What a beast of a 404. They really went above and beyond. Great job, Roland!

[ilovewhatidoforyou]

Man, this update is awesome.

Thank you Roland.

The Pocket operator workflow is my most comfortable and now my sp is a giant OP PO!! (overpowered pocket operator)

[brentladue]

this is legit everything I wanted. So pumped to try the firmware. Great vid!

[monquixote]

Wow, this update makes me really want to buy one.
If only anyone had them in stock ;)

I literally got this thing last week and now it’s been updated! Amazing!

[digital_crickets]

So, they changed the game on a game changing device? Fantastic news!
Thanks for the update about the update, Mister Beats!

Good to see they have made recording chromatic / poly now def a huge step forward. If you have a way of contacting roland please include the feature of reversing from playhead rather than from the end of a sample. It makes the reverse button a creative tool and means you can make your own ping pong effect at will to extend sections of a sample. The earliest Sp devices all have this ability and the reverse works the same as normal if you press it when not already triggering a sample. Seems like a no brainer and surely not hard to implement

I waited long for the Firmware 2.0 for the SP404mkii and finally it is out now! thank you Roland. the SP404mkii is now an really usefully gear for me. Thank you BoBeats for the Tutorial/-Video.

Just enough for it to be a game changer. I will be enjoying this machine much more.

[TheButtaSpot]

Man you’re early with it. I literally can’t find nothing else on this update at the moment. Good stuff 🙌🏿

Just got my 404 this week; thanks for the video. I like the polyphonic midi keyboard feature. Being able to sample my mono analog synth and turning it into poly is pretty cool and looks really easy.

[audreyazwell]

They've done it...the absolute madlads have done it...polyphonic sample playing....finally my Emulator 2 fantasies have come true (you know I've been asking about that for YEARS lmao) 🙌
Edit: 11:19 dude probably and THANK YOU 😂

[mattkaz]

I wasn't totally sure about this unit previously, but it seems pretty cool now. Good video.

[marcelofp]

This is a game changer. More features on this device makes it suitable musicians like me. Like the step sequencer and poly sample playback.

[JustinUrban]

I spoke with a Rep at Movement Electron Fest in Detroit in regards to the 404 having a TR-Rec mode, and now here it is. This changes my mind on this device. Now it might be something to add to the arsenal.

I have been having trouble integrating the SP MK2 into my setup. (Digitakt/MC707/RC505) But with the step sequencer and new polyphonics I can use it as a portable sketchpad and sampler on the go, and extra effects unit when it's with it's big brothers! This update is a game changer for me! I might even be able to use the SP for stripped down gigs if I could figure out how to make the sampler work with a midi pedal trigger! Really great job Roland!

[PiriakaTrackwrecker]

Massive update, it makes it waaay more versatile. I can see it playing really nicely with my Electribe, and both have different strengths and weaknesses ie electribe sample time vs 404 not running external instruments, so I can see them playing really well together. Definitely makes me want one. Thanks Bo, this video had more nuances than all the other ones I've watched.

[DavidDeLuge]

Great video. These new features are fantastic and I will be updating mine over thee weekend. Thank you for sharing.
