Add Sampling to Any Percussion Setup!

The SPD-S Sampling Pad is a simple and affordable way to tap into the power of

PRE-LOADED SOUNDS

Convenient CompactFlash storage

The SPD-S works with readily available CompactFlash media???making it easy to expand the onboard sampling time, store

custom sounds, and even import or export .WAV/AIFF files using your Mac or PC.

sampling. Six pads and three edge triggers allow drummers to trigger CD-quality samples and create phrase loops complete with pro-quality effects.

Sampling is easy! Follow these simple steps to record and play a sound.

Integrates easily with your kit

A great alternative to acoustic triggers and a rack sampler, the SPD-S lets you play up to eight sounds using six durable rubber pads and three superb-feeling edge triggers. There are no complicated settings to make. Just record a sound, assign it to a pad and go. Up to 12 minutes of sampling is provided in Long mode, along with CD-quality sampling and easy editing including Truncate and Trigger Mode functions.

Powerful sound creation tools

With 30 multi-effects algorithms and a unique ambience effect, the SPD-S offers endless sound-sculpting tools. Just add an effect and resample the output for quick and easy triggering! Using the Phrase Maker function, you can create custom phrase loops by resampling a pattern being triggered from the pads. And tweaking a sound or effect during performance is easy???just twist the front-panel knobs or use an optional expression pedal.

Choose from pre-loaded or sampled sounds

With room for 399 User waveforms, the SPD-S can store plenty of samples. Better still, there are also 181 ready-to- play waveforms pre-loaded into User memory. These sounds are unique to the SPD-S and include a variety of acoustic and electronic drums, percussion, sound effects and phrase loops that can be combined with user samples to create the ultimate drum kit. A sampling CD is also included, making it easy to expand the onboard sounds.

Expandable and customizable

The SPD-S has a stereo input and can accommodate up to two trigger units for playing a drum pad in either a head or head/rim configuration. And with MIDI In and Out, it makes a great controller and module as well. Drummers will also appreciate being able to assign two waveforms per pad and switch them via velocity or footswitch. The pads and the optional footswitch also make for an easy way to stop sounds, switch Patches and turn effects On or Off.

SPD-20

Flagship sounds and features

The SPD-20???s sound set includes everything from ethnic and world percussion instruments to classic and modern acoustic and electronic drum sounds???700 sounds total! Out of the box, you get 99 Preset Patches and six rhythm loops that can be played via eight high-quality pads with natural response???even when playing with common drumming techniques like rolls and flams.

Infinitely expressive

Four external dual-trigger inputs make the SPD-20 compatible with a dedicated hi-hat or kick drum controller and any of Roland???s drum pads (including V-Pads???). The trigger inputs can also be used with acoustic drum triggers for triggering acoustic drums. Other noteworthy features include a velocity- sensitive Layer function, onboard effects and MIDI connections for using the SPD-20 as a controller or sound module.

HANDSONIC

A ???Hands On??? Approach to

Electronic Percussion.

A dynamic pad with

V-Drums technology

Divided into 15 parts, the HPD-15???s ultra-sensitive 10- inch rubber pad can be used to trigger up to 15 different sounds using techniques from hard conga slaps to the light finger touch needed for tabla performances. And because the main pad supports positional sensing, you can create timbre changes just by striking different areas of the pad.

Expressive realtime control

The HPD-15???s knobs can be used for controlling pitch, timbre and multi-effects, while dual ribbon controllers create realistic conga slides and make triggering guiro sounds more natural. You can even create rolls by pushing harder on the pads. The D Beam, on the other hand, uses an infrared light beam for adjusting pitch, filter cutoff and triggering sounds like a gong or a bell tone. An optional expression pedal may also be used.

The HPD-15 HandSonic?? is an electronic percussion multi-pad designed to be played by hand or finger. Using V-Drums?? triggering technology, this futuristic instrument allows hand percussionists to play up to 15 sounds naturally without using sticks.

Loaded with high-quality sounds

Divided into 15 parts, the HPD-15???s ultra-sensitive 10- inch rubber pad can be used to trigger up to 15 different sounds using techniques from hard conga slaps to the light finger touch needed for tabla performances. And because the main pad supports positional sensing, you can create timbre changes just by striking different areas of the pad.

Handy performance features

Perfect for practice or composition, the HPD-15???s 4-part pattern sequencer provides 99 Preset and User patterns. And with MIDI In and Out, you can use the HandSonic as a sound module or as the ultimate controller for playing into your sequencer. Live performers will appreciate the ability to add an optional hi-hat controller and kick trigger, as well as the HPD-15???s

1/4-inch Line input for blending in external sounds.
