Roland Drum Machine (SP-404A)

A legendary sampler meets an iconic sequencer designed for live use, the SP-404A linear wave sampler expands the sounds of the Roland Aira tr-8 rhythm performer for a powerful combination of sample and percussive synthesis. The fast, hands-on approach of the acclaimed spl-series performance samplers is a perfect fit for the impressive rhythmic effects and iconic step-sequencer of the Roland Aira tr-8. All of the functions and features of the popular spl-404sx are contained in the SP-404A, including its distinctive 16-bit linear sampling, 29 onboard DSP effects, smooth FX switching, and 12 professional performance pads. Plus, a new library of sounds curated by sample-industry Leader loop Masters are provided via the included SD card. Whether used standalone or controlled by the tr-8, the SP-404A makes for an intuitive and inspiring addition to the Aira range of performance instruments for DJs, musicians, and producers.
