Another generous explanation! 👍
...for anyone wondering about MIDI, you'll need a "type A" breakout cable.
(The common "type B" looks identical, but is useless on the MK2) ✌️
Thanks for that man 🙌
Lol that wasn't in the video?
Just ordered myself a 404 appreciate this video helped me visualize what I need
Great stuff man, welcome to the SP gang! I hope my archive will help you out too 👍
Just got my sp404mk2 today this video right on time !!🥳🔥
Nice! Hope you are enjoying it!
thanks for making this video dude
No problem!
cables mentioned:
USB C to USB A (+ dongle) for phone/cpu connection
1/4 inch jack to RCA cable for older input connect (older SPs, tvs, record player)
Love your content brother !! Keep it up!! I’m buzzin to get my 404 next week - deffo gonna grab some of your sample packs and watch your vids a thousand times each LOL I’m excited to make beats in a totally different way man
you can use a usb c to usb c cable if you use android for sampling or recording your projects ,you can also use a micro sd card (mine 128gigas) works fine for me,this machine has so much to offer for his size,your tutos has help me a lot in 2 weeks (I have not creating a single track,I'm just learn all the tricks before I get started.but the experience is awesome
It’s incredible for its size and price. I’ve had a few people say they struggle to do the updates using micro SD and an adapter but you could just use a separate SD for updates 👍
Thank you
you're the man!! thank you so much
No problem at all :)
Great vid mate. So you can send your mixes from the SP into a DAW like FL Studio or Ableton with simply just one USB connection to the computer?
Yes, it will just be a stereo signal but I use it all the time now. its especially useful when you are using the MK2 for treating samples with FX!
Another one from the og
Appreciate it 😎
Great video! Question for you :) what external monitors/speakers would you recommend for these? Looking to spend $200 or so. And do those speakers plug in to the line out? I don’t want to use this with a computer, just standalone :) sorry for the dumb questions, I’m kinda new to this. Coming from a desktop with FL Studio :)
That’s quite a low budget for speakers so don’t expect anything too amazing. I’ve got rokkit 5s for the same reason. They were a good entry level price but it was years ago and I don’t really know the market now. The best thing to do is take a look at what you can get for that money and then look on TH-cam for reviews. Any yeah you can just go straight of the outputs. One to each speaker 👍
@@spvidz thank you so much dude, I appreciate you taking the time to respond :) I kinda figured that’s a little cheap after posting this, so I’ll save up a little more. Thanks again!
I was hoping you were gonna cover if I should be getting TRS 1/4 or TS 1/4 lol :p MPC Live 2 to SPMK2 and back
I've gotta hold my hands up and say I don't know much about the topic other than TRS is supposed to help get a cleaner signal. I think I've pretty much always stuck to TRS but Its definitely an area where I need to do more research!
@@spvidz after some research the input dual jacks take TS unbalanced signals only and the out jacks take TRS. You can use either cables for certain applications but in some cases it may be best to use on or the other. For example from what I’ve read you want to use TS when coming out of a guitar. And in my case TS when running out of my Tascam 464, that thing is noisy as is lol
Yeah man I think we read the same thing. I think TS is best for mono as well so I'm a bit confused as the SP has both left and right inputs. Maybe I'll get a TS and TRS and see if I can notice any difference!
@@spvidz let me know if you find a noticeable difference!
I know this is an old video, but I’m still a bit confused on how to chain my 303 and 404. I basically want to record samples into my 303 from my laptop, then into my 404 to chop and then record into my DAW from the 404.
Is using a cd player okay? Im guessing the best way to get sound is my vinyl player or laptop
Thank you 😊
Every time I watch your videos I find something new that gets me hyped about the SP dude. I'm kinda confused as to why there are 3 line inputs. What's the difference between the line inputs on the back and the mic/guitar input on the front? Is it just that one is stereo and one is mono?
Glad to hear that man. Input wise I'm not completely sure. I guess its just to have the option of having something else plugged in too. The L input on the back is mono too so yeah, not sure the reasoning behind it other than just having another one. Maybe someone else might be able to explain better...!
Ah fair enough - so I guess there'd be no issue plugging guitar into the line in? 🤔
Managed to break the guitar input recently... Should be an easy fix but I'm lazy
New to all of this, so if you know anything about it, it helps a lot.
When are you Dropping a vid showcasing the new features man?😏😜
I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about... 🤪
I’m a bit confused on what cables I need, I want to my SP to my Focusrite 2i4. What cables would I get? RCA/quarter in jacks?
yeah and then record both lines on one track, or you could do RCA - XLR although I got a cable like that and it was pretty noisy for some reason. Could just be the cable I'm not sure
Just ordered the 404. Does it have built in speakers?
Dope! No it doesn't have its own speakers
Can I hook up my korg krome keyboard up to the sp404 mk2?
Yo spvidz, does using all those adapters and tinny (low budget) cables affect the sound in any way?
Not that I’ve noticed. You could always go for something more high-end if you wanted but 99% of the time I’m making gritty beats anyway so it doesn’t really matter too much
can i sample from a daw through an audio interface and then record the sp404 into the daw always through the audio interface?
its possible with the right set-up but its really fiddly to pull off. Try looking at videos for Guitar FX pedals as instead as they are more popular, then apply the same thing. Something like this - th-cam.com/video/IZPNkK-PDsw/w-d-xo.html
¿where did you get those knobs? would love a full woodgrain look and sticker it
I can speak from experience that styleflip does a good job as far as custom skins, mine fit perfect and looks great... I used a photo I found of traditional Japanese wood block art on Google images and the resolution looks good! I also got knobs from chromacaps online
@@squidessentialmusic i've seen some that look like actual wood faceplates but they could've been good decals. will for sure check styeflip out, thanks
@@XFCTR22 oh nice! Cremacaffe has some sweet designs too but im in the US 😔.. good luck man!!
Peep my vid here - Wooden dials on the Roland SP404 MK2 ???

how do you get your beats from your sp to your computer? the usb export doesn't work for me
USB export doesn't work? 🤔 You can't just export an entire track and then play it on your computer ETC. That can't be done with the MK2. You will need to resample it down to one pad and then export that pad via the SD card. You can resample via pattern mode and 'record' the whole beat down to one track if you need to. I tend to just record my track out of the SP into something else like Ableton to get the final beat
love u bra
💚
When I record from my sp into ableton there is a subtle high pitched buzzing noise in the recording do you know what this may be from ?
Sp404sx btw
Well its hard to say it could be the SX, your audio interface or the cables, or a combination of all three. I've always found my SX to be noisy but my beats are usually quite gritty anyway so it doesn't really matter. You could try reducing the level of the SP and increasing it on your interface first and see if that helps
@@spvidz thanks so much!
Thanks for all of this. Can you share a link to the 1/4" to RCA cables on Amazon? I'm trying to find a pair, and can't find anything I like. These look great. I just found a pair of 1/4" to 1/4" TRS cables for audio out to my Tascam, just need something for input from a turntable.
There are quite a lot to choose from - not sure where you are in the world but this one on amazon.com looks fine - amzn.to/3RhCoZ7
5 min...no informations about TRS midi cables...
Feel free to make your own video
He specifically states in the first 30 seconds this is not a midi video!
Can you hook up some KRK RP8G4 Rokit 8 Generation 4 without an audio interface?
As far as I know yes, you can just plug each speaker into the L+R outputs
