All user reviews of 4/5 for the Roland SPD-SX

first:

a sampler is a sampler, then a point of view of sound quality, if it is to launch a sample, it is a loop, the arrangement of a string orchestra 5 minutes or just a sound snare of 808, the SPD-S works as well as the SPD-SX.


HOW LONG HAVE YOU USE IT? ?


1 week



Did you have tried many models before acquiring it?


yes, the SPD-S, for several years.



What is so special that you like most / least

+ CLICK settings on each kit! ! ! With a separate output for headphones <3
+ Connected via USB with software to name the kits, import the samples, sort them into folders, and assign the pads in 2 seconds
+ Pads more sensitive than the SPD-S
+ PLAYLIST! ! !
+ Routing easy for each pad, between the master, the sub and headphone
+ Wave normalizer incorporated
+ Effects that sound not too bad

- Still no clock twelve o'clock .....
- The two buttons [control 1 and 2] are not customizable (if yes, I have not figured out how to ..)
- 2 GB of memory is enough for most of us, but they could have put 20 gb and sell it more expensive ... 20 euros (even if in fact you can plug a usb to extend the memory .. but hey ...)
- Bank of its very light (138 samples built, the rest is the demo loop which are useless) ...

but no matter, I have not purchased for internal samples, it is so easy now to import 200 samples in 10 seconds ...

if I find the master effects too "toys"
and they starved (or so I have not seen anything yet) editing parameters




How would you rate the quality / price?


excellent, as the spd-s is still sold 350 euros and 500 euros secondhand new, buy the version for over 599 euros is not theft.



Various Notes:

the "phrase marker" of the SPD-S has disappeared, giving way to a re-sampling, but hey, it's not really the same thing ..

they did a big job on sampling functions incorporated, re-sampling, editing directly on the Wave-spd sx, but I do not use any of these functions at the moment because I prefer to treat my course sounds on my PC with softwares made for that, rather than an LCD 6cm x 3cm ...

I went to the spd-s sx mainly for its USB connection and software to import and assignment. wav, click on its configurable (tired of being on stage 2 machine (spd-s + click)), for its playlists (tired to spend 20 minutes before each concert again by copying a playlist in a sticky mess all this joy because the bass player or guitarist want to change a little something in the playlist) and for his memory a little bit most important ..

short fills almost entirely my expectations, given the way I use it.
