All user reviews for the Roland SPD-S

The Roland SPD s is a drum/ sampling pad that is really affordable. It allows you to bring some of your drumming into life in your music without having to go out and pay for a large drum set that will take up a lot of room in your home. This is the perfect tool for a drummer who wants to lay down some great drum patterns and cant afford a real drums set or just doesn’t have room to put it. It is also small enough that you can take it almost anywhere with you and because they are pads and not drums, there is no “real” sound. So you can put some headphones in and start playing and people around you cant hardly hear a thing.

Set up is really easy, it comes with the ability to play up to 8 different sounds simultaneously on 6 different pads. It comes pre loaded with over 150 different drum sampled sounds that you can use right away and they don’t need much eq’ing.

The sounds are good, there is even an sequencer right on the device so you don’t have to slave it to another outboard sequencer if you don’t want to. So these means that if you want you can use it as a stand alone device and don’t have to have anything else running it or sequencing what you are playing because it can do it all on its own. It has the ability to import .wav files from your computer (pc or mac).
Overall, this is perfect for someone like me (who doesn’t have room for a drum set in the apartment). I can lay down some really good drum grooves and record them, then I usually track it out into another sequencer so I can start adding some bass and other instruments to the drum patter that I made with the Roland SPD S. Not to mention that this machine doesn’t cost much either.

The SPD-S is a simple and economic solution for adding samples kit percussion or drums. Alternative choice lensemble acoustic sensor / sampler rack, the SPD-S lets you capture samples in CD quality and replay them from its six IMMEDIATE pads or three dclencheurs of edges. It has of course also sound presets and deffets to use IMMEDIATE.

TRS is a good product for dvelopper his sense of rhythm, sound and support its library.

The problem with the SPD-S is that it will soon become the gold standard of "MultiPad" and that I am even more lucky to have one!
Apart from the absence of direct USB connection and only 8 voice polyphony, nothing can repprocher him under what it offers for its price ...
IF! Perhaps the absence of a separate output for the kick we like to have sec.
But hey, who for years have carted racks samplers, who fought with the cables and had come to give up are finally rewarded.
For others who are new to the electro with this machine: What luck!
I do not see what could fill me .... one more second ... SPD-S for show?!?!
I wanted to sleep with, but Madame is very jealous.

I use it for over a year is a reliable, heavy duty, good quality sound of trs, trs implementations fairly simple and friendly, the possibility of multiple edition, but with two big little problem: the time-stretching algorithm is carrment needy (they put a little warning for the "noises" additional) in fact it is often inaudible, and For me the biggest missing: although the "short" squenceur benefitted from a "tap tempo" it does not send or recognize clock, or SMPTE or MIDI clock or MIDI Time Code, the feared serious! thus we can not use samples "in tempo" mode improv, you have to go through something like gnial "Ableton Live" with another module that sends the clock; honnte it for the price, and all fawns, there is no choice;

Roland Rules!

About two years

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- What is the particular feature you like best and least?</span>
No more endless loads of funk and a micro break. New pad, the compaction load flash that said sample has the computer.
Robust believe me! I play often in extreme conditions, very hot sun, cold, rain. Well he is still alive! Its ease of use.
The least ... I want more output, more inputs for other pads, an even longer memory and real effects.

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?</span>

It is the only one! there is no trick of the same kind

Ben very good for it is the only of its kind

The Roland SPD-S is an electronic drum pad that's made for triggering samples. It's designed to be placed within the context of your drum kit so you can have access to electronic drum sounds on the spot. I don't own this and I'm not primarily a drummer so I don't plan on owning it in the future, but I recently did a recording session where the drummer had one of these and was using it within his full kit. A lot of drummers would overdub stuff like this, but I guess if you're used to playing with it live anyway and it's a big part of your rig, you might as well use it like a real drum. The SPD-S has six pad in total in addition to three edge triggers, and you can play up to eight sounds at once. It also has a ton of preset sounds and effects, so it's definitely a fully functional drum pad in itself. One of the best features of it has to be the 12 minutes of sampling it has as well, giving you an endless array of possibilities. Again, I haven't gone in depth with the Roland SPD-S as most users will, but I've heard it and seen it used enough to know it's potential. As far as I've seen, it's one of the most complete drum pad triggers I've seen. It's hard to go wrong with a Roland product in general as they make some of the best gear available. The SPD-S is definitely included amongst their best work as unless you're looking for more pads or more control, this is pretty much the perfect drum pad to add to your kit. It's probably only worth it for those who are triggering sounds and samplers all the time, but either way it's an awesome tool for any drummer to have.

I use the SPD-S sampler for several months with my cover band ...
It's fascinating how, in hindsight, he made his place in the group and became indispensable ... Its a little here, a sequence by the ... I remember the head of my fellow purists to the old instruments on the first day I'm stingy with it: "You will do what?? For metal ???". After all this time and these hours, they realize that having the pretty bell on "For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Metallica, it's fun on stage ...
All that to say that this machine is a very important place in our musical life and develops ideas to infinity ... especially since it's a great friend in the complementary music ... lots of bells, congas, tambourines, gongs, without moving any arsenal .. it's been very fun ...
Two flats and a big question:
First trouble: When I launch an audio clip of the value of a piece (4 minutes), and percussion that I made above, the sequence is cut ... is there a way to fix this??
Second downside: I still have not found when I did a loop mode "WAVE", how to import on a patch and assign a pad ... is always possible ... starting from the wave to patch ... then frankly ... if someone could finally explain to me, that would make me a GREAT service ...

In conclusion, beautiful machine, very useful, effective, reliable, and convenient ...
