That’s what I’m here for! Samples for everybody!

You’re amazing, thank you so much for the kind words!!

Thanks so much! All cymbals are Meinl, they are: 15” Byzance Jazz Thin Hi-Hat 18” Byzance Traditional Crash 20” Byzance Extra Dry Ride 20” Byzance Trash Crash I sometimes also swap out the ride for a 22” Benny Greb Sand Crash/Ride. Snare wise, my go-to is the 14x5.5 Yamaha Recording Custom Aluminium Snare

Thanks so much! I would look at something like the Octopad or the new SPD-SX PRO to replace the full kit. Just purely as it’s nicer to play/better samples/more control over samples. Plus with something like the new SPDSX PRO, if you wanted to expand that to external pads, you have enough trigger inputs 😁

So with the USB to the computer, the SPD has two modes. The one you’re seeing is “Wave MGR” (which stands for ‘wave manager’) and that’s connecting to the wave manager software. You won’t be able to do anything on the SPD itself, but you will be able to import audio via that software on a computer. If you want to use the MIDI through USB, then go into Menu -> Setup -> Option, and change the ‘USB Mode’ to ‘Audio/MIDI’ using the plus and minus buttons. In regards to the sampling on a pad, are you trying to record over it in the SPD itself? What happens if you make the sample on a computer and import into the SPD?

Thx for the fast reply i will try today after work

If you’re using the in-built sounds, you can duplicate the kit or each pads to a new one by hitting the ‘Quick’ button, then down to ‘Pad Copy’ or ‘Kit Copy’ depending on what you need!

Thanks so much for the kind words!! One option for this is using the headphones out and sending that to your speakers, that'll give you both pad sounds and the click, but you won't be able to control the volumes of each. Or, you can send the pad sounds out of the 'Master Out' on the SPD, and then the click on the 'SUB Out'. With that, you can then send click to your speaker and also take a feed from the DJ so you can hear everything. I hope this helps!!
