If you have any questions about the MK2 that I can cover in a second video, comment below 👇🏻
Can you assign each pad to a different midi channel?
@@davidgiordano9734 that would be awesome, but i haven’t found anything about that.
Thanks for the fast response!!
Can i connect it via usb to my phone and record video and audio simultaneously?...doesn't need a video I am sure it will take 10 secs to confirm
@@RemyGold Yes you can! I just tried my lightning cable adapter, and it worked! 👊🏻
Love the vibe and your studio/room is incredible. I’m only 18 but when I move out, I thrive to have a creative space like this. So inspiring
Thank you so much my friend 🙏🏻👊🏻
That beat is super dope, brother! Love your workspace too! Super clean! I'm into this sp more and more!
Thanks a lot man, appreciate it! I'm really happy with the setup, a few things I wanna change, but overall I'm happy! The SP is special for sure, I haven't tested the 202 or 303.. but they all have a very unique workflow.
Hearing the kick by itself, I wasn't convinced at all at first... but it blends in so nicely in the end... that's why you the expert and I'm just the watcher/listener haha
Thanks man 👊🏻🧡
Man that beat was lovely.
Thanks 🙏🏻👊🏻
Been waitimg for you to drop this video! Nice beat...i cant wait for mine to arrive 😀
I know I'm a bit late to the party.. some hiccups along the way, like regular job, fam life. I'm glad I waited tho, so I didn't need to make an hour long tutorial 😂. You'll love it! 👊
Awesome video brother, thank you for sharing the pros and the cons. Hopefully they’re able to fix in an update and allow us to pitch multiple samples at once they’ll be coming in handy big time, it’s kind of on the XL I have to pitch each individual pad one by one and it could be a bit tedious.
Thanks fam! There's a few things that I think could be added in a firmware update, we'll see. It's super tedious, specially if do a pass changing everything, and decide to switch back.. workflow killer :/
Nice review bro! It’s about time they added those features 👊🏾🔥💥🥊
Thanks man! Agreed!
1 year later, roland has fixed every con listed
I love this thing, great video! Great beat I learned a ton
Thanks 👊🏻 Yeah, we’ve talked a lot back and forth and they’ve fixed almost everything.. still a few things. Couldn’t be happier that they fixed pitch by percentage to semitones. That’s my baby 😍
@@BoombapArt I feel the same bro, I absolutely love mine
I have a zoom field recorder with me at all times just in case i find a sick sample for the sp to use later
The zoom isn’t needed anymore, just a usb-c cable and your phone 👌🏻🔥. I love messing with the 404.
@@BoombapArt well the zoom has a better mic
Plus I love my zoom haha ease of use and dedicated
Regardless yes that is a great feature, I dont have my sp on me at all times either
I don’t think there’s a huge loss in quality sampling from your phone straight into the 404.. but for convenience, we often don’t change the way we do things as long as they work 😁
Wicked video - tasty tasty beat 🔥🔥🔥
You snapped recording with the 16 Velocity hats!
Much love man! 👊
This was a dope flip! My SP is arriving tomorrow and I cant wait. I'm coming from using the MPC X so I'm excited to learn something new
Boom! Now we’re talking, SP over MPC all day baby. Just kidding! It’s a funky learning curve with the 404s, but once you grasped the basics 🔥
I was waiting for your turn on this... Dope as always 👌
Thanks man 🙏🏻👊🏻 there’s so much to say, and now when I’m a bit late to the party there’s already tutorials out etc. Who knows, I might find something that people haven’t touched on yet.
That sounds mint, nice work.
Thanks 🎅🎄
The one we've been waiting for!
The monster 😁🔥
Vers.1.14: The PITCH and SPEED parameters of multiple samples in a mute group can now be changed simultaneously.
(At the PITCH/SPEED screen, hold down [COPY] and change the parameter.)
