v4.04 for the SP404 released on 04/04
Very clever Roland.
😂 thought they’d finished with DJ mode using D and J but they’re is obviously a weapon on the dev team
And with a huge error. Not so clever.
..in 20..24
@@artisans8521 what error?
When you load a sample from SD card and then resample, the unit crashes and reboots. Huge mistake.
Once again Roland listens to their community, giving the users what they ask for and not getting a re-hashed unit that can barely get the new features working on it. I love my 404Mk2 already this is an amazing update! Thank you Roland!!!
I love the fact that Roland just didn't put out a product and abandon the community (Maschine lol). They listen to the community, and continue to put value into this little powerhouse!🙏🏾✊🏾💚
@@lindasson Then again, one might argue how unfinished was the released product if two and a half years later it still requires feature updates. But I agree, this is exactly what made the OG Circuit popular too, they kept updating and making the device better and better. You support the device, we support the device. Simple, really.
Give the people what they want, not what they need and you end up with all the paints mixed to produce a muddy useless brown
I sold my 404 mk2 looks like I gotta buy another one again. This feature set is amazing
@pirateradioFPV Even if it came out with all these features from day 1, people would still ask for more without even first mastering all that's there, or some would say it's too many features.
Just wanted to say thank you to the Roland team for the SP404mk2 update and the new 4.05 fix. What a wonderful machine you've now brought to light to us songwriter types.
That Koala app integration is such a community centric feature. We appreciate ya'll.
That Koala integration really proves Roland has their ear in the streets
what's koala?.. what's a tablet?!
lol @@defcreator187
what a 80iq statement lol@@defcreator187
@@defcreator187Although I haven't used Koala yet, I know plenty of sp users who do. Also music is music, it doest matter what gear it's created on even it is an app. As long as the if person is having fun and genuinely creating something then go for it. We all had to start somewhere.
this one feature instantly has me checking the price
Lets goooo 🔥🔥🔥
Please do more vidz using the MK2 with Ableton!
I cant export projects anymore after the update. Does it happen to you as well?
This guy’s vibe is that of someone talking you through harness safety procedures before going on a big zip line and I love it
WE CAN MAKE A BASS IN THE MACHINE AAAAAHHHHHHH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
@@dolorblindAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
already could using waveform samples...
@@8iamretarded8 this response stinks
Man this is a massive update. Wow.
Oh my god, the loop mode might fix the one issue I had with the SP series. I can't wait to try this out, this is incredible
If you can live loop like boss RCs without stopping the pattern on the SP that's great!
04-04-2024, and the 404 day. And the roland sp404mk2 updates.
Thanks Roland.
Ain’t no way! What a time to be alive 🎉🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
So tru dat.
My MKII comes in today, crazy timing with the update! im so excited to start messing around with it as I have alot to learn since the last "sampler" i had was a PO-33 KO.
Yooo same. Got one arriving in a couple days.
Man if only we could merge the pattern chain into a single pattern. Then you could make stems for a whole beat in one motion. The final piece of the puzzle. Hopefully they will add 8 bars to the looper. I'd hoped the looper would record directly a selected pad, so you could use in a live scenario. With all that said, this shit is amazing. They are indeed killin it.
I think looper can be set to record either full MIX or only EXTIN (by holding shift = more options). So you can record pad sounds as well. But 8 bars would be even better!!! Agreed.
yes to merge pattern chain to a single pattern🔥
Importing samples while playing in DJ Mode is HUGE!
Funny to see this dude on here. He puts out REALLY good garage edits on his bandcamp
PJ is a legend… def check his tunes
You guys are just amazing. The MKII is turning out to be one of the best investments I've made. From the beginning it solved most of the problems I had with the SX, and now this solves pretty much any remaining issues I have. And your collaboration with Elf Audio is one of the best moves I've seen in the industry in ages. Well done, Roland!
yea it is kibd of crazy that a massive corp. like roland would be willing to work directly with a pretty small indie developer like elf audio and integrate their $2.99 app.
it really speaks to how amazing koala is.
This is such an insane update, and I love that it's version 4.04
The King has returned. Edit: We can finally customize individual button colors per bank. A game changer.
🔥🔥 Koala, Stems, Loop capture! 🥵🥵
Absolutely perfect! The looping function has reinvigorated the SP for the better in my case. I never thought it could be implemented into the already dense 404 workflow, and now a couple of compositions in and it's basically all I really wanted to write and get inspired on my SP. Plus many more features years into the life cycle of the product is pure gold.. All other music gear companies take note, Bravo Roland!
Very cool. I just realized the Koala integration gives me stem separation. The support for this device has been excellent. Thank you.
Also you can check the new Multipad Export function 😀
Just took my 404 off the market. WOW! Now let’s show some special love for the Mc 707. Maybe on 7/07/2024
Microscrope feature changes everything for sampling. Thank you Roland!!!!😆
feature-request:
1, let Looper sync with the project, bank tempo or even a single sample.
2, if a Looper audio combines multiple takes, audios, and parts. It can be separated to different pads after records, without stopping playing music.
