Roland SPD-SX Sampling Pad

Roland SPD-SX is the Ultimate Upgrade for Your Rig!

If you’re a drummer, DJ, percussionist, producer, or live performer searching for total control over samples and backing tracks, the Roland SPD-SX Sampling Pad stands as the industry standard trusted on stages worldwide. Designed to elevate live and studio setups alike, this powerful sampling pad blends expressive playability, deep sound control, and road-ready reliability into one compact performance hub.

At its core, the SPD-SX delivers true sampling freedom. Trigger full backing tracks, loops, clicks, and one-shots directly from the pads, or import your own WAV and AIFF files via USB. Whether you’re recreating studio productions live or launching original loops on the fly, studio-quality sound is always at your fingertips.

The SPD-SX features nine velocity-sensitive rubber pads that accurately capture every nuance of your playing—from subtle ghost notes to explosive accents—without crosstalk. Each pad is surrounded by a bright red LED, providing instant visual feedback on dark stages. Customizable LED behaviour helps you track loops, phrases, and levels with confidence during high-pressure performances.

With 16 GB of internal memory, the SPD-SX stores up to 25 hours of stereo samples, making it easy to build massive sound libraries. It also includes 210 onboard samples and 16 preset kits, giving you a solid foundation to customise and expand.

Three powerful onboard effects engines—one master and two kit effects—add serious creative depth. Dedicated real-time control knobs let you tweak filters, delays, and more while you play, transforming static samples into dynamic, evolving textures.

Built for modern workflows, the SPD-SX offers USB audio/MIDI connectivity, Wave Manager software for easy file management, sub outputs for click tracks, and support for external pads and footswitches—making it a true centrepiece for professional live performance.
