‌Bigger, Better, Faster, Stronger.

The SP-404MKII has everything people love about its predecessor - with some serious improvements such as 17 ultra-expressive pads and updated knobs for smooth, comfortable control. Creating beats is even faster with fast startup times, quick project loading and sample import, and easy access to projects via 16 GB internal memory. Seasoned users and new beatmakers alike will feel right at home thanks to the intuitive layout and classic SP effects, plus a rebuilt sampling and sequencing process, Skip Back Sampling for quick performances, DJ mode for live beat mixing and more.

Create beats by surprise.

People who create music with SP samplers love the fast-paced, mobility, and tactile approach that the devices offer. The SP-404MKII takes that experience even further while maintaining a lightweight yet durable design while adding features that make it even easier to create in any scenario. Create beats anywhere with power from AA batteries or a mobile power supply, record audio from your mobile device or stream it directly to your mobile device via USB, or collaborate with a partner using two headphone outputs and a mic / guitar input.

A sampler with a soul.

Thanks to the SP404MKII OLED screen with waveform zoom view, editing samples is easy and convenient. Split samples by touching the edit points in real time or use auto-cutting to automatically split samples. Then refine them by changing the envelope and pitch, then use the new resampling process to re-record patterns and effect layers for detailed sound design. With Skip Back Sampling, you can capture the best moments immediately by capturing up to 25 seconds of audio from your last performance.

All about effects.

Process, invert and change your sounds with legendary SP effects and new classics. Standard SP effects like Vinyl Simulator and DJFX Looper are now paired with powerful add-ons like Lo-fi, Cassette Simulator, and Resonator. Superimpose and route multiple simultaneous group effects for complex sonic textures, or plug into the mic / guitar input and play with preset Vocoder, Auto Pitch, and Guitar Amp Simulator effects.

Performance-tuned sequencing.

The SP-404MKII gives you the flexibility to create patterns with exceptional feel and energy. There is adjustable input quantization and shuffle for unique swing, Pad Link for triggering multiple samples with one touch, Roll button for variable note repetition, and BPM-per-bank for instant tempo changes. It's also possible to organize patterns for different kits and string them together to automate playback. With your hands free, you can play the SP effects controls or let your favorite synthesizer rip.

Stock of sounds.

Immerse yourself in creating beats preloaded with sounds in the SP-404MKII's blazingly fast 16GB internal memory. There is a huge collection of hand-picked samples to choose from and plenty of room to enrich them with your own private sound collections. Now you can load even more sounds at once, 160 samples in each project for extended combinations for performance and beat making.

Customize.

You're working hard to be a unique artist, so why play on a device that looks like any other? Personalize your SP-404MKII with your own style or brand for a look as distinctive as your sound.
