Review: Great bundle to start playing right away your SPD-SX - 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's The 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. Review: Powerful, Responsive, and Easy to Use - This Roland sampling pad is very user-friendly and delivers excellent performance.

You can use it with a MacBook pro. If you want to trigger sounds with it and bring them into your computer (like into Garage Band for example) You'll need and "A/B USB" cable. **Q: I wanted a drum pad for my home studio so i bought the spd-sx. it works but would the spd30 have been better? (i don't sample or play live) thanks** A: SPDS-SX has more capabilities. Import your own sounds or songs. SPD-30 does not. **Q: Can you layer sounds on a single pad?** A: Hi there, Yes, it is possible to layer two samples on one pad. You can even combine multiple samples and then assign them to a pad as well for multiple layering. We hope this clarifies things. Thanks for choosing Roland! Kind regards, Roland US product support **Q: Can you add your own samples to this unit, or play them from a flash drive?** A: Hi Nathan, You can't *play* them directly from a flash drive, however you can import any .wav 16bit/44.1kHz files into the SPD-SX's internal memory and then trigger them from either the on-board pads or from external trigger pads connected to the trigger inputs. We hope this clarifies things. Thanks for choosing Roland!
