Roland SP-404 Mk2 (Part 1)

I’ve decided not to keep any of my sample collection on my new SP. I’m going to sample in every sound and try to sample as much as possible from music/films/TV/whatever. I want to start with a clean empty program with every new track.

If I really need something from my sample collection (drums/synths etc.), I’ll keep the whole collection on my iPad and use the new Sample Crate app to manage and play them and sample them in over USB-C, rather than importing. I can also sample all the amazing iPad synths too, if I need to.

Hopefully this will stop me relying on existing chord/stab/bass/drum samples I already have etc. and focus on the art of sampling first and foremost… and hopefully make something a bit more interesting.

How are you guys using your existing sample collections with your new SPs?
