ROLAND 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 SP-series performance samplers is a perfect fit for the impressive rhythmic effects and iconic step-sequencer of the Roland AIRA TR-8.

Plus, a new library of sounds curated by sample-industry leader Loopmasters are provided via the included SD card.
