Playing Back Samples (SAMPLE MODE)

There are many preset samples available on this unit by factory default.

When you turn on the SP-404MK2, the pads light up orange and the unit enters sample mode.

If the unit is not in sample mode, press the [EXIT] button a number of times.

When the pads are blinking blue, press the [EXIT] button a number of times and then press the [PATTERN SELECT] button.

Press the pads of the SP-404MK2.

The corresponding samples play back.

Refer to “Sampling (SAMPLING)” if you want to record a new sample.
