Full Description

Roland SP-404A Linear Wave Sampler

Compact and portable performance sampler

The latest addition to the AIRA range from Roland, the SP-404A provides added functionality and a range of new ways to play with your sounds. The SP-404A bases its design on the renowned SP-404SX sampler, ideal for a range of production and live performance applications. The SP-404A is designed to work in conjunction with the Roland AIRA TR-8 Rhythm Performer, providing the perfect combination of samples and percussive synthesis.

As well as being the ideal companion for the AIRA TR-8, it can also function as a standalone performance sampler. With its range of built in DSP effects and performance pads, the Linear Wave Sampler is the perfect companion sampler for the Roland TR-8 Rhythm Composer.

Innovative sequencing capabilities

The Roland SP-404A provides you with 12 professional-grade performance pads, that react with precision when struck. As well as being able to trigger from the TR-8 Rhythm Performer, the SP-404A can also be used as a standalone unit. It includes 16-bit linear sampling for optimal audio fidelity and performance, allowing you to incorporate your own sounds as well as the included premium-grade samples from Loopmasters.

It also includes 29 onboard DSP effects for adding flare and character to your samples and live performance. The DSP effects range from reverbs and delays to flangers and more. The integrated pattern sequencer is ideal for creating complex rhythms and sequences that can be used in live performances, as well as studio settings.

Perfect for live performances and in the studio

The highly compact design of the SP-404A Linear Wave Sampler makes it ideal for use on the road. The portable design will easily fit within your backpack, allowing you to take your sampler wherever you go. As well as being ideal as a standalone sampler and an expansive sampler for the Roland TR-8, the Rhythm Performer can be used as an audio sub-mixer and processing unit for the Linear Wave Sampler.

Once configured, the TR-8 can apply effects to all the samples playing on the SP-404A for added functionality such as reverse, glitch, gate stutter and more. The samples can also be controlled by the TR-8's Side Chain function for gating-type effects.

Robust design, complete with Loopmasters samples

The robust and roadworthy design of the SP404A is ideal for any digital musician’s setup. It will blend seamlessly into the existing setup, as well as complement the TR-8 with its stylish aesthetics. The sampler features a built-in microphone for sampling your voice, and it can also be battery-powered for ultimate portability. The premium-grade components ensure the unit is built-to-last, ideal for the even the most demanding of performers. Additionally, the sampler comes complete with an SD card pre-loaded with a library of premium-grade sounds created by Loopmasters. These high-end samples have been designed specifically to complement the TR-8, but will also sounds great in standalone mode

V-Moda M-100 Crossfade Headphones

Premium-grade sound - perfect for DJs, producers and more

V-Moda M-100 Crossfade are a pair of studio-quality headphones with an extended frequency response ideal for a range of musical applications from professional monitoring to live DJ sets and more.

You can also customise the look of your headphones by 3D printing or laser engraving your logo, changing your shield material or the colour scheme. The comfortable yet virtually indestructible SteelFlex headband ensures the headphones will last for a long time, providing the ultimate durability.

The SteelFlex headband is ultra-flexible, making it ideal for DJ use and travelling. The headphones were also tested beyond military-level quality MIL-STD810G, being one of the most robust and durable headphones available on the market.
