Great sampler

The effects , the sound quality is excellent . My only issue is that advanced functions require some button combos and if I don't use it often I have to check the manual . But it can used as a simple and fun to play sampler , with plenty resampling/chopping :)

Surprisingly deep

I'd been looking for an all in one - one shot sampler for quite a while. This fulfills that functions and many others besides. Very surprised by the wealth of applications this can be useful for. I'm thinking I might get another

Best sampler

I have been using it for the past 2 years. made some Dawless released songs. the resample workflow is so much fun. it is a very nice standalone product and can be an important FX part of your hardware set.

A Unique way to Sample

A super Roland Product. You will need to invest some time to it as it has a more advanced learning curve, with some button combination macros to master. But Roland have 2 fantastic Video manuals on YouTube to help with this process.

It has had a major firmware update in 2023 which adds more features that are explained in the update video on YouTube.

Amazing effects, Clearly Laid out Functions and sub-functions, Just the right size mini screen and there is also a companion Computer Application to easily transport files and projects in either direction.

A very creative sampler that can be combined with any electronic musical instrument or vocal.

Constantly inspiring and innovative , gives light to so many cool ideas and even the learning slope is very exciting. 5 / 5

Roland SP-404MKII is the best thing that happend to me

I wanted to write a huge review how i liked it and all. But, it's just so good i have no words.

Best thing i can say, that go and watch on youtube the workflow. Ad if it suits you, you will be amazed how much better it is in life than on video.

The learning curve is worth the climb

I am new to sequencing samples beat-making but was intrigued by the process and results. After much internet searching, I decided on the 404 mk2.

With the hardware update (V2), I think that it is a great little machine and a lot of fun once you have spent some time with it learning its features and the logic of how sounds are recorded and subsequently sequenced.

After 4 hours on my own, I figured it out, but I am sure younger buyers will find it a breeze. The sounds it reproduces and very good and the effects are amazing. I recommend it at the price.
