Roland SPD-SXKIT Sampling Kit with SPD-SX Percussion Pad, Stand, Two Drum Triggers, and Trigger Cables

This bundle contains everything needed to start using the Roland SPD-SX unit. If you try to buy the components separately you will Spend more, and risk buying some incompatible product. Go around and add up all the individual components, and you'll see what I mean.I still don't see the components listed here so here's my 2 cents to try and list them and give a brief review:The main unit is the Roland SPD-SX. The unit is a bit lighter for what I was expecting but also really sturdy. Really well built. This is a SAMPLING pad so it will NOT generate sounds since it does not has an sound generator engine. If you have a good sound library you can import it though be warned it only reads WAV and AIFF. Max size is capped at 2GB. You can control other sources from its included MIDI IN/OUT. Until now usage has been almost flawless. It's really intuitive to use, manual is really clear. As long as you don't expect it to do something else that it's not designed to do, you'll love it. One of the best part is it's metronome/tempo output routing. You can route to earphones, main out or sub-out. The unit uses USB to connect to PC and includes a basic audio management software to manage BASIC actions like importing, deleting, renaming wavs, kits, and also includes full Import/Export capabilities to your PC. Anyway if you're here you're probably aware of what it can do ;)***Read the manual online so you get familiarized with the unit and functions beforehand. That way when it arrives you can enjoy it right away***[...]The pedal is a BOSS FS-5U. It's a momentary switch. Great for triggering extra sounds and other stuff from the unit.The Stand adapter is a ROLAND APC-33. This is the stand adapter designed to fit the SPD-SX so there is basically no other choice here. It'sThe cables are HOSA. There are 2 balanced 1/4's (one is for the footswitch the other you can use for additional trigger of footswitch), 1 two-way MIDI, 2 balanced 1/4 to XRL's (great for outputting to console). I've tried them all except the MIDI and they work as expected. Nothing exiting here.The sticks are 5A Nova by Vic Firth. B-quality sticks but do the job to operate the unit when not drumming with the set. I wouldn't use them for with my drumset but that's because I'm a heavy hitter. I have them beside my PC for when I bring the unit to import sounds etc.I am very pleased with this bundle. I have not seen any other bundle for this unit over the net so it was a no-brainer.I will be using this to reproduce some sequences in a live setting for Message to Venus: [...] Hope all goes as planned!NOTE:Sonic Sense also has other bundles featuring the SPD-SX so be sure this is the one you want/need.

The Roland SPD-SX is a must have added to the acoustic drum kit. I’ve used it by its self in a studio recording to a small gig. With the ability to upload my own files, the possibilities are endless. You will need regret purchasing your own multi sample pad.

First off, this is a sweet package for the cost! I did have an issue with not receiving the full shipment and had to contact the company. They provided excellent service and shipped me what I was missing. Product came in excellent condition and I am still tweaking with some of the settings/presets. THIS IS A SAMPLING MACHINE, THOUGH YOU COULD ALSO USE SOME OF THE DRUM PRESETS!!! I usually put sound effects or fill-ins for my background sound (which is in .wav format from my FL/CUBASE/ETC. programs) when I'm playing live and it saves from hauling my computer everywhere in gigs. Plus with the added real-time effects modulator, I am just starting with the potential this machine could produce!!! I really appreciated the fact that the company I purchased the product for me got back to me with haste and sent the missing parts. I would definitely order from them again in the future!

si esta bien,, gracias....

An excellent purchase, once you start really making it your own. The presets are pretty basic, but good to show the versatility and mechanics of the sampling pad.the only reason I gave it four stars and not five was because I couldn't load my WAV samples on correctly, due to an error in the program. An easy way to fix this is to have the SPD-SX record the sample, and assign it to the desired pad.The sampling pad is more of a live performance tool than a production tool, but it is possible.

The learning curve is huge, but if you're looking to add electronics to your drum kit, this IS the only product you would want! The expansion options for triggers is unmatched.

Not free but very dependable sampler. Getting samples and setting up scenes is easy with SPD-SX editor. I'm an acoustic guitarist using it to trigger backing tracks and to trigger samples via kick pedal during some songs.

One of the best investments I’ve made in drumming in a long time.

Desde el primer momento se siente la calidad.Es fácil de usar y muy versátil.Vale cada centavo

Es un objeto útil, sin embargo preferiblemente hay que tener un conocimiento mediano en producción para sacarle bastante provecho, no contiene una interfaz realmente amigable para los usuarios. En cuanto a respuesta de hardware y calidad física si es sobresalientemente bueno.

The only reason because I’m giving a 4 stars review is because it’s a little pricy....However I can not complain about the quality built and all the options you will get to perform as well as in a gig or in a Studio recording, it also needs an update on the screen and controls as it is very small and sometimes it’s hard to read, but overall I recommend this great product, thanks Roland

Good

This is much more difficult to use than one may think. The manual does not explain things well
