Thank you so much for posting this. You should be paid a lot of money by Roland for clearly explaining this. It should be a tutorial on their web site and be included in the operation manual. It makes sense of the whole sample loop function and I use it every time I make a new loop. Thank you thank you thank you.

Thanks for the kind words Andy. I didn’t really make the video expecting any money. I just wanted to help my fellow musicians out. Nevertheless, I wouldn’t say “no” if Roland threw me a bone. Unfortunately, in my experience digital music companies aren’t really open to ideas from their hardcore users who have good ideas to make their products better. This is the sometimes harsh reality. Again, thanks for the compliment and I hope you have a great time with your music expression.

Is there a way to record directly from playing one of the pads to create a sample without using a microphone or an external source? I would like to be able to assign a sound (like a hand clap) to a pad, and then start a recording for a sample and play a phrase,( like 2 measures) and save that as a sample and then assign it to a kit on a pad and loop it. Is the Roland SPD-SX capable of that, or do I need to record the output on another device to create the sample?

@stefanbregenzer4 жыл бұрын
You gotta go to Menu - Setup - Option and there set the USB Mode to Audio/Midi. When you then hook the pad up with your computer (via the usb connection) it should be recognised as interface. I don't know how it works in garageband, but in Ableton you gotta chose the interface then in your preferences. Should work similar in most software I guess.

Hey, can you do live sampling with a microphone on the SPD sX? I know it does not have an XLR input, but maybe you can plug a mic in with a lead with a jack end to it to put as an imput. That would make the mic lose a lot of volume though. I know you can live sample on the SPD X with a mic but hoping there’s a newer drum pad to do this on
@brettdonis6754 жыл бұрын
ChannelCez I use a Boss RC-505 as a vocal sampler and you could bridge the output to the input of the SPD-SX if you wanted to. There’s also a Boss RC-202. The Boss sampler sounds like something you might enjoy.
@ChannelCez4 жыл бұрын
Hey I already have the 505. So I can just connect the output of my looper into the input there and then sample whatever vocals I do live from it into the sx. That could work. Would it work plugging the phones out from looper into the spd sx as I would generally have the regular output go to a speaker for performance. Though I also wanted to loop from the the spd sx into my looper (much easier to loop well on it than what you do here) and don’t know if it’s good to have them both having input and output into into each other.
@brettdonis6754 жыл бұрын
You might also consider a mixer. Output the SpD and the 505 to a mixer. Then output the mix as your main output. I use a mixer for all my Roland devices (e.g. TD30, SPD30, SPD-SX), and just output the mix to my speakers.

Hi Brett! How you set this thing up? I'm having major problems with roland spd-sx with beatmaker 3. Everything works fine when I tried Spd-sx with Pro Tools on my macbook pro. Beatmaker doesnt recognize Spd-sx at all. Rolands usb-mode is set to audio/midi and i've installed latest usb-drivers etc. correctly. Also tried Novation launchkey with Beatmaker and no problems at all. Launchkey is shown on midi device list right away. Roland Spd-sx is the only hardware that doesnt work with beatmaker. Any help?
@brettdonis6754 жыл бұрын
TL PRODUCTIONS Are you using the Apple USB-Thunderbolt adapter? It’s essential that you’re using that. Check the “MIDI FOCUS ACTIONS” tab in the Beatmaker settings. Each pad will need an assignment from the SPD-SX. Check MIDI channel send from SPD-SX? Make sure Beatmaker pads are on a receiving MIDI channel. (Mine are channel 10).

lol record and loop real time my ass. how many minutes during my set should I plan for to stop performing and program all this? SPDSX is weak for live sampling the multi function come close but it still stops my previous recorded sample to record another one. Roland is falling behind fast compared to companies like Alesis. The strike pad combines the octpapad and sped in one. Like why the hell doesn't Roland rebased a product like that??? I need live live phrase looping, pad muting, internal memory for sampling, on board Roland drum samples like the octapad, Oh did I mention you can't play the spade like a if it was a drum set then loop your beat next measure? all samples you want to upload to device must be 16bit. So all my splice samples now how to be rendered then uploaded? Roland is the worst right now

The only thing worth a damn about the spdsx is hit start for a song, hit stop for a song. Or spend a while pre set to program each section into a pad. It's dumb. Don't but this device
