Roland SP samplers are the bona fide kings of performance-based beatmaking, celebrated for their distinctive sound and ability to create rapid-fire beats anywhere, anytime. Carefully refined through community feedback and extensive research and development, Roland SP-404MKII is the ultimate SP sampler. It’s faster and better than ever, with a vivid OLED display, expressive new pads, expanded effects, fluid sequencing and sampling and a massive library of authentic sounds to inspire your music.
*A supported iOS mobile device with a Lightning connector can be connected to SP-404MKII via USB-C using the appropriate Apple adaptor cable. SP-404MKII must be powered with the included Roland PSD AC adaptor or six AA batteries (sold separately) in this circumstance. See the SP-404MKII Reference Manual for more USB-C connection info.
SP-404MKII has everything people love about its predecessor with some serious upgrades, like 17 ultra-expressive pads and updated knobs for smooth, hands-on control. Beatmaking is even quicker with a speedy boot time, swift project loading and sample import and easy project access via 16GB of internal storage. Longtime users and new beatmakers alike will feel right at home with the intuitive layout and classic SP effects, plus a revamped sampling and sequencing workflow, Skip Back Sampling for quick performance capture, DJ mode to mix beats live and more.
People who make music with SP samplers love the rapid workflow, portability and tactile approach they offer. SP-404MKII takes this experience even further, retaining a lightweight-yet-rugged design while adding features that make it even easier to create in any scenario. Bang out beats anywhere with AA or mobile battery power, capture audio from or stream direct to your mobile device via USB or collaborate with a partner using the dual headphone outputs and mic/guitar input.
With SP-404MKII's vivid OLED screen and zoomable waveform view, sample editing is smooth like butter. Chop up samples by tapping out edit points in real time or use auto chop to slice samples automatically, and then finesse them with envelope and pitch shift. Convert any pattern to a sample with the press of a button, transforming complex programming into manageable loops for quick song building. And with Skip Back Sampling, you can instantly grab those golden moments by capturing up to 40 seconds of audio from your last performance.
Process, flip, and twist your sounds with legendary SP effects and a selection of new classics. SP staples like Vinyl Simulator and DJFX Looper are now joined with powerful additions that include Lo-fi, Cassette Simulator and Resonator. Layer and route multiple bus effects and motion record effect parameters for intricate sound textures and dynamic playback, or plug into the mic/guitar input and jam with ready-to-go Vocoder, Auto Pitch, Harmony and Guitar Amp Simulator effects.
SP-404MKII is filled with tools to create unique patterns and infuse performances with fresh energy. There's adjustable quantize and shuffle, a Roll button for variable note repeat and BPM-per-bank for instant tempo changes. Use Pad Link to fire off multiple samples at once and Pad Mute Automation to drop them in and out during tracks. Organize patterns for different sets and chain them together for playback. With ultra-tight synchronization, you can expand your setup with external MIDI gear and perform with multitrack files exported from your DAW – no laptop required.
Dive into beatmaking with the pre-loaded sounds in SP-404MKII's blazing-fast 16GB of internal memory. There's a huge collection of curated samples to choose from and plenty of room to augment them with your private sound stash. You can now load even more sounds at once, with 160 samples across each project for expanded performance and beatmaking combinations.
You shouldn't need to take out a bank loan to make beats or produce tracks. SP-404MKII is more powerful and more affordable than ever, making it easy to add its rapid workflow and characteristic sound to your existing setup. And with all it can do, SP-404MKII may be the only piece you need for production and performance.
You work hard to be a unique artist, so why play on cookie-cutter gear that looks like everyone else's? Personalize your SP-404MKII with your own style or branding for a look that's as distinctive as your sound. Grab the faceplate template to create custom overlays, style your startup screen with personalized logos or select a screensaver that matches your vibe. (Colored control knobs pictured are sold separately and not available from Roland.)
Download the SP-404MKII app from Roland Cloud Manager to go even deeper with your Mac or Windows computer. Access more detailed waveform editing, assign samples to pads and import MIDI files and legacy SP-404SX and SP-404A projects for remixing and updating. You can also use the editor within your DAW workflow thanks to AU and VST3 plug-in support. Don't forget to check out the exclusive Beat Maker Sample Pack series, which offers new sonic material from legendary sound designers and musicians to inspire your next production.