Thank you for this. Inspiring
Thanks man 🙏🏻👊🏻
dope beat, man!
can't wait to get my mk2 😍
Thank you Mike 🙏🏻 you’ll love it 💪🏻
Woooooo fireeee 🔥🔥🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks man 🙏🏻👊🏻
Finally I hearing some critics. I didn't know that with the pitch and the other stuff. Quality again on top 👍🏽
Hopefully these cons can be fixed in a future update. Thanks a lot my friend 👊
Your beats always groove SO HARD 👌
Thanks a lot my friend 👊🏻
Awesome demo! Killer beats
Thanks man 🙏🏻👊🏻
Exactly what I wanted Pjer - your channel is so much better now after the studio.. and you make the wait time before my Mk2 arrives feel exactly like waiting for the vaccine 😅 Big up brosjan. Peace.
Borta bra, hemma bäst! 😉 Thanks a lot my friend! 👊🏻
Pure inspiration man!
Thank you 👊🏻
Nice..so many features added that i wanted.
Absolutely, so many helpful features.. still a few things that needs to be fixed!
Not being able to record the pads chromatically is a huge oversight. Like why add it and limit the function like that. Makes baselines a chore to do. Hopefully it’ll be remedied in a future update.
now this is a man who knows his chops.
Thanks 👊🏻
Some really good criticisms from you at the end. Thanks for the reality check.
Thanks man! There’s more things I think could be added, someone mentioned pad mutes.. and it would be nice with a FX limiter or bus limiter! Let’s hope they will fix some of the issues in a future firmware. 👊🏻
Dude this is super tight. I really dig the jam.
Thanks 👊🏻
Preordered and waiting!
Sweet!
*Unbelievable thoughts* 🤗
Thanks fam! 👊🏻
Dope beat, nice crisp samples as usual. Loving the keystep, sp combo too, I use mine with the SX! I’m waiting till later on in the year before getting the mk2, I prefer to wait till they iron out as many flaws as possible.
Thanks man! I’ve used the Keystep with my 404A, MC101 and my MK2.. love that keyboard. Not a bad move, slowly but surely things getting fixed with the MK2.. so to save some headache It might be worth waiting a bit. 👊🏻
Yeah man! The mc101 looks fun, I saw dibiase using in his setup too! Looks like your getting the most out of your setup, which to me is the essential, the maschine is just unbeatable for what it does, I prefer its work flow over the touch screen Mpc’s. It just seems to glue everything in the studio together somehow.
Tight champ 🔥 just stumbled across your channel and subbed 💪🏿
Thanks a lot my friend 👊🏻
No matter the gear, you are always 🔥🔥🔥🔥
You’re so kind! Much love my friend 🧡👊🏻
Dope beat!
Thanks 👊🏻
Awesome ! ! !
Thanks 👊🏻
Smooth! ❤️
Thank you my friend 🙏🏻❤️
The MK2 looking so clean!
Yes it does 😊👌🏻
🔥 as always bro 🙌🙌
Much love my friend 🙏🏻🧡
@@BoombapArt 🙌
Can’t wait for my preorder to ship
Sweet! Who knows, by the time everyone starts getting their preorder.. hopefully there will a new firmware addressing some of the issues like chromatic, and multiple pitching =)
Recording into the sequencer with chromatic mode for bass lines would be killer. Perhaps even polyphonically for oneshot keys and whatnot…c’mon Roland - let’s fix this before my pre-order arrives 😆
Fingers crossed that they get some issues fixed before they start shipping out! 👊🏻
Your prayers were answered haha.
F$&*en ay! Step sequencer to boot that doesn’t have to be rigidly quantised. 🕺🏿💃🏾
Dope beat brother 🙌🔥🔥🔥
Thanks fam 👊🏻
Super Soulful Banger
Thanks man 👊🏻
Preordered mine. Know about it’s limitations. Biggest one for me personally isn’t step sequencer but no option to track out individual tracks and lack of pad mutes. Still I believe there will be workarounds and firmare updates or I will use that box with my other samplers (MPC Live, S2400, MPC2500). There was always something magical about those small calculators and now with that new machine - I just needed to get one and try.
