Having a Roland Octopad is like having a truckload of customizable drum and percussion instruments in one portable package.īased on Roland's world-leading effects technology, the SPD-30's multi-effects engine will take your performances to another level. You can customize the sounds with the onboard controls for tuning, muffling, attack, pitch sweep, and more. Fifty kits are built into the SPD-30-essential sounds that span a musical universe of styles.
Unlike the original Octapad PAD-8, which was strictly a MIDI controller, the Roland Octapad SPD-30 is a controller that's packed with its own internal bank of sounds. Now, decades later, another exciting chapter in Octapad history begins. The size of a briefcase, the Octapad offered drummers and percussionists the equivalent of an entire electronic rig in one self-contained unit-a new level of convenience and expression. Roland's original Octapad profoundly changed the landscape of electronic percussion. Roland wraps the Octapad in a road-tough package that's ready for the most demanding performers. The Roland Octapad SPD-30 blends the world's most essential sounds with the latest percussion triggering technology.
