Roland SPD-30 Octapad digital percussion pad white
Product no: ROL-SPD-30 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

Since 1985, Roland's legendary Octapad has been a useful addition to the drum kits of both amateur and professional drummers. It all started with the popular Pad-8, and the more advanced Pad-80 that was released after that. Neither of these percussion pads were capable of controlling external MIDI sources, however. The new Roland Octapad SPD-30 is equipped with a large collection of high-quality samples. Each of its 600 percussion instruments can be individually edited.

The sounds of the SPD-30

The SPD-30 offers fifty diverse kits. Not only classic acoustic rock and jazz kits are included, but a wide selection of percussion instruments from all over the world is at your disposal as well. Characteristics such as tuning, attack, timbre and volume can be adjusted, enabling you to create a fully personalised percussion pad. A number of ambience effects, an equalizer, a limiter and a wide range of multi effects can also be used to add flavour to your sound.

Pads, triggers and connectors

Each of the eight pads of the SPD30 Octapad has an excellent response and is capable of rejecting crosstalk. It is possible to connect up to 4 additional pads with double triggering and a hi-hat controller. The acoustic drum triggers from Roland's RT series are also compatible. The Octapad is fitted with a headphone connector, a mix input and line outputs. The MIDI IN and OUT and the USB MIDI port allow you to control external sources.

Additional features

The compact and exceptionally rugged SPD 30 is equipped with a number of interesting additional features. Thanks to the backlit LCD display, you can operate it even on the darkest stages. The Octapad features a phrase loop function, which enables you to record and loop rhythm patterns, while adding up to three additional layers. You can even store these patterns, by connecting an optional USB memory device.

Tips or comments about this product
  • Full compatibility with the SPD-30 can only be guaranteed for Roland USB data devices.
  • The SPD-30 is supplied without accessories, apart from an adapter, a manual and screws, which are included upon delivery.

Zoals je van Roland mag verwachten is dit een kwaliteitsproduct.

Je kunt je creativiteit de vrije loop laten met dit indrukwekkende apparaat. De geluiden zijn van ontzettend hoge kwaliteit en de pads zijn heerlijk bespeelbaar.

Door de handige draaiknoppen blader je zo door het menu en andere functies.

Daarnaast krijg je via Roland nog eens extra garantie.

Wrote the following about Roland SPD-30 Octapad digital percussion pad white
Wat een heerlijk ding! De youtube filmpjes met Michael Schack en Johnny Rabb zeggen eigenlijk al genoeg. Met de Octapad kun je gemakkelijk allerlei percussie instrumenten en elektronische effecten aan je akoestische- of elektrische drumstel toevoegen. Het scala aan nieuwe creatieve mogelijkheden die het mij bied zijn een grote bron van plezier. Echt een aanrader!

Het verder uitbreiden van de module met externe triggers is ontzettend makkelijk. Gewoon plug and play, al is het handig om in het menu even aan te geven welke externe trigger je hebt ingeplugd. Op deze manier kun je ook een klein oefensetje samenstellen, die je gemakkelijk overal mee naar toe neemt. De SPD-30 is echter ontworpen als percussiepad. Iets wat duidelijk te horen is wanneer je op de pads gaat roffelen. Zeker buzz rolls klinken verre van natuurlijk.

Je haalt er dus geen volwaardig electronisch drumstel mee in huis, maar wel een percussiepad met geweldig veel mogelijkheden en een uitstekende geluidsmodule. De bediening is erg gebruiksvriendelijk, maar om alle mogelijkheden van de Octapad ten volste te benutten zal je toch echt even de gebruiksaanwijzing door moeten lezen. Deze is overigens duidelijk en leest vlot weg. Bekijk zeker even de filmpjes op youtube en laat je overtuigen. Waarschijnlijk de beste €700,- die ik ooit heb uitgegeven!

Alesis Sample Pad 4 - Ideal for Ensembles

Tuesday 3 November 2015

Let's be honest; a large drum is great to look at, but it's also cumbersome and quite expensive. The same goes for a number of other instruments. Beautiful as they are to behold, not all musical instruments are equally manageable. Fortunately, Alesis offers a practical alternative with their Sample Pad 4.

NAMM 2016 has only just begun, but Roland already revealed something pretty special: the Roland EC-10 EL Cajon! At first glance, you might mistake it for a regular cajon, but Roland wouldn't be Roland if they didn't a few clever electronic surprises to the mix. The EL (Electronic Layered) Cajon is a hybrid cajon that allows you to embellish the acoustic cajon sound with various percussion and drum samples.

The Roland SPD-SX PRO: The Boss of All Sampling Pads

Tuesday 20 September 2022 By Kim | Bax Music

It's already been ten years since the release of the Roland SPD-SX: a solid and reliable sidekick for drummers and musicians alike that, due to its age, now has a few noticeable limitations. As such, the all-new SPD-SX PRO is a direct response to user feedback, and since it does everything that the OG did but does it even better, Roland have basically dropped the new end-boss of the sampling pad universe.
