Roland SP-404 MK2: I sampled the world's largest pipe organ

Wow on so many levels! Every time I look at the 404 mkii I am wowed, but also sooooo very intimidated by all the functions and possible learning curve.

everybody gangsta till the boardwalk organ is fully restored and then you have to sample it instead

I read the thumbnail and thought you sampled skin

That organ is one of the most epic sounds I have ever heard. It reverberates through your entire body...

Is there any chance you are selling those organ samples?

How much more value do you consider the newest 404 has over the Boss 303? I have a 303, and I love the grimy old school sound, but adding effects gets tiresome. It looks like that's still just as tricky on the 404. I also hate that the effects can only be added to one sample pad at a time, so you have to preplan and record every layer, and it leaves little room for improvisation in that regard. Thoughts?

just bought it. Amazing machine is my first impression. The pads are not that great compared to an mpc but overall the sp 404 mk2 is an loveworthy , impressive little device

wow amazing

That Lion King tune sounds insane in the pipe organ super cool video!

My girlfriend thinks she's sampled the biggest pipe organ in the world well tbh it's an average sized organ

Wow this was an amazing presentation of knowledge and history

Amazing video!! How Hard would it be to actually source a pipe organ with all the notes from every keyboard and pedals? I guess it would be an insanely time-consuming work but the results would be magnificient, plus, i've seen your video regarding the creation of sourcing in your musical softwet programa, i must congratulate such a gargantuan love and dedication put in every of your projects!

The first sample reminded me of Daft Punk's One More Time

Seems like a really convoluted method of just using a DAW😅 what's the advantage?

I was lucky to live in Philadelphia in the late ‘80s until ‘96 — Wanamaker’s was the best! I went to the tea room at the top — one of the prettiest dining rooms in the country and not expensive — I only got to hear the organ a few times — and they had one of the best post offices also in that store since John Wanamaker was US Post Master during the Taft administration. Alas, his descendants did not know how to keep their stores thriving.

Im a piano player and I would love to sample the organ and play it on my keyboard keys via MIDI.Would this device be able to do that?

I will not make the same mistake of thinking if I buy this I'm gonna be able to be as good with it. Did this with the Maschine Mk3.

Nice! What did you use to sample with, zoom I suspect?

Charlemagne Palestine needs to play this organ! Peace.

I adore "behold your New Church — Wanamaker's department store!" so much

writing about you and your plugin as part of my passion project, love decent sampler keep making banks and working hard ❤️

Dude, when I saw the big eagle, I said "That's Wannamakers". I had no idea that was bought out by Macys nor that it still existed.

That title. 😅

were you playing the lion king sad song?

Your hands are aesthetic looking Dave. Incredibly aesthetic.

For a second, I Thought you were going to make a Hauptwerk preset

Uh huh huh. You said "sampled a large organ." Uh huh huh. Uh huh huh huh.

So glad to see this covered on your channel. I work in the Wanamaker office building and try as much as possible to catch the daily performances from the balcony. Never gets old.

me before reading the title: "the skin?"

Great video. How do you like living in Philly? We are considering a move to PGH. I’d love Philly but the crime rate seems to have gotten worse over the last few years?

That was incredible!

With what gear are your doing the actual sampling?

Having grown up with analog recording and long before cds even, stuff like this just makes me crap my pants. Its all I can do to make band lab sound decent. 😂

Love this video!!!❤ Do some more videos on the sp please bro🔥💯💯

Nice

A ha.the grandfather of the Roland canvas 😅

Got heavy tribe called quest's 'can i kick it vibe' from organ notes

There don't allow it, but you should come to Southern California, and sneak samples from the Nethercutt Collection

Can we have a full version of the song? So nostalgic and reminiscent of a time I wasn't even born in...

WRONG. I actually have the world's largest pipe organ

Not me just crying casually to the background organ music of the Lion King.

(I do wish I could hear that performance in full.)

Amazing! and wow that organist played some Hans Zimmer Lion King

That reminds me of the old tracker programs on the Amiga.

your way of using the sp 404 is so cool, im glad to see other people showing me new ways to use a device i thought i had already mastered
