How to SCRATCH on the SP404A [Finger Drumming Tutorial]

In this session I breakdown how I perform the Scratching Solo for my joint "Knuckle Duster" on the Roland SP-404A. Credit where due, I originally saw Jeremy Ellis do this on the Maschine (https://youtu.be/tL1zmHzk6MU) and was inspired to try to pull it off on the SP-404A. The samples I use in this tutorial are available for free download here: https://nonjuror.beatstars.com/sound-kits/sp-404-scratching-samples-20036 1:00 - Samples & Layout Pads 3,4,7,8: "Tear" Scratch Samples Pads 2,6,11,12: Vocal Samples from "5 Fingers Of Death...Battle Breaks..Vol II" 1:30 - Pre-Game Set all samples to GATE Mode. [REMAIN] select all samples [DJFX LOOPER] CTRL 1 & CTRL 2 full RIGHT. CTRL 3 full LEFT. 1:46 - Technique Turn SP404A on an angle. Right Hand: Fingers rest around Tear Samples (Pads 3,4,7,8) and stretch out to access Vocal Samples (Pads 2,6,11,12) and Sub Pad. Try to play samples as short as possible. Left Hand: Middle finger rests on CTRL 2 and controls the Pitch of the DJFX Looper. 3:03 - Jam through the Solo. Give it a go and let me know what you think in the comments below.
