INTRODUCTION TO THE ROLAND SPD-30 OCTAPAD

The SPD-30 Octapad is the latest digital percussion multi-pad from Roland using the most up-to-date triggering technology and sounds. It has come a very long way since the first octapad – the Pad-8 introduced in 1985 as a MIDI percussion controller. In 1989 they introduced the second model – the Pad-80 Octapad II which had a larger memory that could store up to 64 different patches with 64 patches on a Roland M-256E memory card. Further improvements to the MIDI specification included the control of modulation, pitch bend and aftertouch using a foot pedal. They then went on to release their SPD range which were very similar to the Octapads but had on board sounds and effects.
