Roland SPD-SX Sampling Pad w/ Michael Schack | Better Music

[@ryanmcmahon7005]

wish I could wake up every morning with this guys energy!

[@randypeal2255]

This is one of the better and more useful demonstrations I've seen of the Roland SPD-SX. This demonstrates exactly why I want one.

[@jon00769]

The way he’s using it effectively makes the pad a midi controller. Something that’s been around for decades. I achieve the same results with my old Alesis Control Pad I’ve had for 10+ years and FL Studio.

[@johndoe9450]

@@jon00769 Excatly - You are only using a very expensive an powerful instrument as a MIDI controller for Ableton Live. This can be achieved with .... a MIDI controller. If this is all you want an SPD-SX for then save the money and buy a MIDI controller. @Randy Peal It sounds like you dont have a solid enough understanding on this subject to know what you need.

[@sandercools3605]

@GM 99 You can, you'll just have to get used to the placement of the pads. For instance, you can connect a kick pedal to the SPD-SX on the back and then you would have 10 triggers in total. You can the put the kick sound on the kick pedal, put the snare on pad 7 (on the bottom left), hi hat closed on 8, hi hat open on 9, toms on 4 5 and 6, crash on 1, second crash on 2 and ride on 3. (just one of the many options). I do believe that you also have the option to connect an electronic hihat to the SPD-SX in a way so that you can play open and closed on that external hi hat, but I've never tried that myself. A big bonus is that you can put a different style of drumset in every different kit of the SPD-SX. But then again, why not just buy an electronic drum set? Unless you also want to use some of the SPD-SX's pads to trigger backing tracks and other sounds than drum sounds I don't see the benefit of using the SPD-SX purely as a drum replacement. Hope this answered your question in a way :)

[@ectyka]

The vibe connection they both had when the beat dropped hahaha they both were just grooving at 6:06 love the insight brothas!

[@paulussantosociwidjaja4781]

Mike has always been making drumming is FUNtastic! Cheers!

[@thuado2789]

My god! Just bought one a few days ago, i was thinking about returning it until i saw this video. Great demo!!

[@itsjustaride12]

this guy is amazing. such a great energy

[@OtaakBand]

I'd really like to know how to check my email on it

[@ceceandrick]

Nice got one today. From Los Angeles living in Amsterdam. Netherlands. After watching all your videos and lots of reading. I think it's great and easy to use. Ive uploaded some sounds I download from a few sites today using the Roland software provided. I started with 8 wave files single zone 8 pads one open. A few files I had to change delete shorten it, remove caps. Then it uploaded fine onto the kit I7 . Renamed kit then saved remove USB cable and done. I went in and change the setting on kit 17 to single shot take poly off loop etc. So it would do what I wanted. I have my Roland TD module plugged into my SPD-SX with single Roland 1/4 male to male mono cable. I now use my headphones on the SPD as it has a headphone volume. Next I will be taking samples from audio from my turntable. Ive orders the proper cables. I don't know if anyone has tried this yet. Moby and Frankie goes to Hollywood are on the list.

[@Teach2Build]

Great video, gentlemen. Best demonstration of live use potential I've seen yet! My old spd-s spits white noise out along with the actual sound playing so I've resorted to using it as a midi controller to trigger loops on a laptop. I use an outboard audio interface to send signal to the house. Works great while I save for a new SPD-SX!

[@LavitoBeats]

Damnnnn son you nailed it. God bless you.

[@erichvonglahn5314]

This guy is a master on drums, AND on the electronics that go with it. I feel like I should be paying him for the lesson.

[@bettermusic]

You could put some money in an envelope & send it to us if it will make you feel better...

[@MagnusDrums101]

Just one USB cable ! Love that line at the end

[@davidsalyers3722]

Michael is come a long way since the Six Flags commercials...

It took me a second. :) You mean this right? kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXm1l5hrnN1-jKs

Very cool....mine is on its way as you read this.

8:08 "oxygen". Michael you are a robot!

[@mysalvationendures]

Excellent demo!

