The Roland SPD::ONE WAV PAD is a new type of digital percussion pad, one that allows any musician to perform with their own sounds and samples. Importing audio files is as simple as connecting the SPD::ONE WAV PAD to a PC or Mac and dragging your WAV files into the drive that appears. Whether you need full-length backing tracks or one-shot samples, your sounds can be loaded and played in seconds. Once you’re ready to go, the unit’s robust-yet-sensitive pad can be played with sticks, hands, or feet, and trigger threshold settings are easily adjusted with intuitive controls. Powered by batteries or AC, the portable SPD::ONE WAV PAD can be used on the floor or a tabletop, or mounted to any rig or drum setup with the included adapter. Operation is simple, even for those musicians who are not technical; just by using four knobs on the control panel, you can change the sound, volume, balance, and more. Whether you’re a drummer, percussion player, guitarist, DJ, or vocalist, the SPD::ONE WAV PAD is a simple and flexible way to expand your sound palette and invigorate your performances.

Great Sample Pad
This sample pad is perfect for what I do. I’m a drummer and I use this pad to playback droning synth sounds and small music samples when my band plays live. It stores up to 12 different samples and by using a very simple file naming system that the instructions explain clearly; you can set the samples to play back either indefinitely until you strike the pad again or just let them play back once.It’s pretty rugged as well, all metal chassis, similar in feel to Boss guitar pedals. I hit this thing with a drum stick pretty hard and I’m not afraid it will break.Something to be aware of is that the samples have to be 16 bit wav files. You cannot use mp3 or 24 bit samples. Not so much of an issue but I did have a couple samples that we got from the recording studio that I had to save out to 16 bit so they would play back.I would buy it again if it were lost or stolen, but it is a little pricey for what it is so I would have to wait a bit to $ave up.

La mejor Inversión
Justo lo que necesitaba para expandir mi sonido sin mucho espacio. Le metà los sonidos que querÃa. Ahora si no voy con el a todas partes me siento vacÃo.Ojo: Debido a la zona calurosa donde vivo, la almohadilla se empezó a despegar. Luego yo la pegue. Con R5000

Producto incompleto
Excelente producto pero me llegó sin cable USB que es necesario para usarlo. No se si sea un tema de fábrica que decidieron no incluirlo o el mÃo llegó incompleto.

Solid piece of kit! Would recommend!
I mainly use this as a simple midi controller for turning loops on and off in Digital Performer. It works great! Never misfires when hitting my acoustic drums, built like a tank! The only reservation I had is that the USB micro-b connection is on the left side of the pad, which seems stupid and prone to hitting with a stick (I am using this as a MIDI controller afterall) To combat this I’m using a right-angle micro-b cord, and it along with some properly placed velcro (strain relief), makes it nearly impossible to strike with a sick. The mount that comes with it works really nice. I have mine mounted off my high hat stand (see picture). Wish it came with the power cord, but all in all it’s a great little pad.
