This landmark Roland instrument sparked the sampling pad revolution with a wide range of tracks, clicks, loops, and one-shot sounds stored inside. Drummers and performing musicians can record, store, and trigger any type of sound on command\u2014easing the burden of making live performances sound like the original recordings. Along with its sampling and import features, the SPD-SX comes with versatile preset kits and a large pre-loaded sample library, including loops, one-shot sounds, and melodic phrases to spark ideas and create music right away.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"photo-gallery-item-headline\">Roland SPD-SX Sampling Pad Overview<\/h3>\n<p class=\"photo-gallery-item-text\">Since its release in 2011, the SPD-SX can be found in setups ranging from mini kits in the homes of social media streamers to the stages of sold-out stadiums. And the pad fits seamlessly into hybrid and electronic kits alike.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"c-headline02 inview in-view-bottom in-view\" data-show=\"on-scroll\">Built to Perform<\/h2>\n<p class=\"c-text inview in-view-bottom in-view-late in-view\" data-show=\"on-scroll\">Building on the capabilities of its trailblazing SPD-S predecessor, the SPD-SX set the bar as the industry-standard sampling pad. Filled with pro features, this powerful pad has become an essential companion for drummers and all sorts of creative stage performers. It\u2019s also built to thrive on the road\u2014taking a beating night after night, on and off stage. Whether you rock out locally on the weekends or perform in sold-out stadiums, the SPD-SX won\u2019t let you down.<\/p>\n<section class=\"about\">\n<div class=\"c-container\">\n<div class=\"about-list\">\n<div class=\"about-item c-grid c-grid--rev inview\">\n<div class=\"c-col c-col in-view-left in-view-late in-view\" data-show=\"on-scroll\"><span class=\"about-healine-eyebrow in-view\" data-show=\"on-scroll\">Unlimited Sounds<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"c-headline03\">Sample, Import, and Trigger Audio<\/h3>\n<p class=\"c-text\">The SPD-SX puts a universe of sounds under your sticks. Trigger an entire track, song part, effect, click track, or one-shot sound with a single pad strike. Then take control over how the audio plays back. From playing covers at clubs and functions to reproducing original song tracks on concert stages, it\u2019s easy to bring studio-level sounds to your live performances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"instant-hit-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"full-width-img m-none\" src=\"https:\/\/static.roland.com\/products\/spd-sx\/images\/section-1-instant-hit.jpg\" alt=\"SPD-SX Velocity-Sensitive Pads\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"instant-hit-card\" class=\"info-section\">\n<div class=\"cmn-container\">\n<div class=\"info-inner\">\n<div class=\"cmn-inner\">\n<div class=\"inview inview--bottom view\"><span class=\"card-hero-healine-eyebrow in-view\" data-show=\"on-scroll\">Instant Hit<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"c-headline02 in-view-bottom in-view\" data-show=\"on-scroll\">Velocity-Sensitive Pads<\/h2>\n<p class=\"c-text in-view-bottom in-view-late in-view\" data-show=\"on-scroll\">The SPD-SX has nine velocity-sensitive rubber pads, and any sound can be assigned to any pad. When you play the pads lightly, the sound plays back quietly. And when you\u2019re ready to wail, play heavier hits for more volume. Alternatively, you can set a pad to fixed velocity, so the volume stays the same no matter how hard you play.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"artist-tour-credit-battles in-view\" data-show=\"on-scroll\">John Stanier \/ Battles<\/span><\/section>\n<section class=\"about\">\n<div class=\"c-container\">\n<div class=\"about-list\">\n<div class=\"about-item c-grid inview\">\n<div class=\"c-col in-view-left in-view\" data-show=\"on-scroll\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.roland.com\/products\/spd-sx\/images\/section-1-light-the-night.jpg\" alt=\"SPD-SX LED Indicators\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"c-col in-view-right in-view-late in-view\" data-show=\"on-scroll\"><span class=\"about-healine-eyebrow in-view\" data-show=\"on-scroll\">Light the Night<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"c-headline03\">LED Indicators<\/h3>\n<p class=\"c-text\">Each SPD-SX pad features a red LED indicator for onstage visibility and pad status. And to meet your performance needs, you can set the LEDs to behave in different ways. Assign them for fixed on\/off status or make them appear only when the pad\u2019s audio is playing. Or set them to illuminate dynamically with audio activity, similar to level meters on a mixing console.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"about-item c-grid c-grid--rev inview\">\n<div class=\"c-col c-col in-view-right in-view\" data-show=\"on-scroll\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.roland.com\/products\/spd-sx\/images\/section-1-storage-and-sounds.jpg\" alt=\"SPD-SX Storage and Sounds\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"c-col c-col in-view-left in-view-late in-view\" data-show=\"on-scroll\"><span class=\"about-healine-eyebrow in-view\" data-show=\"on-scroll\">Under the Surface<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"c-headline03\">Storage and Sounds<\/h3>\n<p class=\"c-text\">You can never have too many sounds, right?

You can use two effects engines simultaneously: master effects and kit effects. The master engine applies to all kits and has 21 different types to amp up your performance. Three common master effect presets on the front panel apply filters, delays, and short loops to any audio playing from the pad at that time. The two assignable kit effects will sound when you play a pad within a chosen kit patch, and you can turn them on and off for full control.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"about-item c-grid c-grid--rev inview\">\n<div class=\"c-col c-col in-view-right in-view\" data-show=\"on-scroll\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.roland.com\/products\/spd-sx\/images\/section-3-in-and-out.jpg\" alt=\"SPD-SX - a range of outputs for easy mixing and monitoring\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"c-col c-col in-view-left in-view-late in-view\" data-show=\"on-scroll\">\n<h3 class=\"c-headline03\">In and Out<\/h3>\n<p class=\"c-text\">Playing live requires many connections, and the SPD-SX makes getting sounds in and out of the pad simple.
