The Reinvention Of The Octapad
The new Version 2 system upgrade expands the SPD-30's onboard kit and phrase libraries and add powerful new features and functions. Roland's original Octapad profoundly changed the landscape of electronic percussion. The size of a briefcase, the Octapad offered drummers and percussionists the equivalent of an entire electronic rig in one self-contained unit - a new level of convenience and expression. Today, decades later, an exciting new chapter in Octapad history begins. The SPD-30 blends the world's most essential sounds with the latest triggering technology in a road-tough package that's ready for the most demanding performers.

The number of kits has been increased from 50 to 99 (Version 2)
Forty-nine exciting new kits have been added to the OCTAPAD for even more creative possibilities. Use the OCTAPAD as a compact drum set, play dynamic orchestral percussion or explore traditional world percussion and melodic instruments from India, the Middle East, Africa, China and Latin America. You can back up your own original OCTAPAD SPD-30 kit data and import it into Version 2.

Controllable Phrase Loop function with 50 preset phrases (Version 2)
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 on your USB Memory. With Version 2, you can control the start of Phrase Loop using pad velocity, buttons presses, and/or a footswitch (optional). Additionally, you can toggle freely between solo play (Kit mode) and phrase play (Phrase Loop mode). Nineteen new phrases have been added to the onboard library, which adds exciting performance and recording possibilities.

Useful Kit Chains for live performance (Version 2)
There are eight banks of Kit Chains onboard conveniently organized into musical style and instrument categories. Select from Drum Kits, Percussion, Orchestra Perc, Club Sounds, Melodic Perc, Melodic Synth, Sound Effects and Expanded Kits. Use the Chains as is or easily edit them to best suit your live-performance needs.

Output Gain Function (Version 2)
A new Output Gain function has been added to increase the overall output of the OCTAPAD SPD-30. It provides a +6 dB boost when a stronger signal is needed.

Sound Edit
Unlike the original Octapad PAD-8, which was strictly a MIDI controller, the Octapad SPD-30 is a controller that's packed with its own internal bank of sounds. You can customize the sounds with the onboard controls for tuning, muffling, attack, pitch sweep and more. It's like having a truckload of customizable drum and percussion instruments in one portable package.

Multi-Effects
Based on Roland's world-leading effects technology, the SPD-30's 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.

Advanced Triggering Technology
The SPD-30 benefits from Roland's 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 Roland's RT series.

- Kick Trigger Pedal -

Innovative Beaterless Kick Pedal For Ultra-quiet Night Practice At Home On Electronic Drums
Practicing drums at home can feel like an uphill battle. You've got an electronic kit. You're using headphones. But still there's a problem: the sound of the kick pedal mechanism each time you depress it and the audible thud of the beater as it strikes the kick pad. Roland's new KT-9 Kick Trigger Pedal is the answer. Designed for ultra-quiet home practice, the KT-9 features a beaterless design and a patent-pending link mechanism, resulting in a dramatic reduction in noise when played, without compromising the pedal's feel or the playability. With the KT-9 under your foot, you can go as hard as you like, as late as you want.

Play When It Suits You with Ultra-Quiet Link Mechanism and Beaterless Design
Electronic drum kits are far quieter than acoustic kits, but there's still an audible sound when you depress a standard kick pedal and another when the beater hits the kick pad. If quiet practice sessions are a priority, the KT-9 is a must, with its beaterless design and newly developed link mechanism giving a marked reduction in operational noise (85% less in your practice space and 63% less to rooms below, compared to the Roland KD-9 beater-equipped kick pedal). The KT-9 works even better alongside the low-noise mesh heads featured on Roland V-Drums, plus our NE-10 Noise Eater Isolation Boards and NE-1 Isolation Feet.

