Convenient CompactFlash storage

The SPD-S works with readily available CompactFlash media—making it easy to expand the onboard sampling time, store

custom sounds, and even import or export .WAV/AIFF files using your Mac or PC.

Integrates easily with your kit

A great alternative to acoustic triggers and a rack sampler, the SPD-S lets you play up to eight sounds using six durable rubber pads and three superb-feeling edge triggers. There are no complicated settings to make. Just record a sound, assign it to a pad and go. Up to 12 minutes of sampling is provided in Long mode, along with CD-quality sampling and easy editing including Truncate and Trigger Mode functions.

The SPD-S Sampling Pad is a simple and affordable way to tap into the power of sampling. Six pads and three edge triggers allow drummers to trigger CD-quality samples and create phrase loops complete with pro-quality effects.

Powerful sound creation tools

With 30 multi-effects algorithms and a unique ambience effect, the SPD-S offers endless sound-sculpting tools. Just add an effect and resample the output for quick and easy triggering! Using the Phrase Maker function, you can create custom phrase loops by resampling a pattern being triggered from the pads. And tweaking a sound or effect during performance is easy—just twist the front-panel knobs or use an optional expression pedal.

REAR VIEW

Choose from pre-loaded or sampled sounds

With room for 399 User waveforms, the SPD-S can store plenty of samples. Better still, there are also 181 ready-to- play waveforms pre-loaded into User memory. These sounds are unique to the SPD-S and include a variety of acoustic and electronic drums, percussion, sound effects and phrase loops that can be combined with user samples to create the ultimate drum kit. A sampling CD is also included, making it easy to expand the onboard sounds.

Expandable and customizable

The SPD-S has a stereo input and can accommodate up to two trigger units for playing a drum pad in either a head or head/rim configuration. And with MIDI In and Out, it makes a great controller and module as well. Drummers will also appreciate being able to assign two waveforms per pad and switch them via velocity or footswitch. The pads and the optional footswitch also make for an easy way to stop sounds, switch Patches and turn effects On or Off.
