At Roland, we understand that every musician is unique, and their instruments need to complement their creativity and performance style. The SPD One Wav Pad is designed to give you the freedom to play the way you want to. This compact digital percussion pad can be played with drumsticks, hands, or even your feet, allowing you to express yourself naturally.

Adjusting sensitivity and trigger threshold settings is a breeze with the two control dials conveniently located on the side of the unit. Whether you’re a drummer, percussionist, guitarist, DJ, or vocalist, the SPD One Wav Pad is the perfect tool to enhance your performances, ensuring that sore palms and fingers are a thing of the past.

Import Entire Songs, Backing Tracks, and Clicks

The possibilities are endless with the SPD One Wav Pad. It allows you to import and play WAV audio files, opening up a world of creative opportunities. Whether it’s full-length backing tracks, vocal phrases, drum sounds, or musical sequences, if you can record it, you can load it into the WAV PAD and play it.

Importing audio is as simple as connecting the unit to your computer via USB and dragging and dropping your files. The SPD One Wav Pad offers various playback options, including polyphonic, monophonic, or alternate, allowing you to trigger your samples in different ways. Say goodbye to limitations and bring your own sounds to the stage with ease.

Stay in Sync: Play Click Tracks Simultaneously with Backing Tracks

Playing with backing tracks adds a new level of production value to your live performances. With the SPD One Wav Pad, you can seamlessly incorporate studio-quality backing tracks into your gigs. To stay in perfect time with your backing track, a click track is essential. The SPD One Wav Pad has you covered.

It allows you to import audio click tracks created in your DAW and play them simultaneously with your backing tracks. But here’s the clever part—the backing track can be heard via the main and headphones outputs, while the click track is automatically routed to the headphones only for stage monitoring. Adjust the balance mix between the backing and click tracks using the dedicated Balance Mix knob. Even on loud stages, the headphones output ensures you hear every beat clearly.

Layer Your Sounds and Customize Your Performance

While the SPD One Wav Pad offers simplicity, it also delivers incredible versatility. With the ability to layer up to three audio files, a single hit can produce three distinct sounds simultaneously. Imagine combining a deep 808 kick sound, a hand clap, and a vocal phrase in a single performance.

The unique layering function opens up endless creative possibilities. Additionally, different sounds can be triggered by varying velocities. For example, with hi-hat sounds, a gentle strike can trigger a closed hi-hat, while a harder hit can produce an open hi-hat. The SPD One Wav Pad allows you to craft dynamic and expressive performances with ease.

Seamless Integration into Your Setup

The compact design of the SPD One Wav Pad ensures that it effortlessly fits into your existing instrument setup without the need to rearrange your gear. The included mounting adapter allows you to easily clamp the pad to a hi-hat, cymbal, or tom stand, or even a mic stand. Alternatively, you can simply place the WAV PAD on the floor, a tabletop, or any solid surface for a convenient and portable setup.

Built to Go Anywhere, Anytime

With its compact size and battery operation, the SPD One Wav Pad is ready to go wherever your music takes you. Its lightweight construction allows you to drop it into your bag or instrument case without any hassle. The robust metal body ensures durability, making it the perfect companion for the road.

Whether you’re rehearsing, performing, or producing on the move, you can rely on the WAV PAD to deliver exceptional sound quality. Take your creativity to new heights and include your custom sounds in your setlist for a truly unique and captivating performance.
