A friend of mine recently acquired a VS880EX, with a dead Harddrive 40gb PATA. He had been doing research and found the EBAY SDCARD kit. Sadly the kit was too much for him. In his research he found SD SDHC SDXC MMC Memory Card to IDE 2.5" 44 Pin Male Adapter Converter

But this was not enough. first he wanted to be able to switch SDCARDS, this configuration would not work as the adaptor would be inside the unit and not angled correctly to be accessible, not to mention it would be wobbly. Just an FYI he has the original HD caddy and HD cover

he did not want to cut the original parts, and we still had the problem of access.........

So i went to work and found this: 2Pcs SD to SD Card Extender Cable Adapter Memory Card 4 8 16 32 64 GB SDHC

with this extension we could put the port in the front..... Now to design the caddy and cover. I used tinkercad, took about a 2 weeks of on and off work....

after plenty of versions I made this version:

in the latest version I have addressed the loose ribbon cable with a lid so the ribbon cable now is tucked inside the new caddy. I also secured the SDholder with screws.

its a good fit, slides along the rails and snaps right into the port inside. we have verified and the system sees the sdcard. He has for now a 2gb card so he has 500 some minutes. He has ordered the 32GB card to maximize the storage. Thank you for joining me on my journey. I have a youtube channel RESOURCEFUL3D ive not updated since my main video editing pc broke, but I will be updating.

Did you ever think the SP-404 MK2 could become a full MIDI controller? 🎛️

With MIDI Conductor (developed By LoopCartographer) the addon for DOOM OS, the SP-404 MK2 turns into a control center for your entire hardware setup: synths, drum machines, sequencers and much more.

In this video I give a complete overview and break down every feature, step by step!

This mod DEFINITELY changes the capabilities of our beloved SP-404MKII!

HAVE FUN!

Enjoy!

Ive been struggling with using my audio interface (focusrite) with my tr8s and still get the options for individual channels from the tr8s while sending audio out of my interface. I know what an aggregate interface is but I havent been able to figure out how to use the most popular one, Coconut and achieve the individual channels of each instrument on the trs8 while sending audio out through the focusrite. Can anyone help?

Here is my synthpop cover of glam classic "Rock and Roll", created entirely with Roland AIRA Compacts (T8, S1, J6, P6). No external software synths, VSTs, or DAW tracks were used (just an iPad app I wrote to trigger pattern changes on the Airas).
