By far one of the best how-to videos for the Roland SPD-SX! Tom is very clear and provides key tips to save you a lot of time. Moreover, these tips will prevent chaos at a live gig! Keep them coming Tom, great job!!
Hello! Good video! I have drum samples in 48000hz which are part of a song... i see the roland does not accept 48khz... will the drums change pitch or duration if i trasnform them to 44khz before uploading them to the roland? If so, what do i need to do to have it playing them right? Thanks
Hello, Thanks a lot :) Sadly I'm not sure as this is more of a DAW question. I think when you convert the sample rate when the track is already in the DAW it won't affect the speed/pitch.
I think it is weird that you can only PAD LINK two pads together in a Kit. I'd like to PAD LINK 1 and 2; but also PAD link 4 and 5. I like to route PADS 1 and 4 (which have click) to the sub outs and route PADS 2 and 5 (which have just music) to FOH. But, I can't do that as only 1 pad link (of 2 pads) seem to be possible in a single kit. Any thoughts?
Hey Tom great video and really helpfull, how do you add cues in spd sx and where can i find it, this would be great if you can help me out in this since i play drums for a small church
Just a question apologies if you have answered this in the past, but can you split vocal parts from a track to then add to the SPD-SX? I was looking to add some sample vocals from a track to play along live. Might save having a vocalist!
Hello, yes you can totally do this if you have the stem files. Just make sure you bounce/convert them to a WAV before trying to put them on the SPD :-)
Nice video man! I only have one question: How did you get the click track to go in your ears and not to the front of house? I know there is a sub out possibility on the spds- sx but it seemed like your click was together with your backing track on the same wave file? And then the audience will here the click, right?
Hi Anders, you have to pan the click in your DAW (such as Logic) to make sure the audience don't hear it. For example, I pan the click hard left, then the backing track that the audience will hear to the right. You then give the sound guy a feed from the right output and either plug your in ears directly into the headphone port of the module, or plug the left output into your onstage mix. I hope that makes sense! :-)

Hi Dave, sorry but I've never used the Pad Link function so I'm not able to help on this occasion :-/ Good Luck!!

Hi Lloyd, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I'm not sure what you mean about cues? Could you explain more please? :-)
DrumWise Drum Tuition I mean drum patches or sample so I can play it live
Thanks! That makes sense!

PLEASE CUT DOWN THE BACK GROUND MUSIC SO WE CAN HEAR THE INSTRUCTIONS AND THE SAMPLE OR LOOP BETTER... GOOD GRIEF!!!
CAPS LOCK!!!!! Yes, I agree the music is a bit loud but it does come down in volume where the samples are played....