Ah nice! I mean it's nothing like the MPCs, Maschines.. the 404 lineup is unique in so many ways. They sure did a good job with this one adding a lot good features, but yeah.. like pad mutes, multiple pad pitching, maybe a limiter to the bus chain, step seq + swing as well as sidechaining. The list can go on forever. Hopefully there will be firmware updates tackling some of these things.
@@BoombapArt no pad mutes ? It's the way i would use it most i think
@@vincentdelmas2792 no pad mutes 😢
@@BoombapArt as you mentioned, hopefully it would be included in a software update.
Is there pad mutes on the 404 sx?
I don’t think so, I have the 404A and there’s no pad mutes.
Great vid’ and beat as usual !! Does your keystep trigger samples from your sp ? Sort of mpc-keygroup making use of the new chromatic function on the 404 ? That would be awesome, allowing to sample 1 note and get a whole synth in live context. Not sure I made myself clear 😅, hope so 🙏
Thanks man! 👊🏻 I hear you loud and clear. I recorded the bass using ext in this video, but I need to see if that works.. sampling one note and use the keyboard.
Great beat as always. The new SP looks very interesting but the delivery time is a nightmare 🤯 14-18 weeks in my country.
Wow, 14-18 weeks 😱. Damn! Thanks a lot my friend. It looks awesome and with all the new features added.. I’ve had a blast messing around with it!
Great video, start saving for one.
Btw, I don’t think that adjusting tune by percentage is a con, but is definitely necessary when you sample from old vinyls, where tempo and tunes are not constant.
Thanks man! For me it’s just personal preference, and the name “vinyl mode”.. a bit corny in my opinion. I do sample vinyl all the time, but I haven’t come across “vinyl mode” or pitching in percentage in any other sampler/groovebox.. I guess it’s a personal thing
However.. I’m glad that they added a proper pitch! 🔥💪🏻
Fire 🔥
Thanks man 👊
Simplement supe🔥👍🏾💪🏾🙌🏾🌍
Thank you 🙏🏻 👊🏻
So nice
Thank you 🙏🏻
Dope beat. Looking forward to you doing a tutorial on how to make a beat with it. How the workflow is.
Thanks man! Putting that on my list, I’ll try to cover that soon! 👊🏻
@@BoombapArt dope!
Nice Production always!!! greetings bro 🎛
Thanks a lot my friend! 🙏🏻👊🏻
Nice work bro. Can't believe I just found your channel. Whats your bass tone coming from?
Thanks man! I used my favorite bass presets from Massive "Just Bass"..had the maschine software with massive open.
That’s a great sample
Thanks 👊
Sick beat man. The MK2 looks like fun. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for firmware updates though. I'm still waiting for all the bug fixes on my MV-1 to come out...come on Roland...new products are great but only if you can roll out the new firmware fixes in a timely manner imho...anyway. Love your vids man. Peace
Thanks man, appreciate it 🙏🏻👊🏻 It is a lot of fun, even tho it’s faster and easier to use, still the unique sp workflow. Oh, haven’t used my MV1 in a while.. maybe should make a new video with that one alongside the 404 MK2! 👊🏻
@@BoombapArt I would love to see them both in action together! Word up!
the beat is straight fire
Thanks 🙏🏻
regret getting the digitakt this week. trying to learn music production and this seems more my alley.
That thing have been on my wishlist for a looooooong time, at some point I might grab the Digitakt. I think you’re able to do more stuff on the digitakt compared to the sp, you have step seq, live record.. but you don’t have the FX. Not sure how it works with arranging on the Digitakt and they made it simple in the MK2 with patt chaining.
@@BoombapArt Send Digitakt Into SP MK2, #FX4Dayz. I have a Digitakt now & SP MK2 on the way. can't wait to try that out.
Yes, semitone pitching please! Sooo close to get it just right ;)
YES YES YES!
So basically if I have an mpc live (better sampling, sequencing, pitching) and sp 404A (effects) there is no need to get a sp404 mkII. However, I might snatch it next year since the price is only 500 dllrs.
