Numerous sounds, trigger inputs and extended audio outputs.

The SPD-SX PRO offers 1,550 varied on-board sounds and 200 kits (43 erasable preset kits and 157 user kits). At the same time, the SPD-SX PRO's advanced processor ensures that you can switch kits at any time during performance without cutting off the sound. Roland's sample pad features two balanced stereo master outputs (L/R). When these are combined with the four assignable mono outputs, six audio paths are available to output each pad individually if needed and mix them in a versatile way. Furthermore, a stereo headphone output is available for an individual monitor mix, and the integrated metronome can also be routed individually. With the pad link function, you can trigger audio signals on two pads synchronously with one hit on a pad. This way you can play an audio backing track and an audio click track at the same time. Up to eight mono or four stereo triggers can be connected via the four trigger inputs. Combining external, internal trigger inputs and the connections for hi-hat controllers and footswitches, a total of up to 19 different playing surfaces are available.

Practical App for the SPD-SX Pro

The SPD-SX PRO app from the Roland Cloud is used to import audio files and edit sound and playback parameters via USB on the computer. This way, samples can be moved via drag-and-drop, kits can be compiled and all settings can be adjusted, and it is also possible to name sounds and kits according to your own wishes.

Via the USB connection, eight audio channels plus MIDI are simultaneously transferred to the computer and recorded in a DAW.
