The Roland SP-404MKII Creative Sampler is the long-awaited sequel to one of the most iconic samplers ever created - the SP-404. Revered for its unique sampling capabilities and the now legendary Lo-Fi effect; the original set a benchmark in the world of samplers. The MKII was developed through community feedback to create the ultimate sampler. Back and better than ever. The SP-404MKII features a crisp new OLED display with upgraded pads for added expression and a fully expanded effects section. Chop and stretch samples with ease thanks to the visual waveform editor and an intuitive menu system that will keep you focused on your creativity. From the studio to the stage the MKII provides a rapid workflow with quick startup and load times. The original design has been revamped for the modern era with 17 velocity-sensitive RGB pads with no-click playability for a smooth and natural touch. All the classic SP effects are back including Vinyl Simulator and DJFX looper as well as new additions such as Lo-Fi Cassette Simulator Resonator effects Auto Pitch and even a Guitar Amp Simulator (when used with the guitar/mic input). We all know SP users love to customise their samplers so Roland has made this easier than ever. Owners of the new SP-404MKII can download a faceplate template to create their own custom overlays as well as customise your startup screen with a personalised logo. It is also highly portable thanks to its lightweight design and ability to be powered via AA or mobile batteries.
