I'm no stranger to tweaking the sensitivity settings in Battery, but somehow this doesn't give me a reliable response from the Octapad. Wondering if its a question of compatibility between the Octapad and Battery 4, and whether there's a VST better suited for this? Mainly in terms of how things are mapped out for velocity response and overall sensitivity. At first I thought the difference might be due to DAW latency, but I tested for this by running the audio output of the SPD-30 into the actual DAW and the feel was still there. Somehow this responsiveness is not translating when playing via midi. Just as I was getting used to the assumption that this is simply the world of electronic drums, for some random reason I decided to try playing the internal sounds on the SPD-30 with a pair of headphones and lo and behold, the thing is INCREDIBLY musical and responsive!! You can't get too intricate with your playing.
(See Roland’s Acoustic Drum Triggers and the vast array of drum pads. I've been triggering samples with NI Battery 4 and an Octapad, and though you can get some basic things done, the setup doesn't respond in the most musical way. The SPD-30 is a percussion pad with on-board sounds and phrase loop technology (sounds cannot be imported for sampling like the SPD-SX.) Another difference is that you can trigger up to four external sound sources on the SPD-30, or trigger two external sources on the SPD-SX. Does anyone know if there are VSTs that respond better to playing/triggering sounds from an Roland Octapad (SPD-30) than others?
Great collection with a professional demonstration! This makes me download all of these synths The Trancedrive and Superwave are outstanding, but Pterosaur is wonderful as well.
Drummers can also put Roland's RT series triggers on their acoustic drum heads and blur the line between their electronic and acoustic kits.Effect Bundle Complete 2019: Fog Convolver v1.5.1, Frostbite v1.5.1, Megaphone v1.5, miniVerb v1.0, OuterSpace v1.2.1 – Roland RE-201 Space Echo emulation, Phase Motion v2.0, Reels v1.1, Space Strip v1.0.1, Speaker v1.5, Springs v1.0, The Orb v1.1, Type-A v1.1, Valve Exciter v1.5.2, Valve Filter VF-1 v1.5.2, Vinyl Strip v1.1.5, WaveBox v1.0 AudioThing 2019.5 rev2 64-bit (VST, VST3, AAX) Windows 7 (SP1), 8 an 10 Instructions: Attached Easy Installation Direct Download (520…Ģ thoughts on “ 5 Free VST emulations of Roland JP-8000: supersaw!!!

The four extra trigger inputs include a dedicated hi-hat controller, so the OCTAPAD SPD-30 can be used as a full drum kit. An additional USB port is included to back-up your work. It can also be connected to a computer via USB to control software-based instruments. The SPD-30 also can control traditional sound modules and other instruments with its MIDI I/O interface. Synthesizers, basses, and other instruments and samples are included in the internal sounds, so you can really build up entire songs. You can assign multiple drum sounds to each pad to create deep and complex sounds. The phase looping functionality allows you to create and layer up to 3 loops, using 3 different drum sets. There are a total of 670 instruments, with a massive 80 note polyphony. The internal sounds offer you 50 different drum kits covering a wide range of percussion styles. It has 8 isolated drum pads that utilize Roland's advanced V-Drum technology, and the ability to expand with inputs for four pads, triggers, and pedals.
The OCTAPAD SPD-30 from Roland is a digital percussion instrument with built-in sounds and effects, a phrase looping functionality, and the ability to control external MIDI devices and software instruments via USB connectivity.
