Roland SP-404SX Sampler

ローランドの中でもすごく使いやすい、サンプラーだと思います

操作方法も簡単だし、それでいていろんなこともできる

best sampler you can get

Lodi hiphopの楽曲作成の入門機として使用しています。初心者でも直感的に操作しやすいです。

ローランドのロングセラー商品だけあって、扱いやすいです。 三木楽器さんから購入すると「ケース」は付いていません。 他店ではオマケでつけてくれることもあるようですね。

SDカードへのサンプル移行も楽 移行したらそのままバンクA～Eまでのサンプル60個が鍵盤に並べられてmidi 1chで扱えるから 自分はプレイバックサンプラーとして外部シーケンサー で鳴らしてます 同じようにF～Jのサンプル60個は2chで使えます SDなので長いサンプリングOKだからマルチサンプリングして楽器にもなる ただ、midi情報がベロシティしか対応してないのが残念 ベンドとリリース情報にも対応出来るようになったら楽器として も使える良い商品だと思います

使い勝手の良い一品です。 機能的なものはもちろん、コンパクトなサイズが利用場所を選ばないのが良いです。 パソコンでも本体でも編集が出来るのが良いです。 基本的には芝居のPA用にしていて、3桁の数の音を用意出来るのが魅力です。 置き場所に困らないので、お祭りで開催したお化け屋敷の効果音にも活躍しました。 オーバーラップ時の音量調整が出来ないのだけが残念ですが、ミキサーや他の機器との併用で充分解決出来ます。

カセット、MD,CD,USB と音源の記録媒体を使ってきましたが、知人のすすめで使用したところ目からうろこでした。まず、音の頭出しに遅れがないこと。CDのように番号の選択が必要ないこと。使いこなすにはまだまだ修行が必要ですが、周りに薦めてやりたくなりました。

Literally had a HUGE shipping mishap with this with a whole lot of drama. I called my courier and they figured it out. The 404sx is literally the best either you are using it for the sampler, fx or for live shows this is the thing to buy a little cheaper than the 404a so why not. Got mine new from japan!

Excelente Sampler para hacer LoFi, HipHop, Trap, House. Herramienta indispensable para los Beatmakers DJs. Muy intuitiva y fácil de usar.

Alright I feel like I'm not good at reviews but I really love this machine (for hip-hop production). The workflow on this thing is amazing - it's so easy to get my sample chopped up, trimmed correctly, in a couple of minutes, and without having to click it all out on a screen. There are plenty of good tutorials on youtube to learn how to work this thing (the manual comes in Japanese) and you should be making progress after a couple videos. I'm giving this sampler 5 stars because it does everything that it says it will do and it does it well. The pads and knobs both have a really good feel and the sampler seems solid overall. RCA jacks make it really easy to run audio into the SP from my turntable or my phone with an RCA to AUX cable. I didn't get the SP to perform live but I can see why so many people use it just for that purpose, I always end up getting lost playing with effects while making beats. There are a few downsides I've run into just because there are some things I'm used to having while making music. I don't think the SP should get knocked for that because I'd easily pay more to add these functions- which are probably on the MPC and I'm sure add to the price point -No sound envelope settings for samples (a/d/s/r) -No manual step entry (everything has to be played live, no 'programming' a kick into step 1 for example) -Step Sequencer is pretty much useless (to me) because a sequence cannot be "Resampled" into a pad. I strictly put together loops/beats on the SP using the "Resample" function

j utilise ce sampler depuis deja plus d' 1 ans et j en suis vraiment très content , versatile , facile a utilise , puissant jusqu'à 30 giga's c est vraiment une machine tout terrain ... bon rapport qualité prix ...

I've been through a few samplers in my time including and MPC 2500 and a Maschine but this has proven to be the best value for money and the most fun to use for beat making. I've managed to successfully build straight up hip-hop bangers and mellow lo-fi beats with this box, all of which have a very characteristic sound. I've also done live DJ sets thanks to the stupidly long sample time allowed on each pad. If you like loops with a heavy humanised feel or want to venture into the lo-fi world this box is the one. Sometimes you'll be amazed at what comes out of it. The resampling method means you can 'bounce' and easily build loops/beats. (Youtube it if you're not sure how it works, its really simple). Alternatively you can finger drum and trigger your samples live whist recording to an external unit like a laptop...or another sp :) The SP does have a pattern maker but it leaves a little to be desired and I've struggled to use it due to its bad quantising and general poor quality. I haven't mastered it but I know artists like Samiyam have produced entire albums using it so there is definitely scope to have it in your workflow if you wanted to. Its fine if you don't though - you can just build beats with resample or by bouncing to an external recording device! The built in effects are really amazing - everything from simulated vinyl to chorus and distortion effects. Resample means you can also combine effects (you can't use more than one at a time by default) to generate some really interesting vibes. Sampling is so quick and intuitive but appreciate that trimming etc is done entirely by ear. There is no way of looking at wave forms with the SP its all about listening and using 'trim' points for the start and end of samples. Like other reviews have mentioned you will be getting audio into this box in minutes of opening it and building your first beat almost straight away. In terms of sampling external sound you have the standard phono input on the back so you can use any sound source you like as long as you can eventually make it go through a phono lead or some kind of adapter. There is also a standard jack input on the front so the only limitation is your imagination really. One amazing feature of this sampler is also the built in mic for recording sounds wherever you are. Don't forget this thing can run on batteries as well so its really portable which is great for soundscapes and getting noises around the house to put in your beats. The pads feel good, they've got a nice grippy texture and dont mind a bit of abuse. the numbers have started to wear off slowly but they aren't even really needed. They are backlit and all the indication you need is done through this. Be warned though if you are coming over from an MPC you might find the transition a bit challenging at first. There is a bit of a learning curve with SP when you come from a traditional sampler that rely so much on the sequencer, but once you realise you can build beats with 'resample' you start to realise the possibilities of this unassuming box. It doesn't come without limitation but they almost shape the way you make beats and there are ways around everything. I've not wanted to move back to my MPC since getting this beast. It takes time to master but the journey is fully worth it.
