Roland SPD-SX Sampling Pad Overview
Since its release in 2011, the SPD-SX can be found in setups ranging from mini kits in the homes of social media streamers to the stages of sold-out stadiums. And the pad fits seamlessly into hybrid and electronic kits alike.
The SPD-SX has nine velocity-sensitive rubber pads with red LED indicators, and any sampled sound can be assigned to any pad. It sparked the sampling pad revolution with a wide range of tracks, clicks, loops, and one-shot sounds stored inside.
The pad also comes loaded with 16 preset kits and 210 samples, including an array of loops, one-shot sounds, and melodic phrases—with 16GB of memory to load your own sounds. The SPD-SX supports WAV audio files in 44.1kHz, 16-bit format for crystal-clear sound.
With a range of output options, you can seamlessly send your sound to different locations for mixing and monitoring. Plus, load, organize, and record sounds with a USB connection and SPD-SX Wave Manager software.
In this video, Roland artist and experienced sample pad professional Adam Marcello explores the SPD-SX features that elevate live performances.
