Sound Bank:
- Unlike the original Octapad PAD-8, which was strictly a MIDI controller, the Octapad SPD-30 is a controller thats packed with its own internal bank of sounds. Fifty kits are built into the SPD-30 - essential sounds that span a musical universe of styles. You can customize the sounds with the onboard controls for tuning, muffling, attack, pitch sweep, and more. Its like having a truckload of customizable drum and percussion instruments in one portable package.

Multi-Effects:
- Based on Rolands world-leading effects technology, the SPD-30s multi-effects engine will take your performances to another level. There are 30 types of internal multi-effects onboard, plus EQ, limiter, and seven Ambience types.

Phrase Loop Function:
- The onboard Phrase Loop function lets you instantly create layered loops and phrases. You can record and store 50 phrases internally, with each containing up to three layers. You can also save your phrase data to optional USB memory.

Advanced Triggering Technology:
- The Octapad SPD-30 benefits from Rolands most advanced V-Drum triggering technology. Each pad is a separate, isolated unit, providing the ultimate in sensitivity with complete crosstalk rejection. In addition, you can connect four dual-trigger inputs plus a hi-hat controller (compatible with Roland FD-8, VH-11) to create a mini drum set with external pads (Roland KD / PD / PDX / CY series), as well as to accept triggers from acoustic drums through Rolands RT series.
