About

SP-Slidekick: MFX Controller for SP-404MK2. Take real-time control of your effects like never before. SP-Slidekick is a dedicated MIDI controller that puts every effect bus parameter at your fingertips, designed for live performance, studio sessions, and everything in between. Built exclusively for the SP-404MK2: Every effect, every parameter, every bus, mapped exactly as Roland intended. SP-Slidekick speaks the SP-404MK2's native MIDI language, giving you precise control over all four effect buses and the Input FX channel with zero configuration required. Connect via USB and start performing. Your Layout, Your Way: Build a custom control surface on a free-form canvas grid. Add as many controllers as you need across four pages and arrange them exactly how you want. Your layout saves automatically and is ready the moment you connect. Three Control Types: Faders - Vertical sliders designed for sweeping effect parameters in real time. Assign any effect parameter to the Y axis, add an optional X axis for two-parameter control in a single gesture, and set Hold mode to lock an effect on between touches. Glide Pads - XY touch pads that let you morph between two parameters simultaneously. Tap to glide smoothly to a position, or drag for direct control. Adjustable sensitivity gives you everything from instant snaps to slow cinematic sweeps. Punch-In - Momentary trigger pads that fire a full set of pre-configured parameters on touch and release cleanly when you lift. Swipe down to latch. Perfect for drops, builds, and performance moments that need to hit exactly on time. Master Bus Console - Pull up the full console to dial in all four buses at once — effect type, all six parameters per bus, save and recall snapshots. Your complete SP-404MK2 effects rig in one screen. - Interact with effect parameters in ways you can't on the hardware. - Hold mode keeps effects engaged between gestures - Bus engagement state mirrors hardware in real time - Easily see what effects and Buses are active at a glance - Landscape and portrait layouts supported Make It Yours: Set a custom background image and arrange it exactly how you want it. Assign unique accent colours to each bus so your layout is instantly readable on stage. Rename any control to match your workflow.
