#SP404MK2 is loads of fun. I played around for 3hrs after unboxing and came out with 2 wonky loops of 4bars length. Also used my own samples. I don't really get the review opinions saying non-intuitive or complicated. It may require a bit of learning but doesn't have an impossibly steep learning curve.

@triumcirculorum I believe @attksthdrknss is an SP404MK2 user, and if I remember correctly, their excellent #BonkWave #NotBonkWave track "Has anyone seen the robotic invasion alert system?" is made with SP404MK2 alone...

@yoniden @triumcirculorum I can confirm. I love my SP404 MK2. It is a really fun device. The learning curve for me wasn’t too steep, but the manual is great and there are lots of videos on workflows to be found. I did make that track completely on my SP404 MK2. The samples were from a pack, but this record was 100% done on my SP404 MK2 where I recorded the samples too. https://music.attksthdrknss.com/life-universe-everything/

Wot, a Roland manual that is great? 🤯
How times have changed!

(I have heard very good things about the SP404 MK2, but I also have several pieces of old Roland gear with rather questionable manuals)

@axwax @yoniden @triumcirculorum Haha, I have seen some questionable manuals from Roland and other companies as well. In my opinion, the SP404 MK2 one is clear and gives good step by step instructions on how to perform a function. Like most manuals, the thing it doesn’t do is explain how to tie one feature into another to create a process or workflow out of the features. That is probably the thing a lot of people get hung up on when it comes to the device.
I should admit that I haven’t dove deeply into the manual and have mostly learned my device by discovery, so I could be missing stuff.
