Roland SPD-SX Sampling Pad w/ Michael Schack | Better Music

The Roland SPD-SX Sampling Pad has been around for a while, but very few people know how much this little black box can do. Today Michael Schack sits down with Jimmy to show you one of the many options ways the SPD-SX can expand your percussive performance!

This is one of the better and more useful demonstrations I've seen of the Roland SPD-SX. This demonstrates exactly why I want one.

My god! Just bought one a few days ago, i was thinking about returning it until i saw this video. Great demo!!

[TeachBuild]

Great video, gentlemen. Best demonstration of live use potential I've seen yet! My old spd-s spits white noise out along with the actual sound playing so I've resorted to using it as a midi controller to trigger loops on a laptop. I use an outboard audio interface to send signal to the house. Works great while I save for a new SPD-SX!

Nice got one today. From Los Angeles living in Amsterdam. Netherlands. After watching all your videos and lots of reading. I think it's great and easy to use. Ive uploaded some sounds I download from a few sites today using the Roland software provided. I started with 8 wave files single zone 8 pads one open. A few files I had to change delete shorten it, remove caps. Then it uploaded fine onto the kit I7 . Renamed kit then saved remove USB cable and done. I went in and change the setting on kit 17 to single shot take poly off loop etc. So it would do what I wanted. I have my Roland TD module plugged into my SPD-SX with single Roland 1/4 male to male mono cable. I now use my headphones on the SPD as it has a headphone volume. Next I will be taking samples from audio from my turntable. Ive orders the proper cables. I don't know if anyone has tried this yet. Moby and Frankie goes to Hollywood are on the list.

This guy is a master on drums, AND on the electronics that go with it. I feel like I should be paying him for the lesson.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for this video, it is amazing. I bought an spd sx kind of because of this one.
I'am also trying abelton live right now.
After getting rid of the usb version issue I followed the instructions of the video, but i struggle with a latency when i hit the pad and when the sample is read.
Is there any configuration to use to have a fluid read and re read like in the video (timming 5:43)?

thanks in advance.
