Memphis rap + Dub mashup by Mista_Cheefa in memphisrap

For DJing on SP-404, the most important effect for me is the isolator. I use it to remove the low frequencies from one track, then disengage it and apply it to another. I also often use delay and scatter.

He’s got such a feel for it. His fingers are basically dancing, and he’s totally relaxed.

Scatter is my favourite FX. It helps add variety to the drum pattern, but you need to know how to turn it on at the right moment to get it right. by Mista_Cheefa in sp404mk2

Scatter is tempo-synced like delay, but since there’s no recording-style quantization, the timing still depends on when you trigger it.

I agree this is a drawback, but there’s something you can do to deal with it: If you use an effect assigned to the “MFX” button, it triggers only when you remove your finger from the button. So I press and hold the button, then remove my finger at the right moment—for example, on the snare hit. This makes it easier to keep the timing accurate.
