What’s a sample?
Samples are pieces of sampled (recorded) sound together with their loop settings, etc. That are assigned to the twelve
pads. You can play a sample by pressing the corresponding pad [1]–[12].
When you press a pad, its sample will play. The pad
will light red while the sample is playing.
What’s a sample bank?
A sample bank is a set of twelve samples assigned to the pads. The SP-404A has ten sample banks, A–J.
Use the [A/F]–[E/J] buttons to switch the sample
bank. To select bank F, Press the [A/F] button twice
so it starts blinking.
How many samples can play simultaneously?
The SP-404A can play 12 monaural samples or 6 stereo samples simultaneously.
While resampling (

The SD card inserted when the SP-404A is shipped from the factory has samples assigned to pads of some sample banks. You’ll
