Description
When you press these pads, you'll hear the samples that are assigned to the pads.
If the [PATTERN SELECT] button is lit, the pads will select patterns.
Use this button when you want to change the playback start/end points of a sample or to
adjust its volume.
Use this button when you want to specify a sample's playback time or BPM (tempo).
You can change the tempo by pressing this button several times at the desired timing.
To temporarily stop the production of sound, hold down the [FUNC] button while you press
the [TAP TEMPO] (PAUSE) button.
Switches the sample's playback quality (standard/lo-fi).
Specifies whether you'll be sampling in monaural or in stereo.
Switches between Gate playback (the sample will play only while you hold down the pad)
and Trigger playback (the sample will alternate between play and stop each time you press
the pad).
Switches between Loop playback (the sample will play repeatedly) and One-Shot playback
(the sample will play only once).
Switches to Reverse playback, in which the sample will play backward.
Use these buttons to switch between sample or pattern banks.
Use this button to make various settings.
This pad allows you to have a sample keep playing even after you take your finger off the pad.
This pad plays the sound of the external (line or mic) input.
This pad plays the sample of the pad you struck most recently.
This button switches the mic input on/off.
This is the SP-404SX's built-in mic. If you connect your own mic (sold separately) to the MIC
jack of the top panel, this internal mic will not function.

This adjusts the volume of the SP-404SX's internal mic or a mic connected to the MIC jack.
You can connect a mic (separately sold) to this jack.
If necessary, connect this terminal to an external electrical ground.
