New Sounds

An all-new collection of sounds has been created for the HPD-10; approx. 400 high-quality instruments are onboard. All of the percussive essentials have been included — congas, bongos, tabla, djembe, cajon, etc. — as well as melodic percussion, drum kit, special effects, and more. No matter the genre, from ethnic to electronic, the HPD-10 has you covered.

Sensitive Surface

Whether you’re laying down the most delicate finger rolls or the sharpest slaps, the HPD-10’s playing surface can handle anything you give it. The comfortable round surface is divided into ten individual pads with pressure and positional sensitivity. The popular D Beam is also included for dramatic triggering and pitch control. Strike a virtual gong with your head, and control the pitch of a talking drum with your hand waving up/down — you get the picture.

Easy Operation

The PRESET KITS buttons give you quick
access to five specially selected kits —
Conga, Tabla, Steel Drum, Drums, SFX,
and five of your favorite kits. The large,
backlit icon-driven LCD helps you clearly
see what you are playing or editing.	PRESET KITS Button

Style Guide Metronome

The HandSonic 10 has a new type of metronome that provides a musically inspiring selection of rhythm patterns based on a variety of styles — Latin, World Music, Rock, Pop, Jazz, Dance. It helps you not only for practice, but also for sessions as play-along patterns.
