SPD-SX-SE Percussion Sampling Pad Special Edition

Imagine hitting a pad to instantly capture a loop from your drum kit or a crowd cheer, turning live moments into playable samples on the spot. That's the magic at the heart of this special edition sampling pad, with its striking red metallic finish that stands out under stage lights.

Nine velocity-sensitive rubber pads deliver responsive, dynamic playability, backed by 20-voice polyphony for layering sounds without dropout. Its 16GB internal memory holds up to 50 hours of mono samples at 16-bit/44.1kHz quality, loaded via USB or live-sampled through dual 1/4" audio inputs. Real-time control comes easy with two knobs and four effect buttons for the three multi-effects engines—one master and two kit-assignable—plus a large backlit LCD for quick navigation. Connectivity shines with stereo main outs, dual sub outs, headphone jack, two dual-trigger inputs, footswitch input, and full USB audio/MIDI integration for computer workflows. At just 5 lbs 9 oz and compact 3.75 x 14.37 x 13.06 inches, it slots perfectly into any acoustic kit, electronic rig, or percussion setup.

Drummers love how the LED pad indicators pulse with audio levels and status, making live performance intuitive even in dim venues, while the Multi-Pad Sampling and Wave Manager software streamline prep. A few note the rubber pads wear faster under heavy touring, but most praise its reliability for expanding kits without complexity.