Compact Beaterless Design Fits into Your Studio & Stage Setup
You've set up your kit to suit you and with its compact beaterless design, the KT-9 fits right in, taking up a minimal footprint and leaving room for all your favorite percussion gear. Quick to set up and compatible with any V-Drums sound modules featuring 1/4-inch trigger inputs, the KT-9 is the ideal addition to your electronic kit, bringing professional kick pedal feel to a low-noise practice scenario.

Allows Advanced Techniques and Supports Your Drumming Style
Whether you're practicing at home or playing out, it's important to have a kick pedal that picks up all the subtleties of your drumming style. The KT-9 is a great choice for expressive players. The unit's feet ensure total stability, letting you work the pedal as hard or soft as you like (with the sound module picking up every nuance). With a familiar toe-stopper to set your foot position, the KT-9's smooth pedal mechanism delivers authentic kick feel. It's your ticket to an energetic drum practice - that won't disturb the neighbors.

Create the Ultimate Percussion Setup with Connectivity to Roland Gear
As your percussion setup evolves, you need a kick pedal that can keep up. Designed for open-ended flexibility, the KT-9 is compatible with Roland's full range of electronic percussion gear, from the OCTAPAD SPD-30 to the HandSonic HPD-20. It's the compact, ultra-quiet kick pedal that does it all.

- Hi-Hat Control Pedal -

Innovative Hi-hat Pedal For Ultra-quiet Night Practice At Home On Electronic Drums
Playing drums at home can be a headache. Traditional acoustic shells are impractical for late-night practice, while many electronic kits are disruptive (even with headphones), due to the sound of the pedals in operation. Roland's new FD-9 hi-hat controller pedal is the smart way to drive down decibels. Designed for ultra-quiet home practice, the unit's patent-pending link mechanism means dramatic noise reduction when the pedal is depressed. Expressive players will also appreciate this compact pedal's authentic hi-hat feel, with smooth transitions between open/closed/half-open positions. With the Roland FD-9, you can play as hard as you like, as late as you want.

Practice Whenever You Like With Ultra-Quiet Link Mechanism
Even when you're drumming with headphones, the sound made each time you depress a standard hi-hat pedal is sure to disturb anyone near your practice space. The FD-9 is the solution, with a newly developed link mechanism that gives a marked reduction in operational noise (50% less in your practice space and 15% less to rooms below, compared with a standard FD-8 Hi-Hat Controller). For drummers who really need to keep it down, the FD-9 works even better alongside the low-noise mesh heads featured on Roland V-Drums, ultra-quiet KT-9 Kick Trigger Pedal, plus our NE-10 Noise Eater Isolation Boards and NE-1 Isolation Feet.

Compact All-In-One Design That Fits Into Your Setup
The FD-9 is designed to make home practice as easy as possible. As well as being our quietest hi-hat pedal yet, the compact and lightweight unit is compatible with any V-Drums sound modules featuring 1/4-inch trigger inputs. It's the ideal addition to your electronic kit - and your ticket to professional performance in a practice scenario.

Allows Advanced Techniques and Supports Your Drumming Style
Whether you're practicing at home or playing out, it's important to have a hi-hat pedal that picks up all the subtleties of your drumming style. The FD-9 is a great choice for expressive players. The unit's feet ensure total stability, letting you work the pedal as hard or soft as you like (with the sound module picking up every nuance). The toe-stopper is a familiar touch carried over from acoustic pedals, while the FD-9's smooth open/closed/half-open operation delivers authentic hi-hat feel. You can even pull off aggressive moves like hi-hat splashes - without disturbing the neighbors.

- Pad Stand -

Solid Percussion-controller Support
Along with the debut of the Roland HandSonic 10 comes a new double-braced support stand: the PDS-10. It's the successor to the PDS-15 and features a newly improved angle clamp that provides 200 degrees of tilt. The stand is designed to be used with Roland's HPD-, SPD-, VG- and VB-series instruments, which include the HandSonic 10, HandSonic 15, SPD-20, SPD-S, VG-99 and VB-99.
