Roland SPD-1K Spd:: One Kick Electronic Percussion Pad

Product Information

For those times when the exact sound is required, Instrument slot 12 is free for your own custom WAV sample. This can be up to 5 seconds long. As with the internal sounds, this user sample can be velocity dynamic and you can change its pitch and add effects to it too.

Each module is loaded with useable, model-appropriate sounds spanning classic to contemporary, and they’re all sampled with great detail and quality Four chunky front panel knobs and a small button allow you to choose a sound, or a variation/alternative. Adjust the TUNING, add some Reverb or Distortion via the FX and off you go! It’s not easy to grasp the skill of tapping your feet along and in time – I met another guy who had the same model but gave up on it. So take it into account that it’s gonna take some practice to get used to it.It works on 4 AA batteries, which means that it’s completely portable and you can use it wherever you want to use it. This makes it ideal for buskers. (Street performers) It WILL enhance your song performances. Besides my own feelings about how I sounded much better and more interesting, I noticed that whenever I played with it – people are a lot more attentive, and even moving their body along with the rhythm. I play guitar and sing and this is my third and so far final stomp box (sorry drummers and percussionists!).

Can be floor or tabletop mounted, or fitted to drum hardware and mic stands using the included mounting adapter However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers. The further you turn it, the more intense the effect becomes (in the case of delay, it changes the delay time). They’re great fun on-the-fly, however we did find the reverb to be a bit noisy at more intense settings. As with the tuning setting, your effects are global, so if you change sounds, you’ll need to reset the tuning and effects settings if they aren’t needed.

Accessories Owner's manualFor customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

Now, the sound selector actually has two layers to it, so out of the box you actually have two sounds per position at your disposal by pressing the instrument variation switch. When you do, the LED next to it blinks once or twice to indicate which layer you have selected. Handy.

Customer Reviews

I looked for a way to make my performance more interesting (as a solo act) – and besides a looper – which is “the obvious” choice here, I also found out about these “stomp boxes” – that can add rhythm and drive to your songs.
