Roland is proud to announce the SP-404 is now shipping. Picking up where Rolands popular SP-303 sampler left off, the new SP-404 is built on a foundation of more: more features, more voices, more pads, and more memory. The SP-404 sleek, silver look is new to the SP family, and it surpasses its predecessor by offering battery power compatibility, a CompactFlash slot, and a built in microphone for quick, stress free sampling sessions. Just turn it on, aim, and record no cables and mics to connect. Then get down to the business of making beats and patterns with the pattern sequencer, and add extra color with the great effects built into this little powerhouse.
