Old thread has died, here's another. Post yr soundclouds, sketches, WIP etc. Talk gear, software, tips and the like.
I've got an SP-404 which I used to trigger loops in my old band and now going sadly unused so I'm going to try and get my head around the cumbersome workflow and make some beats. Wish me luck guys.

404's are so much fun, you can just resample for days. The real madness comes about when you start hand triggering everything, like Dilla did. Granted it's hard as hell to keep a steady drumbeat going while you switch banks and trigger the arrangements, but it IS conducive to some weird and amusing output that pulls on sources from loads of media.

Damn yeah that would be a dream. Would take a lot of practice to be that dextrous, although I have no problem tapping out a good rhythm in real time. Will probably stick with the pattern record mode to start with (no quanitize!)
When I make patterns on my old SP-404 certain samples drop out like it's running out of polyphony but it happens when there's only 4-5 simultaneous samples
any idea for how to repair
Also one pad doesnt trigger
I'm guessing it's from spilling coffee on it about 20 times
Nah just as you said its got a poly limit. If you resample or pattern with stero mode off ypu get the most you can out of it. Sykll omly like 4 sounds at once can happen.. Id suggest using the sp for its effects, processing the samples and drums in beats. Also suggest just recording like a whole 4 bar measure of drums live intp the comp. Than looping those drums. Than record the sample chops over that. Then ypu have two or more tracks you can process and eq after ward. Aswell as live feel drums that arent a 3 sec loop. Gives you music a freedom and open the room up for space in the music. Istead of trying to bang out a beats all at once
!2 sample polyphony, IIRC.
There are several DIY fixes to your broken pad on the web.
I wanna buy a sampler to just do live jams with, any recommendations? Is the SP-404 *the* piece to get or are there other options?
Also here's my favorite track I've done if we're sharing:

So does a stereo track count as 2 'voices'? If I record samples through the mic in like a synth bass drum and its set to record stereo is that a waste of polyphony