[@yanndinger2199]

Hi, Thanks a lot for this video, it is amazing. I bought an spd sx kind of because of this one. I'am also trying abelton live right now. After getting rid of the usb version issue I followed the instructions of the video, but i struggle with a latency when i hit the pad and when the sample is read. Is there any configuration to use to have a fluid read and re read like in the video (timming 5:43)? thanks in advance.

[@bobugles]

Damn!!! Michael You're A Beast!!!

[@scrundy541]

Heston cooking up some sick beats!

[@violin191]

Very well demonstrated.

[@DrumRoody]

I want one but it's over due for an update. If I buy one today it will be updated tomorrow :P

[@michaelschack]

It's actually been updated! Check out the SPD-SX SE

[@RefugioDrummer]

@@michaelschack I got one SPD-SX SE...bruh

[@michaelbaber9976]

Does anyone know where to find the loop sample from the very beginning of this video? Fires me up every time I watch it!

[@TheMacaholic206]

I like this dude!!!!

[@bretzwier4031]

Can you assign mute groups between kits? I know mute groups work within the SAME patch. I have more than nine loops to run and currently need to hit all sounds off after switching to a new patch. (I also don't have the luxury of a consistent set list to link loops in any order and we don't stop between songs.) Seems like an easy fix. No one wants to assign a whole pad or switch just for All Sound Off. What do you think, Michael?

[@rodrigovilleda764]

Wow i love this

[@bjoernjuergensen1170]

Hi Michael how are you? i am using the SPD SX for some time and it is a great tool on stage and in studio. i usually used the built-in click track up to now, but now i want to import my own click track and sync it with the internal click of the Roland SPD-SX. but: it is out of sync, it is slowlier and you can also hear it through the deeper tone of the tamborine... Turning off tempo sync via pad settings did not succeed. any ideas? appreciate your help greetings from Germany , Björn

[@suonarelabatteria]

Hi, my Mac doesn't recognize SPD SX as a Audio/Midi device in Ableton and other DAWs. Already checked the USB mode in the SPD SX options and made a factory reset. The USB Cable is Hi Speed... Any suggestion?

[@mrtokara]

dwonload driver for spdsx from website

[@michaelschack]

Install the driver, but check you OSX version first and download the corresponding driver, especially when you're on High Sierra. Hope it works now?

[@vicesquadpunk]

Great drummer, creative as hell too.... as a guitarist consider me a new fan and subscriber brother ✌🏽

[@evileye100]

totaly awesome!!!

[@DoblyTufnell]

So, the sound file is on the laptop. Then he assigns that sound from a project in Abelton to a pad. Right So the sound file is still on the laptop? Next song he has go back to the laptop and assign all the pads again? I am just trying to get my head around this.

[@mattgooderson]

I love this!

[@garydvisualz]

Dumb (?) question but when the spdsx is hooked up to laptop as a controller to the laptop, is the audio coming from the laptop? I ask because the spdsx effects knobs still seemed to be working during the playback. Was that just midi data going back to the laptop or is the spdsx outputting the audio?

[@Teach2Build]

The laptop sends the audio back to the spdsx where the effects can be applied. You use the audio outs of the spdsx to send to the p.a.

[@michaelschack]

The SPD-SX can function as a sound interface for any USB compatible device, including a laptop. The laptop will recognise the USB connected SPD-SX as "SPD-SX" and you will be able to select it for both audio input and output. You will need to install the SPD-SX driver though, which you can find on any Roland website. Enjoy!

[@WesHappening]

How do you control a plug in effect on ableton with your preset pads on the spd sx with no sounds on the computer just my pad but want to control plug in from ableton????

[@alexfr811]

Nice... what version of Live do i need to do that? Would the Intro version do?... thx

[@p203557]

Can you repeat the process and switch between multiple midi sample kits from the SPD-SX? So a different kit with different samples for each track. Then switch kit for each new song?

[@xImBeaST12321x]

Im sure you could, this thing seems to be able to do anything if you know how to use it lol

[@danteparraguez2320]

[@wardout5695]

[@ryanbates362]

Is there a way to organize all WAV files in alphabetical order? I've added a bunch of my own samples with prefix Snare_xx or HH_xx, etc and just want them mixed in with the factory sounds but can't figure out how to do it.

