The new Version 2 system upgrade expands the SPD-30rs onboard kit and phrase libraries and add powerful new features and functions. Rolandrs original Octapad profoundly changed the landscape of electronic percussion. The size of a briefcase the Octapad offered drummers and percussionists the equivalent of an entire electronic rig in one self-contained unit mdash; a new level of convenience and expression. Today decades later an exciting new chapter in Octapad history begins. The SPD-30 blends the worldrs most essential sounds with the latest triggering technology in a road-tough package thatrs ready for the most demanding performers.
Forty-nine exciting new kits have been added to the OCTAPAD for even more creative possibilities. Use the OCTAPAD as a compact drum set` play dynamic orchestral percussion` or explore traditional world percussion and melodic instruments from India` the Middle East` Africa` China` and Latin America. * You can back up your own original OCTAPAD SPD-30 kit data and import it into 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.
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.
A new Output Gain function has been added to increase the overall output of the OCTAPAD SPD-30. It provides a +6 dB boost when a stronger signal is needed.
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.
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.
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.
