The SP-404 is a machine that has a loyal following, for many it was an alternative to MPC. Its small form factor, sample playback, triggering and FX made it a go to for performance.
Roland just released the SP-404 MKII which is good news, but also they have just released a major update V2.0 OS which really opens up the machine for more sequencing duties.
Highlights include:
TR style step recording, chromatic note programming per step, chromatic mode now has legato and poly too.