[@ceceandrick]

Ive seen your question earlier today somewhere else . There auto numbered as you add them upload them to your SPD wave list. 210 preloaded sounds. I added 8 today and now how 218. I happy that there at the tail end so I can keep track of my own waves on put on there. If they were in there another way I would have a hard time keeping track of my own personal waves. Good luck.

[@bugglemagnum6213]

the bass in that last song was nasty

[@briankeith7463]

Can you also do this with your audio interface, such as focus scarlite, set up as well as the spd sx? I ask because of wanting to record regular drums through audio interface at same time as recording the spd sx?

[@JasonNoto]

Probably if your drums are mic'd up

[@munepa2789]

Hey Michel, can you do this also with Logic 10.5?

[@gatlinproduction]

SELL THAT YOU KNOW WHAT. GREAT JOB BRO.

[@richardjeannetti8744]

I want one to do this so bad, i take it as the spd sx will sample from your music library with software provided?

I have a Spd Sx and its great trying to find other drum samples for kick snare hihat can someone help where can I find these samples

[@bobdrums]

check out the website "that sound" they have amazing samples

[@michaelschack]

I have a couple of sample packs out, with specific sounds for SPD-SX as well of which some were used in this demo of SPD-SX and TD-50 : www.loopmasters.com/genres/16-Drums/products/3452-Michael-Schack-Hybrid-Beats-Session

[@gatlinproduction]

Tell Me. So how can you hook up the SPD-SX And Your Roland Sound Module at the same time with one Computer? Because the Roland TD50k Ask you for there Host to use inside of Protools or I would think inside of any software DAW. So how can I run Both Inside of Midi Mode to my computer? Roland TD-50K User.

[@michaelschack]

You can by just having both drivers installed. It's like connecting two keyboards and selecting which one come into which MIDI input. For audio, you can normally chose one of both.

[@rebecaperalta5863]

Good video

[@Prempadskanamala]

Hi sir Is there any chance to export all waves in SX ?

[@johndoe9450]

If all you want to do is use the SPD-SX as a MIDI controller for Ableton then buy a MIDI controller. Also id love to see some examples of this electronic instrument being used for more tasteful things than tacky shit like messing aound with the Beverly Hills Cop theme.

[@octopadpatchrhythmmasti20x75]

Hello sir .. which software your using in your laptop .. & how to connect through sx pad to laptop

[@dansullivan6464]

Is that just a standard cymbal stand and arm/boom, with the standard plate for the sds to drop into, i like the height, appreciate any advice.

[@arielsuave]

I think that might be the official Roland stand for it which attaches to the back of the SPD-SX, but I can't be 100% sure since I don't own one. Maybe you can find additional information visiting the Roland website

[@alexfr811]

Nice... A question, how do you go from one mashup to the other without touching the comp? Thx

[@JasonNoto]

I saw a demo where she set different samples into each pad

[@Sean-mv2ro]

He plugs directly into a laptop, surely this would have a lot of audio lag? Is there a way to fix this without an external audio interface? I'm having this problem...

[@arielsuave]

Where you able to resolve your issue? Genuinely curious. Cheers

[@PierreDenissenDrums]

The SPD-SX is your audio interface. You don’t need a additional audio interface.

[@jamescollingridge8316]

Does this have any loop functions?

[@wuzza1960]

Is it possible to give a little bit of tuition with logic instead of Ableton please ?

You said towards the end about sound coming from laptop via minijack sounding like shit. What do you mean?

[@michaelschack]

A minijack connection out of a laptop always sounds less than any USB connected sound interface which has better digital audio to analog audio converters built in.

He was there to interview Michael, but hell, Michael took the reigns and he went to TOWN. I feel sorry for the guy actually lol

[@johndoe9450]

It's so funny that you can hear right away that the drums are electronic. They just lack that real life attack of the sticks hitting the drumhead and some imperfection. I'm not judging what's "better". But an electronic kit will never be able to make up for a real kit. You have all the exepensive top gear from Roland and it still can't make up for the real thing.

hitting that kit WAY too hard. no need for it

[@michaelschack]

Why can't I? I play and move and dance as I do, and I adjust the trigger settings accordingly to increase/stretch the dynamics of the TD-50 as wide as possible. It's called "enthusiast triggering" and the Roland V-Drums can take it:)
