Until now, integrating custom drum sounds into a percussionist's setup meant configuring complicated drum triggers and a MIDI module. That's why Roland developed the SPD-S Sampling Drum Pad - to give drummers and percussionists an easier and more affordable way to trigger sampled drum sounds and loops. With its generous sampling time, CD-quality sound, time-tested rubber pads and edge triggers, there's never been a better way to play custom drum sounds. The SPD-S Sampling Pad is an affordable and easy way to add sampling to any percussion setup. Naturally, the SPD-S also includes preset sounds and effects so you can start playing immediately. 30 multi-effects and ambience add dimension to sounds Wave memory expandable via optional Compact Flash cards Mounts easily to conventional drum stands and hardware
