Exceptional Percussion Pad with Advanced Sampling
Roland’s SPD-SX sampling percussion pad is Roland’s most advanced sampling percussion pad to date. With tons of sounds, three multi-FX, and 4GB of internal memory for up to six hours of onboard sampling, the SPD-SX is perfect for both stage and studio. Featuring nine velocity-sensitive pads and two dual-trigger inputs for external triggering of onboard sounds, the SPD-SX is also a great way to expand an existing percussion setup. And no matter how you use it, you’ll love the easy visibility of the large backlit LCD screen and LED indicators for the pads.
The SPD-SX goes beyond other sampling percussion pads by making sampling external audio easier than ever. Just route a signal through the 1/4″ inputs or from your computer via USB — just touch a pad at the appropriate start and end points, and the SPD-SX creates a perfect loop. And thanks to the included SPD-SX Wave Manager software, it’s easy to organize your recorded samples and transfer them to and from your computer. With performance-focused features and an incredible sound set, you’ll love the Roland SPD-SX sampling percussion pad!
Expressive playability with an expansive soundset
Roland’s SPD-SX features an expansive array of dynamic sounds that respond amazingly to the nine velocity-sensitive pads. Snare rolls sound natural, cymbals respond to every nuance of your playing, and percussion sounds have a lifelike feel to them you won’t get anywhere else besides the SPD-SX.
Intuitive sampling
You can create your own samples and loops from playing on the Roland SPD-SX, or from an external audio source routed to the SPD-SX’s 1/4″ inputs. Just press a button to enter sampling mode, touch the pad you want to start recording, and touch it again to end recording and create a perfect loop.
For the stage or studio
You’ll love recording with the Roland SPD-SX, whether you’re using it to play in complete rhythm tracks, or for adding extra percussion effects to your full kit. Onstage the SPD-SX rules: the red LEDs make it easy to see what you’re triggering, and the smart design makes it easy to integrate into a standard drum kit.
