Thx man!

Thank you! That was very insightful and inspiring to read your workflow with both. Indeed you’re getting great results from the combo.

Sorry. Another question. Can you manually set how long a note plays?

I use a lot of loops. Can I put the loop on Gate and manually dial in whether it plays for a quarter, half or full bar?

Thank you!

Yes in step sequencer mode.
Devil’s advocate here, have you tried Koala?

djadonis206 · April 23, 2024, 2:23pm

Can’t say I have but I’m checking it out now. Thanks for the reply as well

Roland SP-404 MKII Controlling/Blending Ambient Layers, Dark Drones & Noises

Gear used to create generative ambient layers, loops and drones:
Roland JD-08, Elektron Analog Four MK I. Everything sampled, resampled and performed live to create one blend with a help of Roland SP-404 MKII

I don’t think that’s true, though I wish it were.

In Microscope editing mode in the TR-REC (“pattern sequencer”) mode, you can edit the microtiming of the note, the speed/pitch, whether it’s Chroma or Pad, and the dynamics, but I don’t see any way to change the actual note length.

How long do you reckon Roland will release the bugfix for import samples and resample issue?. Not sure how they take from memory to address issues?,

Automageddon · April 23, 2024, 5:45pm

I swear it is!

KingDuppy · April 23, 2024, 5:58pm

Oh, sweet! Thanks, I’ve been looking for that all week.

Nice! EP1 is very nice too.

Recorded an improvised ambient jam with my partner last night. SP is running end of chain for effects (ko-da-ma and ha-dou for delay and reverb, and 303 sim for compression), as well as for launching some unsynchronized/phasing loops (I really enjoy creating phase loops on the SP)

Amy · April 24, 2024, 10:42am

Thanks, all is recorded through the wonderful SP404. A bunch of samples and Dreadbox Typhon, it’s a monster monosynth, epic.

Rank31 · April 24, 2024, 12:43pm

Very good

KingMidas · April 24, 2024, 12:51pm

I like the things you do with noise

nvadraudio · April 24, 2024, 2:10pm

I’d love to see a granular mode for samples. This way you can either play chromatically, or play the grains as chops

feedback · April 24, 2024, 3:08pm

You can play the samples chromatically. It’s just the grains are very, very large.
