Compact and portable performance sampler. The SP-404A is the latest addition to the Roland AIRA range. It is based on the renowned SP-404SX sampler, making it ideal for production and live performance applications. Designed to work with the Roland AIRA TR-8 Rhythm Performer, the SP-404A provides a combination of samples and percussive synthesis. It can also function as a standalone performance sampler. With built-in DSP effects and performance pads, the Linear Wave Sampler is the perfect companion for the Roland TR-8 Rhythm Composer.
The Roland SP-404A features 12 professional-grade performance pads that react with precision when struck. It can be triggered from the TR-8 Rhythm Performer or used as a standalone unit. It offers 16-bit linear sampling for optimal audio fidelity, allowing you to incorporate your own sounds alongside the premium-grade samples from Loopmasters. The sampler includes 29 onboard DSP effects, ranging from reverbs and delays to flangers and more. Its integrated pattern sequencer is perfect for creating complex rhythms and sequences for live performances and studio settings.
The SP-404A’s highly compact design makes it ideal for use on the road. It can easily fit in your backpack, allowing you to take the sampler wherever you go. In addition to its standalone functionality, it can be used as an audio sub-mixer and processing unit for the TR-8 Rhythm Performer. Once configured, the TR-8 can apply effects to all the samples playing on the SP-404A, adding reverse glitch gate and stutter effects. The samples can also be controlled by the TR-8’s Side Chain function for gating-type effects.
The SP-404A’s robust design and roadworthy construction make it perfect for any digital musician’s setup. It seamlessly blends into existing setups and complements the TR-8 with its stylish aesthetics. The sampler comes with a built-in microphone for sampling your voice and can be battery-powered for ultimate portability. Its premium-grade components ensure durability for even the most demanding performers. Additionally, the sampler includes an SD card pre-loaded with a library of premium-grade sounds created by Loopmasters, specifically designed to complement the TR-8 but also suitable for standalone use.
