Craig, amazing stuff a great presentation

[gregory_free]

Can you add entire kits in the (.NBKT) format from KOMPLETE BATTERY library, via the flash drive input method? Or only individual wavs from the kits bank.

@4:29 .. i have VST plug called buffer overdrive what makes similar effects ..nice

[AussieGunn]

I really need a hand with knowing i'm getting what I want, I want to get one of these to program single note sounds such as bass drops etc. Can this do that?

[davemccarter]

Hi Craig,
You do really remind me of me when I was very young, the enthusiasm you have for your passioin is really enjoyable to watch when you play. The fact that you are able to play with such confidance and at a time when this technology is readily available annoys the shit outa me, I'm so jelouse I so wanted to find a sound that was my own but most if not all were taken in the 70's and now we have a dummer now called a mucision it all inspiring. Well done to ROLAND and your good self.
Can I ask, would you describe your kit that you use in your demo; a greatfully balding geezer.
Thx Dave

I've been looking for answer on how to record and connect this so I can record on Pro Tools. I have a Midi chord (roland Um-one to be specific). I have yet to find an answer

[greatbighouse]

Could the trigger inputs be expanded by connecting a Roland TMC-6 trigger to midi converter? Thus solving the limited expansion and no hi hat control issue?

[TheBreakMonster]

this can trigger that sound, yes. you would need your own samples of the bass drops to put into the sampler, and then your gold.

[AndrewDavisMusicly]

Cool demo, can you get the song on iTunes? I found the Brian Wayy - Fire version, but your version is way better.

[AlfaShedar]

i wil lbe able to paly on this extreamly fast tremolos with drum sticks ? and for example some effects on all pads with out loosing polyphony ?

[bhabaniprasadchowdhury]

Is it possible to change the pitch (scale / tuning) if any instrument in SPD SX ?
For example if i copy L12 (Conga Low Open) from SPD 20 to SPD SX, can i change the pitch of that instrument ??

[clintcpx]

does SPD SX have in built samples ?? or tones like in SPD 30 ? :)

[FirstSergeant]

Anyone know the name of that 1st (song) sample or who sings it?

[TheHellpoy]

I don't want to play dj with this pad. I want to create some tight electric sounds like a nice snare and a bass to get some new stuff in our songs. :D

[thesophisticatedjellyfish]

beginning sounds like Nuclear - Zomboy

[deadfrik]

@satansskidmarks Hehe, I could literally hear your voice go down in the second part :-).

[isaac]

[jaydvbaby]

as soon as I heard the music I knew the man had to be British and not American. Im not American nor British.