The truth is.. if you're happy with your current setup and don't use the SP for beatmaking.. it's not necessary to grab it. I have the 404A, but now I will run this alongside my Maschine Plus, MPC2500 or whatever I'm currently using. MK2 is much easier to use, faster workflow.. but it's still a SP
You CAN pitch by semi. Hell it even time stretches. It's a secondary function in pitch screen.
As for pitching multiple pads. Yes. I noticed in the manual you can't do it. You can at least set the volume for the whole bank. Maybe they add pitch in there too.
It does have a guitar amp sim on the input so I'll forgive them. That's a really dope function for guitar players. Being able to hook your guitar straight into the SP and jam... Priceless.
Also another bummer is the envelope. If you turn on Gate mode it ignores the envelope release which is stupid.
Yeah you can pitch my semi/cents in the first mode.. but then you have to adjust both speed and pitch.. that's a NO NO for me, I'm oldscool. You pitch up it goes fast, pitch down it goes slow. I need to hook up my guitar and see what I can do, that's a really nice feature. Oh, I didn't know that.. I tuned off all when I did this beat, I usually prefer to hold down the pads when making my beats, but I had to try the one-shot style with the mute group feature. Still a few things they need to add like pitching multiple, maybe pad mutes.. but I think those things can be "easily" fixed with a firmware update.
@@BoombapArt yeah. Definitely. It's still a great improvement over the last one. Same $. No brainer
@@alecsbuga Agree! I think they did a great job with this one, huge improvements!
@@BoombapArt did you turn off "Vinyl" mode? I've seen demos that show a different pitch screen that lets you adjust the semitone + or - directly.
@@patto2k358 the other mode let’s you control both speed and pitch.. but that’s more like time stretching unless you change the speed as well.. I’m not a fan of that mode. Just gimme semitones in “vinyl mode” so I can sleep good at night.. and pitching multiple samples at once 😁
VERY NICE
Thank you 👊🏻
Thanks!
Thank you 👊🏻

Thanks man 🙏🏻🧡
Hi, yes, so I’m starting a Roland Fight club in which everybody throws hands for the other’s equipment lol, seeing that you got the newest mk2 I think you’d make a PRIME combatant lol. (Please join, we’re sick of trying to sell our old stuff to people who want the new stuff so WE CAN HAVE THE NEW STUFF)
Let’s go!
BOOM! 👊🏻
Great beat and discussion. I saw you were controlling it from the keystep. Can you control effect parameters from the keystep as well? (e.g. send cc to control filter cutoff)
Thank you 👊🏻 That’s a good question, I need to investigate that further.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks 🙏🏻 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Great video 🙌 The question for all of you sampling masters is whether sp-404Mk2 is good for beginners and for those who would sample purely out of enjoyment or you have some other suggestion? Thanks 👍
Thanks 👊🏻 even if the new MK2 is a huge improvement from the previous models when it comes to sample editing.. it’s not as intuitive as a MPC or Maschine, and maybe not super beginner friendly. Sure there’s a learning curve to the MK2, but same goes with any gear really. I really like the skipback function in the MK2, that’s quite unique and really useful if you just jamming or come across a nice sample and forget to record, then you have 25sec skipback! I do think everyone should have a SP in their arsenal due to its versatility (sampling, sound processing, performing, beatmaking).. I leave the final decision up to you 😁👊🏻
@@BoombapArt Wow thanks for the lightning fast answer 🙌 you are the best! So far I've only played with PO-33 and I really liked the ability to sample and make beats. After watching all the possible videos about this device, I think I will order SP-404 MK2, so I will embark on the waters of sampling 😁 Thank you again!
Boom!
BOOM! 👊
Sorry if you answered this on the other questions, just didn't find it. Are you playing a sample chromatically on the Keystep? I know theres the Chromatic shift function but I'm super curious if it can be controlled via a midi keyboard through the new Midi Out. Thanks man, love the video. Cheers
I’m playing the bass on the Keystep not in chromatic, but recorded it ext 👊🏻
That flip was intense!!! 🔥 what’s the sample? I know I’ve heard it!
