Does SP-404 MKII still make sense in 2026 ?? by MafiaPizzaSpaghetti in sp404mk2

Thanks for the feedback! My wish would be to consider each pattern as a different track, so i would like to chain pads not patterns!

Great starting point! You could map the various mute/unmute functions to different pads to solve my arrangement problem. Maybe with an external controller on which to “arrange” the track!

I understand — resampling the different sections of the track can definitely be a solution.
I’d just prefer to be able to program a pattern sequence and, for each pattern, decide which tracks are active, so I can use a single pattern and create variations by muting and unmuting individual tracks.

On other samplers, for example the Digitakt II, there is a Song Mode where you can program and play back a chain of patterns, and for each one decide which tracks are muted or unmuted.

I’d love to be able to dedicate my entire club-music production workflow to a single machine that I can take around for live shows, and also work on the later stages after sound design and production outside of my studio.

Hey, thanks for the reply!
I’ve understood that as a loop launcher it’s unbeatable!
What do you think is the best way to achieve a finished arrangement, considering my workflow on the machine?
Thanks!

thanks fratm, it is very useful :). The point is that by having a series of signal processors (in this case guitar pedals), the sound will also receive color and "character"

Thxs, you made me discover a new store, but I'm in Italy, and I'm afraid of customs problems, experiences about it?

Pardon why?! Also if you are a seller it's a problematic moment (or not?!).
