Here's some beats I've cooked up in this last week of 2021 on the Roland SP-404MKII...

0:00 Beat One
1:52 Beat Two
3:37 Beat Three

The "Pong" & "Pac-Man" start up images are from my latest pack "SP-404MKII STARTUP ART STASH" - A collection of ready-to-use Startup Graphics to customize your MK2's Opening Screen: [ Ссылка ]

The red skin I'm using is the "NES" (I think!) from Cremacaffè Design: [ Ссылка ]

For this jam I wanted to try something I hadn't done before. All beats were made in the SP-404 MK2's Pattern Sequencer, then put together using Pattern Chain. I usually have my Drums assigned to Bus 2 (green pads) and all other samples to Bus 1 (orange pads) - this way, with Buses 1 & 2 set to "parallel" instead of "serial", I can perform the beat using effects (Isolator, DJFX Looper, Super Filter, Tape Echo, Stopper & Flanger in this video) on just the Bus 1 stuff and the drums on Bus 2 stay solid and unaffected.

I wanted to be able to do this in a beat set situation so I Resampled the whole beat (full pattern chain) to a pad but did the drums and samples separately (say, mute Bus 1 using Isolator w/ everything turned down to Resample just the drum Track to a pad).

With the beat now on two pads, I Pad Link them together so they play in sync. Now I assign the Samples pad to Bus 1 and Drum pad to Bus 2...etc...

As for my master bus settings:

Bus 3 - Cassette Sim
Tone: 0 | Hiss: 0 | Age: 9
Drive: 0 | Wow Flut: 77 | Catch: 0

Bus 4 - Compressor
Sustain: 0 | Attack: 0 | Ratio: 0
Level: 90

This recording was then thrown onto a Type IV cassette.

Thank heaps to everyone who's fkd with my videos this year, I appreciate that a lot which is why I try to share the science when I can. As always, feel free to get at me in the comments if you have any q's about what I do. Happy New Year fam!
