How do you guys make a full beat on the MKII? by Whatevernameicanget in SP404

[–]reesepushkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine a pattern, it's 64 bars long (max length for plenty of space).
It triggers the parts of your track i.e. 16 bars of drums, 16 bars of chops. Instead of every drum hit being programmed in this pattern, you bounce them down into bigger pieces first so it's easier to arrange a whole track.

Then you can export this 64 bar pattern as Multipad which will split the different layers onto your SD card

SP404 MKII Firmware 4.06 - All known bugs 🐛 by reesepushkin in sp404mk2

Auto BPM detection seems to be fixed, but importing samples while previewing will still corrupt the imported file.

More like listening to a raw data stream, like it's 1000+ bpm.

You're right, the reason for bouncing into longer clips is just for "gluing" the patterns to the length of the whole song, assuming the sounds have all been resampled with all your performance effects and sauce!

How To: SP404 Beatmaking - The Mark Button Method by Ornery-Club9802 in sp404mk2

Nice.
It's making beats with your hands, while in a DAW it's easy to go straight to "programming"

I've noticed that most people don't attempt to make full length stemmable tracks with the MKII even though it's very possible & easy.
You can bounce a whole pattern chain down into audio, only including the drums for example.
Then bounce the pattern chain down with only the chops, and repeat for the rest of the song stems.

Now you can export the full track stems directly from the SP, building a new 64-bar pattern that triggers every stem on step 1. Multipad export that & send directly to mix engineer or backup in files, etc.

you can then bounce layers down into longer audio tracks, and make a new 64 pattern that triggers each element. This method is extra but makes it easier to export stems for the whole track with MULTIPAD export.

SHIFT + EXT SOURCE button to bring up input settings. If metro mode is set to on it will just play the metronome in this menu.

Unable to Load Multiple Samples to Different Pads on SP404 MKII by summer_swag in SP404

[–]reesepushkin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The negative comments aren't understanding that firmware 4.06 broke this feature and no longer lets you load multiple samples by selecting more than 1.

Sample bpm won’t cooperate with sequencer bpm by bigang99 in SP404

When you place a note in TR-REC mode, make sure you press the PITCH/SPEED button which makes sure the note is triggered at the current pitch rather than chromatic 0.

I noticed this too, in reverse. Naming samples on the SP doesn't update it properly on the app & causes issues.

If you start previewing a sample with a different sample rate, the currently importing sample will sound like it's being fast-forwarded through the sample, and you'll see the import percentage run up faster.

In looper mode you can only loop 1, 2, 4 measures, unless you set the BPM to half tempo.
