TR Sequencer Meets SP-Style Sampling

The SP-404A can be triggered from the TR-8 Rhythm Performer for powerful, integrated beat and sample production. Simply connecting a MIDI cable between the two gives you the ability to incorporate samples from the SP-404A and use them in conjunction with your drum patterns. Each of the TR-8’s 11 tracks can trigger a sample on the SP-404A, play a TR-8 sound, or both, enabling you to create interesting layers and accents. The TR-8 can trigger any sample from any of the multiple banks in the SP-404A, making it easy to access new sounds with a turn of the dial.

SP-404A 可通过 TR-8 鼓机触发，用于制作强劲的集成节拍和采样。只需接通两者之间的 MIDI 线缆，即可整合 SP-404A 中的采样并将它们与鼓模式结合使用。TR-8 共有 11 个音轨，每个都能在 SP-404A 上触发一个采样和/或播放一种 TR-8 音色，使您能够创作美妙的分层音色和重音。TR-8 可以触发 SP-404A 多个音色组中的任何一个采样，通过转动转盘便可轻松使用新音色。

Sample Scatter and Side Chain

By connecting the stereo output of the SP-404A to the TR-8’s external audio input, you can use the TR-8 as a sub-mixer and processor for the sampler. In this configuration, all samples played on the SP-404A can be effected using the powerful TR-8 Scatter feature to reverse, glitch, gate, truncate, stutter, and perform all manner of rhythmic variations from subtle to extreme, and all in perfect sync. The use of the external input also allows samples to be effected by the TR-8’s per-step Side Chain function—simply program a pattern with Side Chain in TR-REC Mode and access eight rhythmic ducking and gating effects.

通过将 SP-404A 的立体声输出与 TR-8 的外部音频输入连接起来，您可以使用 TR-8 作为采样器的子调音台和处理器。采用这项配置，SP-404A 上播放的所有采样都可使用强大的 TR-8 分散功能来产生，以反转、干扰、门限、截断、断续和执行各种形式的节奏变化，从细微到更全面，所有的一切都同步。使用外部输入也允许通过 TR-8 的按步侧链功能产生采样，只需使用 TR-REC 模式下的侧链即可编排模式，并使用八种有节奏的闪避和门限效果。

Sounds by Loopmasters

The SP-404A comes with nine banks of premium samples to get you started with sample looping. The sound library on the included SD card was created by Loopmasters, one of the world’s leading sample developers. The samples in the library have been designed specifically to complement the TR-8, but will work great in standalone applications.

SP-404A 自带九个音色组的高品质采样，可从采样循环开始。随附的 SD 卡上的音色库是由世界先进的采样开发商之一 Loopmasters 所制。库中的采样专为完善 TR-8 而设计，但也非常适合独立的应用。

Additional samples can be loaded via the SD Card slot, which supports SDHC card sizes up to 32 GB. Import WAV or AIFF audio files from your Mac or Windows computer using the dedicated software (available in the Downloads section), and then assign them to the SP-404A’s pads. The software is fast and easy to use, as it displays the SP-404A’s pads on screen, and it’s also possible to convert SP-404 format files for use in the SP-404A.

其他采样可通过 SD 卡槽（支持大小高达 32GB 的 SDHC 卡）进行加载。使用专用软件（可在“下载内容”部分找到）从您的 Mac 或 Windows 计算机导入 WAV 或 AIFF 音频文件，然后将它们分配给 SP-404A 的打击板。该软件运行快速且易于使用，因为它会在屏幕上显示 SP-404A 的打击板，还可将文件转换为可在 SP-404A 中使用的 SP-404 格式。

Instant Sampling

Sampling is not limited to the studio with the SP-404A. The built-in microphone allows for simple recording anytime and anywhere inspiration may strike, powered by AC or six AA batteries. Line inputs enable direct sampling from a mixer or external device, and a mic input is also available for sampling with an external microphone. And your sampled material always sounds great, thanks to the SP-404A’s high-quality, uncompressed WAV audio-capture format.

采样不限于使用 SP-404A 的录音室。内置的麦克风可供在产生灵感时随时随地轻松录制，由电源适配器或 6 节 AA 电池供电。Line 输入允许直接从调音台或外部设备进行采样，并且麦克风输入也可用于通过外部麦克风进行采样。由于 SP-404A 采用未压缩的高质量 WAV 音频采集格式，您的采样材料始终具有理想的音质。

Combined with a DJ mixer, the SP-404A can be used as a standalone effects processor. A unique “limiter” mode is used in 17 effects types to prevent overloading, ensuring stable sound with no unwanted sonic artifacts. This mode is especially effective for live DJ performances, safeguarding your sounds at critical moments.

SP-404A 与 DJ 调音台相结合，可用作独立的效果处理器。17 种效果使用独特的“限幅器”模式来防止过载，确保音色稳定并避免产生多余的杂音。这种模式对现场 DJ 演奏特别有效，在关键时刻可保护音色不失真。

Track Builder

The number of loops that the SP-404A can handle is practically endless, but this feature is only part of its immense power. Songs, jams, and tracks can be built in seconds thanks to the onboard Pattern Sequencer, which is specifically designed for real-time track creation. Optimized for live engagement, it features a powerful Quantize mode which includes shuffle feels for groove, swing, and movement. You can create patterns on the fly via the 99 available measures, and with continuous looping, the ability to layer, structure, and shape a track is available at your fingertips.

SP-404A 可以处理的回路数量几乎是无穷无尽的，但这只是其强大功能之一。乐曲、即兴演奏和音轨均可在几秒内制作完成，这得益于专为实时制作音轨而设计的板载样本音序器。它针对现场演奏进行了优化，带有强大的量子化模式，可提供律动、摇摆和移动的混搭感觉。您可以通过 99 种可用的小节快速创建样本，并且借助连续循环，您只需动动手指即可分层、组织和调节音轨。

You’re able to store 120 patterns (12 patterns x 10 banks) and recall them instantly. This lets you perform live sets exactly as you envision them, with the comfort of knowing that you always have the freedom to improvise. When you play back patterns, the LEDs surrounding the display flash with the pattern tempo, providing handy visual feedback during your live performances.

您能够存储并即时调用 120 种样本（12 种样本 x 10 个音色组）。因此，您可以按照自己预想的方式进行现场演奏，您知道自己随时能够即兴发挥。当您播放样本时，显示屏周围的 LED 灯会以该样本的速度闪烁，为您的现场演奏提供有用的视觉回授。
