Roland SPD-SX Sampling Percussion Pad

[SaltFish]

The great enabler for songwriters / performers / producers. I can midi my Roland v-drums, gat, bass and sequenced stuff from computer, like backing tracks, vocals, percussion.
Amazing with or without my loop pedal.
I use it to facilitate music tuition.
I teach drumkit, percussion, vocals, guitar and music theory. A fun tool.
Thanks Roland ..

Hello, to anyone who might read this comment:

Firstly this device seems pretty cool! I'm not really planning on buying it anytime soon because I don't need it, but I've heard the name "Roland SPD-SX" mentioned when reading about samplers/sample pads/whatever you want to call them. So I wanted to see this device in action, more out of curiosity than anything else.

Now, for the reason I'm writing this comment:


I have a question about this device, and I ask this primarily because I'm visually impaired (to the point of being completely blind). First let me provide some context for my question:


I have an electronic drum kit (also made by Roland, but I'm not exactly sure which model it is). The kit works in such a way that the drum pads and the main control module are separate, so you have to connect them together with cables in order to use them (you know, like a typical electronic drum kit). But I've also heard of electronic drum kits where the drum pads and the control module are combined together, into a singular unit. In fact I actually have a (rather toy-like) electronic "drum kit" that I got when I was like 11 years old or something, and it works in this sort of way; the advantage with this is that it's very portable, because you only have one thing to pick up and move around with as apposed to having a separate control module and the drum pads, which is a bit of a nuisance to travel with.

So I guess my question is, which of these 2 formats is the Roland SPD-SX in? Is it like a typical electronic drum kit where the control module and the pads are separate things to carry and move around, or is it more like my "toy" electronic drum kit with the pads and the module combined together?

I would appreciate any replies I get, thanks y'all :)

This is very helpful. I have been asking around about the sampling capabilities and no answers. So this is very helpful - Great video and I have subscribed and will follow you now.

Thanks for making an informative and succinct tutorial on this! I just got the new red one and am going to be delving into the sampling stuff soon. You seriously saved me a lot of time. You rock!

Could you record a guitar or bass to live loop with this function? Can you record multiple things over the same patch?

[dudecrush]

ok this is trippy. I know her. how? because one day, when walking into guitar center (I work there) I find her back in drums tinkering on our displays. she was making sure our demo Roland equipment was functioning correctly. then she quizzed me on the things you can do with the octopad

Checkout sammy hagar on stern, jason bonham had one of these.

Trying to figure out how to do this on the new pro model 🤔

How are you connecting into the phone? It looks like a 1/4" cable, but is that dropped down to a 1/8" connection?

Hi Jordan, how are you? i am using the SPD SX for some time and it is a great tool on stage and in studio. i usually used the built-in click track up to now, but now i want to import my own click track and sync it with the internal click of the Roland SPD-SX. but: it is out of sync, it is slowlier and you can also hear it through the deeper tone of the tamborine... Turning off tempo sync via pad settings did not succeed. any ideas? appreciate your help greetings from Germany, Björn

[kikko]
