Roland SPD-SX Special Edition Overview

The red Roland SPD-SX Special Edition Sampling Pad allows you to easily sample, capture, assign and play drum sounds and audio phrases on nine velocity sensitive drum pads. Each pad has a dedicated LED indicator that shows pad status and audio-level activity during performance. Ideal for home, studio, or stage the SPD-SX has high-contrast red divider lines, which help you see each pad zone clearly both onstage and in dimly lit environments.

Built-In Memory

Equipped with  16GB of internal memory and a selection of preloaded sounds, the SPD-SX SE holds approximately 50 hours of samples, plenty of space to carry most sample libraries. However, if you’ve managed to compile a library the size of Timbaland’s, no need to worry; the SPD-SX-SE was made with expansion in mind. Load and play samples directly from its built-in USB ports, which support flash memory and mass storage drives along with USB MIDI/Audio transfer.

External Sound Inputs

the included SPD-SX SE Wave Manager software allows you to connect a computer to import audio files, assign samples to any pad, and organize them for easy access. To capture an audio sample from an external audio source, simply connect it to the SPD-SX hit once to start the sample, and hit again where you want it to end. It’s just that simple.