If you sample something and chop it up or resample it, can you drag those samples off the machine in the software so that you can use them in future projects? I’ve seen drag and drop onto the unit in videos, but never drag and drop off the unit.
Yes you can! 👊🏻
Good review, I feel like it needs direct record, just in case you want to record a live instrument on top of the loop.
That’s possible if you’re using the resampling method, or just capture your jam with the skip back sampling feature, only 25sec tho.. but the resampling works, and you can chose if you want it mixed or as a separate recording that you can add later into the pattern seq. That’s what I did with the bass..
@@BoombapArt thanks for replying back 👊🏾 , I wasn’t sure how recorded the Bass, I thought you midi it and played it chromatically.
Great vid. Roland handed a bunch if these out apparently, missed my chance
Thanks 👊🏻 don’t know how they selected the lucky ones.. 🤷🏼♂️
Moos looking from afar... Good on!
Thanks 👊🏻
Would love to see a Maschine Plus + MKII video!
That will come!
@@BoombapArt good because it’ll be a decider on if I buy one HAHAAAA
You can use Koala on your phone or tablet to create the sample and pitch then send it to the SP until they update or fix it.
Can you pitch multiple samples at once in Koala? One way to speed up the process is to hook it up to the computer and use the software and change the pitch that way.. if you have your computer close by.
Suveränt broder!
Kärlek broder.. vi har fler saker att klura ut 😂
@@BoombapArt Aah det är bara slå en pling när du behöver ett bollplank hahah
Nice! How many sounds are included in this little thing? Thank you.
It came with one project saved with a couple of beats/sounds.
It would be cool if you could export the pattern stems on this device. From reading the manual it doesn't seem to have this feature. Still have one on preorder tho!!
That would be a nice feature, but at least we can duplicate/crop/copy a segment of a pattern. 💪🏻
@@BoombapArt Actually that copy function would allow you to export stems. You could duplicate that pattern and remove elements till you have the individual stem and then resample.
Or make one pattern, turn the volume down of the samples you don’t want and then resample 😉👊🏻
Can someone explain to me what the piano/controller/synth is and how he used it with mk2?
The keyboard is Arturia Keystep.. and the way I used it in this video was recording from the computer into the sp.. at first I wanted to use the midi, but realized that my Arturia midi adapters didn’t work but I didn’t remove them. You need these Roland Boss midi cables. Here’s another video where I used the keyboard to play the bass on the keyboard th-cam.com/video/fFXaZVHQWK0/w-d-xo.html
can you resample while using another sequencer to trigger the MK2?
I need to check that! I’ll get back with an answer or in a video showing 👊🏻
would you recommend roland mk2 for producing beats as a beginner? i dont know if i should get akai mpc one or roland
I have very little experience when it comes to Akai products, but a MPC One or something like a Maschine has a much better sequencer, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make beats with the MK2. If you really dedicate your time to learn the MK2 inside out you’ll find the strength and the weaknesses.. but I do however think the MPC or Maschine are bit more user friendly, but I highly recommend anyone to have an SP in their arsenal for its versatility! 🔥👊🏻
The cons will not stop me from adding this gadget to my arsenal..
As mentioned.. maybe not “cons”, more personal preferences. I do think a lot of these “cons” can be fixed in a firmware update! I definitely think everyone should have the SP in their arsenal 🔥👌🏻
@@BoombapArt 😎..
while playback is running , Shift+Bank ../turn Encoder to lower down the whole Bank
[[super kraas....must have soon one
It's really nice I must say :)
I have a couple questions!
1:) Does it have any kind of global limiter, or FX limiter setting? I'm pretty sure that the old 404sx had an 'effects limiter' you could turn on to tame any unexpected peaks or super loud resonance that might accidentally blow peoples eardrums when using crazy FX haha
2:) In DJ Mode, can you label your tracks/pads with a song name? So you can more quickly load up the song you are looking to transition into, instead of having to just pull up unnamed pads and having to remember which is which all the time?
cheers!
