Probably a super stupid question but would the voice memo app work?
I just replicated this like you said. Import, hit resample, wait appeared. Instantly crashed and restarted once I hit a pad.
Why the hell is not possible to INCREASE USB audio gain?

thanks for checking out!
letās forget about new features for a moment but this should not happen while sampling/resampling what is literally core of the sp, so annoying
edit: even perfomed factory reset because iāve seen some users claiming it fixed the crashes, not for me though

USB Hub has solved the issue - usb out from the SP had to go into the hub before iPad it seems. Iām fairly new (or newly returned) to iPad land

Can you try a different cable? USB C cables have been known to cause various issues.

If it only happens after loading a sample from SD card, a temporary workaround might be to load the samples you need, do a reboot and work on. Until a bugfix comes along.
Talking about Bugs Fix (well, almost):

About 25% of the way through updating the Quick Referenceā¦ itād go faster, but Iām adding some additional touches to make it flow nicer and hopefully easier to read while adding in the new 4.04 updatesā¦ definitely looks like Iāll have room for everything that makes sense to add.

Noā¦ I was wrong. I saw the meter go up and assumed it was working, but in actual fact it hadnāt actually connected to ākoala modeā and was just picking it up through the mic.
Thanks for all suggestions. Iāve tried 3 different USB cables so it isnāt the cable either.
I found this - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254784621 which suggests it might just be an iPad problem

Itās actually kinda insane how many new features were added that Roland put the new MFX in the āsecondary additionsā section of their update video and it isnāt even the first on Rolandās secondary list lol.

If I use DT as the soundcard on the iPad, there is no issue with incoming audio over USBā¦ Itās either a bug with the new Koala Mode, or the SP is just terrible at sending audio out over USB.
Itās a combination of DJFX Looper and the Delay on the front panel. Basically kinda allows you to do the stuttery DJFx stuff but it fades out like a delay. Itās pretty tight.

Youāre expressing my thoughts on the mk II exactly.
The more I reflect on it, the more certain I am that thereās a fundamental design issue with the mk II: the software and hardware have simply drifted too far apart from each other. I think that was true on day one and itās especially true now.
The software has managed to honor the 404 legacy while growing, maturing, and adapting to the present.
The hardware also honors its past but is very much bogged down by that past. And when I say hardware, Iām really only talking about the physical interface and button layout. It just canāt support the ever-growing set of features that are being developed on the software while continuing to look and feel like a 404. At least, it canāt be done without massive compromises that affect usability.
Since the physical layout canāt be changed as easily as the software, and an updated faceplate doesnāt truly solve the issue, thereās really only one way out. I think Roland should design a new device that has a brand new physical layout that supports everything the 404 software is capable of. The software could truly live up to its potential, but it would be so far removed physically from its 404 origins that you maybe wouldnāt be able to call it a 404 at that point. Idk, maybe it could be called the 404 pro or something.
Anyways, I donāt want to be too much of a curmudgeon or rain on anyoneās parade. Iām very much rooting for the team at Roland because theyāve done absolutely incredible things with this platform and theyāve created a box that people have found a lot of joy in.