3, let Looper define the globe project tempo, and be able to put new records (by using Looper) directly into the pattern sequencer.
Whoop whoop!! 😎 What an awesome update!! 👌🏻 A bit late to the party, but so glad I’ve got myself a SP-404mk2 last month 😊 Big thumbs up to #Roland for just another great update 👍🏻 Don’t know why I stuck so long with Maschine+, which is a great groove box, too, but with wat less dedication from the makers. And the Koala app integration… well didn’t see that one coming 😅 but brilliant what this collaboration brought us users 👏🏻 and then I haven't even mentioned all the otherwise very welcome enrichments, such as the Looper Mode 🙏🏻 Thanks! Also for the great introduction video 🍒 🍰
Happy 404 day,
Thank you for your love for the instrument. The SP 555 pattern and looper create is 🔥. The MC 707 / 101 needs an editor for the synth, a simple compression / add sidechain function would also be great. Creating random names where you save/rename e.g. projects etc would be nice, in all your products.
Firmware 404 on the SP 404 on the day 4/4/24🔥
Thanks and happy 404 day
Great updates Roland. Thank you.
One slept on feature comes from the MS-1 and, that is the custom midi mapping of all pads individually to whatever midi note you want.
(For those users unaware, the MS-1 is the grandfather machine of the entire SP line).
It's something so simple that I keep asking for and, not sure why it was never added. This slept on feature alone would consolidate the integration of this SP with MPCs and, other devices. It's 2024.
For example, I have my MPC 2KXL`s top 8 pads directly mirroring and controlling pads 1-8 on the MS-1.
All 16 pads of the SP404MK2 should be able to mirror any MPC`s 16 pads by custom midi mapping.
Much love from Portugal to Japan! Keep it up Roland!
Fantastic update - thank you Roland for such a wonderful, creative instrument. It's been great for years, but just keeps getting better!
This one is the most valuable update till now !! 😁 Thank You Roland !
Excellent update all around! My SP404Mk2 is going with me everywhere.
This is amazing! I'm so excited for this update.
I needed this in my life. Thanks, Roland
Yo updated sp-555 looper that is amazing. That was the first Sp I ever rocked. Nice job Roland.
I bough my first ever 404 last week and this comes out. My jaw is on the floor
This updates are really amazing Roland you do a really great job ❤
You are really killing it these days Roland! Big thanks from a happy customer🙏🏻
much love to Roland for continuously improving their Gear - i will focus on their products more when i know it is a give and take process behind companys behavoir
Damn. This thing just keeps getting better and better. Thank you Roland! 👏🏻
You made the SP so great with the looper update. thank you thank you!!!
Thank you Roland, the dedication to the users that you're manifesting is something we'll remember for a long time. :) Happy to be a Roland user!
This machine just keeps getting better and better ❤
Great Roland! You rock the Sp404 Mk2 to legendary status. Keep Rollin and keep listening to your community! Great Work :)
This is the update I’ve been waiting for. Thank you Roland!
Gonna be going ham with that looper🔥🔥🔥
Amazing update! Well done.
You listening and we keep buying. Thnaks for the great Update!
This is an amazing update! I think the only other thing that would make the SP404 one of the best affordable sampler on the marker right now is the possibility to have a band pass filter per sample like the one on the Digitakt, in order to avoid destructive filtering resampling and to be accessible like the Start/End tweaks
Roland this is a a really new toy now! Thank you so much, it is really appreciated!
Had to double check I didn't get fooled by a devilishly cruel prank for the 1st of the month upon learning about these new features, almost sounded too good to be true honestly, it's like Roland were spying on conversations I had in the last few months were I fantasized about a possible future update where they'd add a proper live looping feature and make this already SSS- Class instrument the perfect piece of gear for my needs...The fact they really did it, amongst a fat load of other excellent features, even as they didn't "need" to do shit for the device to sell more than well enough, gives me the highest respect for Roland and the love they've consistantly shown their customers and the craft of legendary pieces of music gear. I am for real ecstatic about this update, wishing all my fellow SP-Dawgs to have a blast with these new features
You all killed it
Thanks for the Loop Capture features.. very convenient!! 🤩
Thanks for great updates for great device!❤️
Down low, I feel like Roland is been taking the easy way out, nut when it comes to the SP-404, they being showing they know how to do updates and improve a product to the max. Kudos for that.
This may be the most consumer forward update I've ever seen to any product. Roland has had their ear to the ground in a major way.
Thank you Roland! Absolutely love my 404
Love waking up to this!!!
Awesome update! Every flaw is fixed now. This finally makes the SP404MKII the perfect sketchpad for dawless music production.
unfortunately the update also included some bugs which crashes the SP when resampling ... I hope a fix is coming soon.
So many awesome updates, looking forward to downloading and checking it out. Koala integration is a fantastic addition!
this morning was like bday, thanks for your gift roland!
Beautiful, happy 404 day!
I like it a lot. It's a grate upgrade to this amazing device
Looper is super handy, and the undo for the last step makes it very useful
Thanks for listening to community
Thanks for the update!
