The Roland Octapad SPD-30 Total Percussion Pad boasts an impressive increase in kits, now offering a total of 99 options with the Version 2 update. With an additional 49 exciting kits, this percussion pad opens up a world of creative possibilities. Whether you're looking to emulate a compact drum set, experiment with orchestral percussion, or explore traditional world percussion and melodic instruments from various cultures, the Octapad SPD-30 has got you covered. Furthermore, you have the ability to back up your own custom kit data and import it into Version 2, ensuring a seamless integration with your personal sound library.
With the onboard Phrase Loop function, the Octapad SPD-30 allows you to effortlessly create layered loops and phrases. Record and store up to 50 phrases internally, each featuring up to three layers. You even have the option to save your phrase data on a USB memory for easy access.
The Version 2 update enhances the control of the Phrase Loop function, allowing you to start loops with pad velocity, button presses, and even a footswitch (optional). This versatile feature gives you the freedom to seamlessly switch between solo play and phrase play, adding even more depth and dimension to your performances. Additionally, Version 2 comes with nineteen new preset phrases, expanding your creative options and offering exciting performance and recording capabilities.
The Octapad SPD-30 Version 2 introduces eight banks of Kit Chains, ingeniously organized into musical styles and instrument categories. Whether you're playing drum kits, percussion, orchestral percussion, club sounds, melodic percussions, melodic synths, sound effects, or expanded kits, these pre-designed chains are a valuable resource for live performances. You can use them as is or easily edit them to suit your specific needs on stage. This feature allows for quick and seamless transitions between different sounds and styles, ensuring a dynamic and engaging performance every time.
In response to customer feedback, Version 2 of the Octapad SPD-30 now includes an Output Gain function. This new addition allows you to increase the overall output of the percussion pad when you require a stronger signal. With a +6 dB boost at your disposal, you can ensure that your sound cuts through the mix and leaves a lasting impression.
Unlike its predecessor, the Octapad SPD-30 is not merely a MIDI controller; it is a standalone percussion pad with its own internal bank of sounds. This means you have a wide range of customizable drum and percussion instruments at your fingertips. With the onboard controls for tuning, muffling, attack, pitch sweep, and more, you have the power to shape and mould your sound to suit your exact preferences. The Octapad SPD-30 truly is a portable package that offers the versatility of an entire drum kit with the convenience of one compact device.
Take your performances to the next level with the Octapad SPD-30's multi-effects engine. Built on Roland's world-leading effects technology, this percussion pad offers 30 types of internal multi-effects, along with EQ, limiter, and seven Ambience types. This comprehensive range of effects allows you to add depth, texture, and character to your sound, giving your performances a professional and polished touch.
Benefitting from Roland's most advanced V-Drum triggering technology, the Octapad SPD-30 is renowned for its exceptional sensitivity and complete crosstalk rejection. Each pad on the percussion pad is a separate and isolated unit, ensuring accurate and precise triggering. Additionally, you have the ability to connect four dual-trigger inputs and a hi-hat controller (compatible with Roland FD-8, VH-11) to create a mini drum set using external pads (Roland KD / PD / PDX / CY series).
Furthermore, you can even integrate acoustic drums through Roland's RT series triggers, ensuring a seamless integration with your existing setup. The Octapad SPD-30 delivers unmatched performance and responsiveness, allowing you to express yourself with finesse and subtlety.