1. I can't find anything anything about a limiter.. not globally, or FX.. might have missed something. Imma look into it.
2. You can't label the tracks, if you import your tracks as "beat 1-2-3-4" etc.. that's the name they'll have in Dj Mode.. and let's say you use the skipback function and use that in Dj Mode, I think its called "new sample" and I don't think you can rename it.
@@BoombapArt Thanks for the reply! So you CAN name your tracks at the time you import them. So I guess then, when you import your tracks you should take care in naming them properly so DJ mode becomes easier. Cheers
@@schmapps1 Exactly! That’s a good practice.. and you can see the info of a pad my holding the remain button, and you’ll see the name, unfortunately not in DJ mode.. but you’ll see the name once you selecting a pad in the menu.
Should I get this or the Akai Force which just got a MIDI cc control update and other stuff for sampling. I don't have enough money yet, I am trying to find a cheap workstation, maybe a KP3+ Kaoss Pad? Right now I am using an iPad with Koala and an Akai MPD218 for sampling and drums.
Oh, that’s a tricky one. Never tried the force, but that one seems more like a complete workstation. There’s so many good options available like MPC Live, One, Maschine Plus.. and for the price of the Force you could get the MPC One + SP404 MK2.
👂🏾🔥
Thanks 👊🏻
Do you know if you can midi slave the sp on your keystep while recording in pattern mode on the sp? It would be great to program in a step sequencer and capture the midi notes by recording it in a pattern.
That’s a great question. I need to check that out! Couldn’t make up my mind if I wanted to sample a bass note and play it chromatically, or try to resample ext.
This worked on the old SP so don't see why it wouldn't on the new one
@@davemachine as long as the samples live somewhere on the sp it shouldn’t be a problem using a keyboard
@@davemachine On the old one's, you can capture midi notes with the pattern record function. The only problem is if you want to record a sequence from an external sequencer. In this case, you need to start the record on the sp and manualy sync the start of your external sequencer. This is inconvenient because both sequencers are not perfectly align. It often miss the fist note or insert a silence at the beginning of the sequence. Syncing them would alow you to "import" sequences done on a more capable sequencer.
@@gabrielrebelo Yeh it is a bit tricky, but I've found putting quantisation on helps to record all the notes more accurately.
Can you record into the MK2 while a sequence is playing? Looks like you are at 2:35 but not totally clear, thanks!
Not a pattern seq unless you have the samples loaded onto the sp.. which I didn’t have in this case, so I recorded the bass EXT over a skip back track and used the resample to capture the bass, and added it into the seq.
But I now realized that I just could’ve resampled my pattern while recording the bass EXT as a separate recording.. oh well..
This might be a dumb question but can you create full songs in this 404 ? New to SP’s used MPC’s in the past & pre-ordered this 1 so wasn’t sure. .
No such thing as a dumb question, no questions no answers 😉👊🏻. Yes, you can create a full song in the SP! They’ve added pattern chaining, but you can also use the resampling method to have each pad as a part of your track and track out these live inside your DAW.
how do you connect a midi keyboard to the sp?
Midi out keystep, midi in on the SP
So can you put in rechargeable batteries and charge them up via USB-C?
Hmm, not sure if that works.. 🤔
Just got a confirmation, it doesn’t work!
Here is my big question - Is there any reason to use this with the maschine mk3/plus? Seems like the updates make this almost like its own stand alone beat production unit.
Absolutely, whether it’s an older model or the MK2, anything paired with an SP is a win 👌🏻. Sure, the new one is much easier to use, but the sequencer isn’t close to like the MK3/Plus, MPC or MC101/707. The SP can be used for so many things, beatmaking, processing sounds or just run the beats through it and do some live performing fx.
@@BoombapArt the answer I was looking for. Have the MK3 and wondering if the SP404 MK2 would compliment. You caught a new sub. Respect sir.
You answered like a 100 questions in a minute
There’s probably 100 more.. but now there’s tutorials out already!
You do your hats like I do mine. I like at least 4.
