"Unsupported File" on your SP-404 MkII? Drop a sample pack in, get clean 16-bit WAVs out. Batch, offline, folders kept.
Drop a sample pack. Get it back ready for your SP-404 MkII. No DAW, no Terminal, no cryptic "Unsupported File."
It's 404, yo! is a tiny, native macOS utility that batch-converts an entire sample pack into exactly the format the Roland SP-404 MkII accepts on SD-card import, and tells you in plain language what it changed.
WHY YOU NEED IT
Pro and Splice sample packs are usually 32-bit float WAVs (often 96 kHz, sometimes FLAC). The SP-404 MkII rejects them with "Unsupported File" and no explanation. Fixing them by hand in a DAW, one file at a time, is miserable across hundreds of samples.
WHAT IT DOES
• Drag in a folder (or files): your whole pack at once
• See every file analyzed, with a clear reason for each change ("32-bit float → 16-bit", "96 kHz resampled", "FLAC → WAV")
• Convert to the SP-404-safe target: 16-bit linear PCM WAV at 48 kHz (or 44.1 kHz)
• Already-compatible files are copied untouched: no needless re-encoding
• Your folder structure is preserved in the output
• Optional file-name cleanup for names the SP-404 struggles with (accents, odd characters)
• Warns about edge cases (over 16 min / ~185 MB, or under 100 ms)
SIMPLE BY DESIGN
One job, done well. No accounts, no subscriptions, no cloud. Everything runs offline on your Mac. Your samples never leave your computer.

Two small changes.
Send Feedback. Help › Send Feedback… opens an email to support with your app and macOS version already filled in. Nothing is sent until you send it, so if a pack won't convert or something looks off, that's the quickest way to tell me.
Clearer drop zone. The outline around the drop area is easier to see in light and dark mode.
