In this tutorial I'll show you how to create your own loops on the Roland Spd SX Pro. You don't need a computer, app or any software to create your own loops. I'll show you how to set up the spd sx pro for recording both with the Line Input and the pads. You can do both simultaneously if you want to record a guitar for example or an external sound from a phone or wherever really as long as you have a 1/4 inch jack adapter.
You can setup the pads to record using any pre-existing patches or custom made ones and you can then trim and normalise your recording and it will save to the sound library where you can add it to any patch once again.

Thanks, this is super useful. The menus of the SPD are vast! Just picked up a PG Spark Live, SPD plugged into, with mic and guitars etc. Sweet one/two man band set up.

Thank you for posting this video! The instructions are very concise and easy to understand. I don’t feel nearly as intimidated about trying to make a loop with this sample pad as I did 8 minutes ago. I’m most definitely going to try my hand at a few loops after I’m finished practicing my drums drums. 🤣 Either way, great video. Very easy to understand.

Thanks a lot for this video. I'm glad it's possible to adjust start/end/loop points, I couldn't find the info anywhere :) I'm thinking of getting an SPD SX Pro. About recording from pads, does that mean you can resample anything you play on the SPD SX Pro, without being connected to a computer or recorder? That'd be amazing. Does everything gets recorded, like even fx tweaks etc? What's the maximum recording lenght? I'm excited about the Pad Sequencer. At first I thought you could load any sample for each of the 16 steps and repeat onto each pad, then realized it was only samples from current pads, so I was bit disapointed but I guess I could quickly switch to another presets to have another set of pad sequenced samples. Can you have several pad sequencers? Would be cool to have different motifs on each pad, uncluding odd polyrhytmic stuff if some are set to 3 and other 2, etc... Cheers

How can you lower and increase the tempo on a roland spd-sx pro please

Great hack, but man would it be convenient if they implemented an actual multi-track looper in a firmware upgrade. Given that Boss(/Roland) already leads the looping game, it's not like they don't have the expertise. Maybe they're worried it'll step on the toes of the RC-series, but if I were Roland I'd be worried about the Korg MPS-10 with its extra pad, full-fledged looper and round robin capabilities. Shoot, even the Alesis Strike Multipad (from 2018!) has a looper.

Yeah it sure would be useful, I don't know why they didn't honestly, I'm sure the SPD-SX could do it 🤔🤣

Hey just purchased one today and still working out the looping side of things, this was very helpful. Is there also a way to record another sample layer over the recorded sample? Or is there an other looping method where you can play one pad and let it loop and play another pad to layer over it?

@Electronicdrumtips 4 ай бұрын

Hiya, so glad it was helpful for you. I would imagine you could create a loop, and then trigger that back in the recording mode and play other pads over the top of it? If that makes sense? 😊

@RobAbfallDrums 2 ай бұрын

can you possibly connect a guitar (Boss loop station) for example to the back of the unit and trigger a loop that way?

Thanks! Can the sounds received on the audio-in port be looped or is that just for backing tracks?

You could record them using the audio input and then set them to loop mate 🙂😎

How do you get to tempo sync on a Roland spd sx pro?

Hi Antony, I have a video about that here...kzfaq.info/get/bejne/idRme9d8t67eaWg.html Unfortunately there is currently no way of tempo syncing

It's mental how much they charge for this device, most overpriced piece of equipment in general.

@Electronicdrumtips 3 ай бұрын

I think the prices have come down quite a bit since its release, I think because each gen of the Spd lasts for so long it's pretty reasonable if you use it a lot 🙂
