Roland Introduces SP-404SX Linear Wave Audio Sampler

Sept. 1, 2009 - PRLog -- Roland is pleased to announce the SP-404SX Portable Audio Sampler.  This update to the popular SP-404 audio sampler offers 44.1kHz/16-bit sound quality, improved DSP effects, a more versatile pattern sequencer, and easier data management.

The Roland SP-404SX audio sampler includes 29 DSP effects - including filter, delay, unique voice effects, subsonic, and looper - that switch seamlessly for a smooth performance. Twelve trigger pads, three control knobs, and a sub pad for rapid triggering allow DJs, musicians, and sound engineers to trigger samples and jingles and apply effects on the fly at the club, gig, or theatre.

The built-in microphone, simple user interface, and optional battery operation enable recording with the Roland SP-404SX anywhere inspiration strikes.  It is also easy to import audio samples and use the high quality effects onboard for sound design or unique live performance purposes.  The versatile pattern sequencer now includes an improved quantise mode with new shuffle feel for intuitive, non-stop loop recording.

“Roland’s SP-Series audio samplers are popular worldwide among DJs, musicians, and sound engineers alike,” Sean Montgomery, Senior Product Marketing Manager.  “To keep our number one market position and reach new customers, we are pleased to introduce this upgraded version of the SP-404 audio sampler.”
