Main Features
A Sampler with Pads Perfect for Drummers and Percussionists
Nine pads housed in a compact body (p. 15)
The SPD-S offers nine playing surfaces: six pads with excellent responsiveness and feel, and three edge triggers that are easy to hit
with the shoulder of a stick—all within a compact body that can easily be installed as part of a drum or percussion set.
Easy operation for sampling (p. 25, p. 52)
As a simple sampler freeing you from complicated operation, the SPD-S allows you to readily sample percussion sounds and
phrases to use them in your performance.
Preset sounds that can be used as soon as you unpack the unit (p. 133, p. 134)
The SPD-S comes with preset sounds including percussion sounds, drum sounds, sound effects, and phrase loops.
A wide array of sampling modes (p. 52, p. 58)
The SPD-S supports three sampling modes suited to different sound qualities and phrase lengths: FINE for CD quality sampling,
STANDARD, and LONG. With a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz, it also supports stereo sampling. An approximate maximum of
twelve minutes of sound can be stored in the internal memory (in mono in the LONG mode).
Handy Phrase Maker function (p. 63)
The SPD-S has a Phrase Maker function that records a performance made with pads and resamples it to convert it to a wave. It
enables you to create an original phrase.
Producing Highly Expressive Sounds
Two different sounds from a single playing surface (p. 30, p. 34)
On the SPD-S, you can assign two waves to a single playing surface. The two waves can be switched using strike intensity or with
foot switches.
Thirty effect algorithms (p. 92) plus ambience effects (p. 76)
The SPD-S includes 30 effect algorithms that process sampled sounds and ambience effects that produce natural sounds.
In addition, the effect parameters can be controlled in real time with the control knob or separately sold expression pedals.
