Digital Percussion Controller
Roland - 'Octapad SPD-30'
Version 2

Digital Percussion PadThe latest version 2.0 system update to Roland’s ‘SPD-30’, greatly expands the built-in kits and phrase libraries available and adds a whole host of powerful new features and creative functions. The original Octapad changed the playing field of electronic percussion, what it was, and what it was able to do. Whilst only the size of a regular briefcase, Octapad offered drummers and percussionists, what was essentially an entire electronic rig, in one self-contained unit.
Now, decades have passed and an exciting new chapter in Roland’s Octapad has been written. The ‘SPD-30’ marries together some of the world’s most essential sounds, with Roland’s famous triggering technology in a highly portable and tough housing which is ready and waiting for the world’s drummers and percussionists to get on board!

Controllable Phrase Loop function
(Version 2)The onboard Phrase Loop function lets you instantly create layered loops and phrases. You can record and store 50 phrases internally, with each containing up to three layers. You can also save your phrase data on your USB Memory. With Version 2, you can control the start of Phrase Loop using pad velocity, buttons presses, and/or a footswitch (optional).
Additionally, you can toggle freely between solo play (Kit mode) and phrase play (Phrase Loop mode). Nineteen new phrases have been added to the onboard library, which adds exciting performance and recording possibilities.
Useful Kit Chains for Live Performance!

8 onboard banks!There are eight banks of Kit Chains onboard conveniently organized into musical style and instrument categories. Select from Drum Kits, Percussion, Orchestra Perc, Club Sounds, Melodic Perc, Melodic Synth, Sound Effects, and Expanded Kits.
Use the Chains as is, or easily edit them to best suit your live-performance needs.
tweak to how you like it!Unlike the original Octapad PAD-8, which was strictly a MIDI controller, the Octapad SPD-30 is a controller that’s packed with its own internal bank of sounds.
You can customize the sounds with the onboard controls for tuning, muffling, attack, pitch sweep, and more. It’s like having a truckload of customizable drum and percussion instruments in one portable package.
Advanced Triggering Technology

the ultimate in pad sensitivity!The SPD-30 benefits from Roland’s most advanced V-Drum triggering technology. Each pad is a separate, isolated unit, providing the ultimate in sensitivity with complete crosstalk rejection.
In addition, you can connect four dual-trigger inputs plus a hi-hat controller (compatible with Roland FD-8, VH-11) to create a mini drum set with external pads (Roland KD / PD / PDX / CY series), as well as to accept triggers from acoustic drums through Roland’s RT series.
Multi-Effects!Based on Roland’s world-leading effects technology, the SPD-30’s multi-effects engine will take your performances to another level. There are 30 types of internal multi-effects onboard, plus EQ, limiter, and seven Ambience types.
