find out why. Thanks in advance.
Made a video about it here - th-cam.com/video/cy0_TVE_OUo/w-d-xo.html
@@spvidz thanks!
dope beat
Thanks man!
nice custom design
Cheers man! 🙏
i just bought a 2nd SP so i can record while im taping out beats, also to have 2 fx going at once, im not too fond of the sequencer, maybe im just not using it right...
If you have two machines I'd just use the resampe method of making beats. The sequencer is a whole different art i think. I don't like it much either but I know a lot of people use it successfully
spvidz yea exactly, honestly I should try to get better with the sequencer
Yeah same man. I wanna try making some
More beats with it!
great as usuall, but I have an issue when I'm resampling a sound from a pad with a fx on it to another pad because peaking to much, I ajust the level but the sounds its different and lower than the original with de fx , what i can do?
Thats an odd issue man, i've not heard of that. Which MFX are you trying to use? I imagine the one you are trying to use is boosting the volume somehow and therefore making it peak
@@spvidz yeah man it's so anoying, using compression or vinyl sim too or subsonic, I aplied the subsonix fx to get a bass but when use the resampling peaking too much and I have to low the level, then the result its not like firts, i tryed with effect limit but not work
@0:12 that song is actually beautiful.
Can I use it to add FX to beats I already made on my mpc on the mpc software? And do I connect it as a interface
You'll need the right cable to go from your computer to the SP but yeah you can just record onto it and then get the file off the SD - the SX has a really long sample time
lowkey fuckin FIRE.
Nice one thank a lot!
que elegancia
hey man is there a preferred way to contact u? wanted to ask u something
Hey man yeah just DM me on insta. Search spvidz!
Why is the SP popular for lofi? I'm thinking of getting one. I love how it's so small.
I'd say its mainly the FX and also because the 'wonky' vibes you can get from making beats using resampling.
Imo better for Tomato Beats. Even tho it can’t side chain. Ask fly Lo. Nahmean?
besides the sp404, what is a good controller to use that would do about the same job?
Well it depends on a lot of things, what's your budget and what are you actually looking to do? Something that can do the same job as a 404 aint going to be easy to find for cheaper than actually getting a 404
spvidz well I use fl studio but I want a way to be able to chop my sample more fluidly. Have more of a human feel to the chops.
Hi, I need help I’m searching a way to sync two samples together on the sp 404 mkii from weeks and I don’t have it. Do you know how to quantize perfectly to play some samples at the same time ? The only quantization I found is in the resample rec mode but no way to have perfect loops.
Best regards,
Eliott
The best chance you have is using the pattern mode to get them triggering at exactly the same time
@@spvidz thanks for the message. It’s just that when I record manually in pattern mode the loop is not quantized. I want to be able to record say a bar of guitar and a bar of a sampled song and I want them to sync automatically on the same tempo without me having to physically quantize them. Does that make sense ?
Nice beat hommie🔥 but now i want to buy the sp 404sx 🤣
Haha its a fire box man! Thanks for watching
damn same im goona spend all my money on this xDD
but yee fire beat !!
Nice beat
Appreciate it thanks!
Dudeeee can you, or have you explained how does the internal memory of the sp works I can’t really figure it out. Would be awesome more from your knowledge.
Also, how do you travel with your sp? Are you super careful oo just put it in a bag?
Regards and best✌️😊
As far as I'm aware there isn't any internal memory! Its all done using the SD card. I've not done much traveling with it yet but yeah I just threw it in my bag, they're pretty solid
@@spvidz Thank you very much dud, yu're the best!
Even the Coke can is retro...good job
Awesome beat man! What’s the sample you used?
Cheers man - really cant remember the sample sorry, uploaded this like a year ago now :)
0:11
9:00 this effect is soo fun
Chopping made so much easier with the mk2 ❤️
where did the kick and hi hat come from 9:54 ?? All i did was see u turn some knobs... I do not have the sp 404
I'm playing a full recording of a beat from one pad at this point, that was just the point in the song that the drums come in
@@spvidz ohhh i understand... very nice beat
Nice one man, thanks!
Dope track!!! was you playing the beat live into Ableton?
Thanks man, yeah played the whole thing live! Did another take for the track at the end of the vid
Nice. Cos i use ableton too. I’m trying to set my sp up as an external effects source too. Just trying to sort out my routing
cool man, its something I want to look into more as well, I kept getting feedback when I tried because it was making a continuous loop of sound. Need to look at it properly. I've been thinking of doing some Ablelton tutorials...!
spvidz I been getting that loop as well. 😩
@@BlacKeysMusic1 Damn man, I've just been looking at some tutorials but still can't get it to work. Will have a look tomorrow as its late here now!
Could you explain to me how to sx Is different to the a ? It would help a lot
Not sure it’s even worthy of a video. The a has different colours and some extra software to help it link with other Roland products. That’s the only difference
spvidz thanks a lot man , thinking about Buying one and the a was cheaper and a colour i liked more thanks 🙏
No problem 👌
Why the output is on max?
I need to learn finger drumming tbh
Can you copy and paste on Sp 404 OG?
Not sure sorry I don’t own one. I’m think I’ve read you just have to use resample though
how do you import the sample?
probably an rc out from a turntable or some other source to an rc in on his sp404.
Yes either RC through the back of the device or use the official software on the roland website and plug the SD card into my laptop and import samples that way!
SOOO Prince
I’m saving up for a sp 404 sx
What're you using the zoom h5 for?
I used to use it to record all the audio from my sp as I used to have issues with my computer recording. I ended up picking up a new interface and it solved all my problems so I record straight into my computer now 👍
How did you remove the drums from the original track
there either wasn't any in the first place or the FX/drums I add help cover them up :)
Wowowowowowowowow
Thanks for watching!
10:30 for finished beat
This beat is so good
thanks a lot!
where you get those melody samples? btw nice beats im chilled out
Thanks man - just through digging a combination of my vinyl collection and youtube
why do you resample so often? I have only been into beatmaking for about 10 or so months.
Resampling is the only way to add FX to the pads permanently. You can only run one MFX at at time so you have to resample a lot so you can use more than one at a time on a beat
@@spvidz ah ok, I understand now. Thank you!
Glad to help ✨
Which machine is better 404sx or 404 a
They're both pretty much exactly the same to be honest, so whichever you can get cheaper! only difference is the paint job!
partager également !
I want one of these so fucking bad Bro (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ
They’re a lot of fun man! Hope you can get hold of one soon 🤞
when you can see his face in the reflection
🤣
Quem sabe faz ao vivo kkkkk dahora mano
Wack... Just playing lol. All jokes aside, you're doing the SP404sx justice. Keep it going fam.
haha you had me there for a sec....thanks man! Beat ended up a little sketchy to be honest but wanted to show the process mainly
I had to get you lmao lol lol. What made the beat so crazy to me was the imperfection. I'm so not a fan of perfect production lol. Question what made you choose that sample tho? It sounds like a Charlie Parker record. Might be wrong tho lol.
yeah same man thats why I've really tried to focus most of my 'production' in the sp lately. I love the wavey feel. I was just digging some jazz and it came up, the name of the sample is at the start of the vid in the bottom left!
This was not from scratch... it was sample based
true enough!
Too long on the chops but dope
You’re almost there. Try chopping empty samples
