Roland Octapad SPD-30 Percussion Controller Demo - Sweetwater

[@danielcho2698]

This thing is amazing and Steve Fisher is the perfect guy for this demo. Really shows what this can do

[@NLind]

This demo was so awesome, I just bought an SPD-30 through you!

[@antibulletdodger101]

just bought this, so much fun

[@betex_]

THE BEST DEMONSTRATION!

[@DrummerGrrrl]

He's right about the marching drum sounds. Damn!

[@wendileona]

@alih666 drum footprint, neighbors, freedom to play anytime w/monitors or headphones, mix drums with songs, tracks, built in effects, I can customize snare, kick, tom sounds to fit a playing feel, I can have almost a hundred different drum sets with different character, portability, instant pro sound, MIDI triggering... shall I go on? I setup the SPD's to be like drum sets with external kick/hihat pedals, etc. etc. Darn sensitivity though I thought would improve, unless I didnt find a setting.

[@OCDrummer74]

@marcellogft ... Hi, nope you can't sample external sounds. if you want to do that, ya need the SPS-S pad.

[@veryveryold]

Excuse me, Sir, could you possibly demonstrate “the Hellen Keller thing” again?

[@ArmandoAmbriz0707]

Do you have it is stock?

[@godsword3091]

Which is the best among these two one is 20x and another one 30

[@demidevil666]

@iKeyboard15 no it doesn't. You only get the SPD 30 itself. no stand, no foot pedals, no extra trigger pads. Not that good of a deal man! But it's an awesome instrument. really plays naturally and lively!

[@spencercolucy271]

very entertaining display. I've got mine in layaway!

[@marcellogft]

@anewcross I have the same question!!! can u use the microphone to record samples as well?? PLEASE somebody!

6:58 literally every middle-aged divorced white guy from Cleveland down in his rec room on Friday night.

[@timandrew1091]

Would like to buy one as use as a drumset, but plug my DTX bass and hat pedal to it. Example, 4 top pads are 4 toms...left bottom pad a snare, next one a hi hat, next one a ride, and far right a crash... can it be done? had a spd11, could not get it to work right.....

[@soundadapter]

great demo

[@sandy1995]

I want to get this!!!!

[@hansillbuntin4095]

hello Sir, can you please demonstrate how to connect the spd30 to the computer to be used as a midi sound module, so when I strike the notes on my midi keyboard controller I am playing the sounds from the SPD30,

[@dev7199]

What is the difference between SPD 20x and SPD 30 other than the looping function. Any changes to the Indian sounds?

[@murd777]

Debajyoti Bagchi 10 numbers.

[@ER_aka_RAM]

What bass trigger pedal & hi-hat control were used in the demo?

[@anewcross]

you can put samples like in the spd-s?

[@RebelliousToast]

Yes!

[@jeffthompson8406]

I wish they had a numbered key pad to call up the programs as I like

[@ramencurry6672]

I’ll probably buy it for world music percussion stuff

[@serpz123]

this or native instruments maschine?

[@Nobody95008]

can i use it for making beats for studio production

[@darrenjackson6207]

you have to play it like live drums .

[@Drumsmk]

Can I roland spd30 to import WAV format

[@DanielSilva-fq1oz]

no

[@michaelengle9062]

nice marching snare hands

[@peterantal85]

Anyone knows how to make the 3 black knobs mappable to DAWs? I have been asking around about this online for weeks, no help yet. (I got the tx send ON but still doesn’t work)

[@sweetwater]

Thanks for the question, Peter. I'd suggest looking in the manual on page 64, as it discusses using the knobs for Control Change parameters, as that looks like the only way to send MIDI data via the knobs on that unit. Let me know if you need further assistance. Derek Senestraro, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1243, [e-mail]

[@caleb6709]

anyone, what is the model of hi-hat foot controller he is using?

[@zacharydarner7036]

Around 5:40 I was thinking freakazoid by midnight Star

[@ehnoh150]

How to pay Roland SPDC-30 for left hand

[@V4Kt0RR]

you can easily switch the pads, there's an option when you press the menu button

[@jjjm94jjjm94]

I'm going to buy this octapad! But i have one question... Can you connect the Boss FS-6 Footswitch to it? Please give me help! *I'm sorry for my bad english, im from Holland*

[@DJSidhu24]

Joeri Metselaar You can connect and there are lot of uses by connecting fs6

[@DavidHernandez-cy7jq]

i want one for my drumset

[@ronlawrence5635]

David Hernandez You may consider getting one for yourself, first.

[@mayanksharma86414]

nice

"Hail to the King, baby" - Duke Nukem

[@DavidHernandez-cy7jq]

should have this model instead of my giga synth

[@wendileona]

I'm a long time user of the SPD line, Octopad, which was awful to the good but delicate SPD-8 and the stellar SPD-20, but twenty PLUS years later, in 2010, Roland, with all the tech advancements, as far as I can tell, pad sensitivity is a joke. This guy, a long time Roland electro-drum presenter, can do rolls, but he's using a technique to really pull those rolls out. Darn it, I want to delicately feel the snare when I'm playing. Please, its 2010 Roland.

[@zed2865]

wendileona yeah I bought the current model and the pads are nowhere near as sensitive. Cmon Roland

[@alih666]

@wendileona How about using a real drum? xx

[@Brett_Senzer]

alih666 Sure I’ll carry my compact concert chimes and various gongs with me to a rock gig

[@jessedameron7985]

Is it possible to use the Octapad as a guitar looper (for live guitar riffs) like the Alesis Strike Multipad shown in this video (without any foot pedal)? kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpDbqn5mZbqorrM

[@afr65536]

His microphone needs a pop filter.

[@based_engineer8962]

PPPPPads

[@blindianajones]

Helen Keller comment very uncool. Thanks, now I know not to purchase the product or to buy anything from Sweetwater for a lack of sensitivity.

[@docholliday7777]

Did you just get drum triggered.... I'm going to buy this from Sweetwater because of the Helen Keller comment. You need to grow some calluses on your sensitivity.

[@anewcross]

you can put samples like in the spd-s?
