Overview

The Roland SP-404MK2 Creative Sampler and Effector represents the latest evolution of Roland's iconic SP sampler line, refined through extensive community feedback and R&D. At its core, it's a standalone beatmaking instrument — you can sample, chop, sequence, and perform entirely on the hardware without ever touching a computer. The 17 velocity-sensitive RGB pads use a no-click design for smooth, expressive performance, while the OLED display gives you visual waveform editing, project navigation, and real-time parameter feedback. With 32-voice polyphony, 160 samples per project, and 16 internal projects, there's plenty of room for complex arrangements and live sets.

What sets the SP-404MK2 apart is its portability and workflow speed. Weighing just 1.2 kg, it runs on USB-C power, a mobile battery pack, six AA batteries, or an AC adapter — making it genuinely usable on a park bench, airplane seat, or backstage. Onboard editing tools include real-time and auto-chop modes, auto BPM detection, pitch shifting, envelope shaping, and resampling, so you can build layered compositions without external gear. The unit ships with 144 high-quality samples and patterns preloaded, and Roland includes the SP-404MK2 companion app plus a six-month Roland Cloud Pro membership to expand your sound palette further.