3 future features I would like to request:
1-longer skipback time, if possible
2-"VHS" fx (similar to current "cassette" fx)
3-for the sound not to cut out when you turn the encoder in Chromatic mode (playing notes then turning the encoder to reach other octaves will currently cut out the notes you are playing)
Thanks for your consideration !
I have been thinking about these for a while thought I might mention them here now that I see you are still updating the mkii
Man, you guys kicked it out of the park.
Thanks a lot for the "Recording midi notes into patterns without having to have a blank sample on them". I use my 404 with some analogue mono synths and being able to use it as a "mothership" is super helpful.
I bought my 404 this year, and it's so freaking fun to mess around, but it just got even better with this
In one update you just destroyed Teenage engineering!! 😮😮
You’ll probably see more peeps using their teenage engineering gear with Sp404
@@mindalteringfx316TE needs to allow midi cc though. That’s a big deal and Roland just nailed it with Koala.
@@bjamminsincebirth3494 I use the op1 for the midi keyboard. Haven’t figured out how to map the knobs yet but midi cc would definitely be dope. I’m sure it’s in the pipeline or they may make a separate knob controller.
SMASHED them to bits and pieces!
Sarah the illstramentalist just posted a loop jam with the op1 on her ig
I had to watch when I saw PJs face next to my favorite brand of samplers!
This is awesome! Koala integration is a game changer!
I’ve given my SP404 MK2 as a gift to my younger brother, knowing that the time would be right to get another one for myself. Then after watching a few videos after the 4.04 firmware update was released, I ordered a new one for me. The looper, the stems export, and other quality of life improvements…Roland is on it. It also says a lot about how this little box that could just keeps getting better and better. Impressive.
Hey @RolandChannel ! Thank you for another great update! Here are some suggestions for future update:
1. When using sound generator, would be nice to access this feature with Poly Mode on by default to be able to try waves playing polyphonic melodies and not be stuck with mono.
2. Still in sound generator, would also be very nice to have access to ADSR by pressing ''start/end'' or ''pitch/speed'' before even resampling.
3. When playing Chromatic Poly Mode, would be awesome to have an arpeggiator by holding ''Roll'' and different pads.
4. Now that you've added additional scales in ''Chromatic'' menu, i would love to see a ''chord mode'' that would be a game changer...
5. Make the ROLL feature more fun to use just like on any MPC worlflow, when pressing a pad while ROLL is pressed activate the ROLL effect, different time divisions could be accessed by pressing ROLL + BANK A to J, favourite time divisions could be set and saved in a dedicated menu just like favourite FXs...
Again thank you for the time and effort you put in order to update our favourite toy
re 4. yes! arpeggiator!!
Thanks Roland, Dope update!
We just missing step sequencer update and this will be the dream machine!
I just bought one a month ago and said "It would be cool if it did" three things you just added! You guys are awesome.
I had a feeling a big update was coming, let’s goooo
Grateful. Love this damn machine!
What an insane update!!!
Shout outs to whoever made those background beats.
Well done guys👏👏! Love from Slovakia.
Next level
For Roland🎉
Fantastic update! 🔥
HUGE update, love u Roland 🔥
this is insane and more than i had hoped for
Amazing update. Thanks 🙏
Besides my new Roland SH-4D, this will be my sampler to pair with it! Superb! Greetings from The Netherlands 🍊
Let's gooooo! Happy 404 Day 🎉🎉
This makes the sp even more of a great tool for experimental and ambient music! Seemless loops, where the end of the loop bleeds into the begginin of the loop is a game changer😊
I'm coming from this angle as well and I also have a percussion background. I have been making okay drum loops but finding that the looper picks up the 1 beat again which makes it sound a bit off
Nice to have access to all the sample banks in Koala Sampler. Been using the Sp404 and Koala together for a while.
seriously a perfect match
Looping and Stem export at game changer and makes SP so well integrated with DAW based music production ❤
Excellent job, Rolland! I'm so glad I selected it over Digitakt
Wow Roland are the one to watch. What a great update
ooh damn I was really hoping for per step FX edits ;^) but STILL, a fantastic update to a lovely little machine!
sound generator + looper 🙌
Loving that midi note trigger in the pattern…sped up workflow
Holy shit they actually did it, game changing for me 🔥🔥🔥
I have a mpc one, but i am very seriously considering getting this one instead. This koala integration >>>> akai`s “coming soon” stems separation ( which is gonna cook the mpc lol).
I think theres huge potential in keeping the hardcore heavy lifting like stems separation, timestretch etc on our very powerful phones/pads, and then work on connect ability to other hardware. Very promising, Roland !
Trying it now the koala integration is exceptional. It’s like a really good dedicated koala controller. It extends both devices and opens up new workflows. It also opens up new ways of finishing tracks without a computer.
great job! thanks rolland for hardware for people
this made my day!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you guys !!!! SPGANG
we love this new update roland!!!!
Complete your Destiny. What an update 😎🪄
Awesome update
