Hectic Beats V.1 | SP-404 MK2

HECTIC BEATS V.1
SP-404 MK2 Project

This project features a combination of drum kits, one shot sounds and loops recorded by @hectictracks in his hardware packed studio. The equipment used included the Roland SH-01A, Elektron Syntakt, Arturia MicroFreak and the Arp 2600. The result is a set of highly charged electronic sounds packed full of distortion and character.

Instant fun - Load the project straight into your SP-404 MK2 and you'll be ready to play 10 different sound banks/kits (a total of 160 sounds), no further programming needed. Each sample has been trimmed, panned, normalized and tweaked on the SP, in order to get the best sound possible, and the smoothest groove out of each kit. You will also find an original pattern/sequence per bank, which was directly programmed on the machine.

How-To
Importing a native project into your SP-404 MK2 is the easiest thing; you can either use the Roland SP-404 MKII App (recommended), or else import directly from an SD-Card (page 103, Reference Manual).

TIP: An empty project (1-16) on the machine is needed in order to import a new one; overwriting a project of choice is also possible. In any case the SP will prompt you on how to proceed. Regular backups of your projects are a good practice.
