The Roland SPD-1W Wav is a digital percussion pad that allows any musician to add electronic sounds to their performances. This pad contains space to record 12 individual pieces of WAV data at a capacity of 4GB, or approximately 360 minutes (in stereo). Whether you need full-length backing tracks or one-shot samples, your sounds can be dragged and dropped onto this pad and played in seconds.
The SPD-1W Wav is robust, yet sensitive and can be played with sticks, hands, or feet, and the trigger threshold settings can be easily adjusted using intuitive controls. Using just four knobs on the control panel, you can change the sound, volume, balance and more with ease. You can adjust sensitivity and trigger threshold settings in seconds using two control dials on the side of the unit. Thanks to its built-in USB-MIDI support, the SPD-1W Wav can be used as a compact digital pad controller for a computer DAW.
With the included mounting adapter, you can easily clamp the pad to a hi-hat, cymbal, or tom stand or even a mic stand. Alternatively you can play the SPD-1W Wav by simply placing it on the floor, a tabletop, or any solid surface. Lightweight enough to be dropped into a bag or instrument case, this pad is robust enough for travel thanks to a metal construction.
