I'm after a nice drum pad to create some alive beats, instead of using my Analog Elektron Rytm (will probably mix them but up in songs) so the acoustical part of the drums is important. So I would love to get your opinions on this, I just wanted to share my opinions first.
#Roland spd 30 vs forum how to
I found 99 kits, and I never found out how to change the sounds of them so I'm not sure how many sounds are available or their quality, but could give it another go before I buy one of course.
#Roland spd 30 vs forum manual
I never checked the manual before I went there and played it (stupid.) but I usually figure things out fast, on the Octapad I only figured out how to change kit, thought I'd give phrase-looping/sampling a go but I never managed to get it to start, felt like I tried all buttons but maybe it was a combination of them, actually I don't think anything did change as a I pressed those buttons. What striked me when I walked into the room with the Octapad was it's build quality, it really looks well built, salesmen told me it had been sitting there for like 4 months now and sure it looked a bit worn but still classy, tried it out for 20 minutes and it was pure joy hitting those pads, they were so lush and creamy (if you can describe a pad like that), but the sounds (the sounds that was setup in those 99 kits) I heard I wasn't super impressed with, and the thought that the sounds was permanent kind of scared me. The Octapad was sitting on a wall, just slightly too high and a bit of an awkward angle for someone with my height (15' / 180 cm) due to some junk standing in the way (no way to really relax while playing, maybe you'd hit that $2500 module.). And the salesmen told me that Yamaha doesn't leave much room for selling it cheaper than that. Also was not fond of the somewhat cheap "consumer"-plastic look, (yeah it affects my creativity and playing) and of course the interface that seems to suck on every of these devices, though I learnt the most basic stuff rather easy on this one.īut I still like the DTX Multi 12, it feels slightly more price worty than other but still not worth $500, rather $350. What I did not like about the DTX Multi 12 was that the pads did not seem to trigger at all out in the corners which means I have to hit the pads right otherwise there's no sound, unless I was just being really careful. I really like the fact that the Yamaha has an iPad app, is it still being updated? I've got an old iPad laying around but I'm getting upset if I can't use it for some stupid reason.Īlso felt the pads wasn't as horrible as some has mentioned not at all as magical as Roland's but it did not affect my playing ability Though when I tried it out, it wasn't that big of a difference between the Roland SPD-30 and the Yamaha's form factor but it could be that the DTX Multi 12 was laying on a flat surface and therefore I wasn't able to hit the pads with the precision I thought I would have, worth mentioning I was standing.
Roland SPD-30 Octapad is listed as $725 to $890 ( to 7 900 :- Swedish Kronor), both are rather expensive and rare on the second hand market even though they show up here sometimes, I've decided to buy new this time though.įor me the Yamaha DTX Multi 12's form factor looks a bit better, it feels like it would be easier to hit all the pads for a beginner like me, (had like 15 drum lessons in 6 months). To buy a Yamaha DTX Multi-12 only itself would cost $500 - $550Īnd to buy a Yamaha DTX Multi-12 with a Yamaha PS940 stand (seen in the and pictures and video) would cost approximately $750 (6 500 :- Swedish Kronor). It also probably goes without saying that it needs to not be a maintenance nightmare like the original supposedly is, with regard to tuning.If I was buying a drumpad tomorrow would it make more sense to buy a Yamaha DTX Multi 12 or a Roland SPD-30 Octapad? What would be your highest priority feature on such a product? For me it would be dual filter types (SEM and Curtis) with 2/4 pole on the Curtis.
How many voices would you need? I would want 8, with the ability to limit to lower polyphony count, and also the ability to split.ģ.
I think I'd be more than content with a module for an OBX/a, particularly due to space requirements in my studio room.Ģ. The P10 is different in my mind, because the lovely walnut box adds to the experience. If offered in both original form factor keyboard and desktop, would you get the keyboard? I think the original needed to be huge in order to cope with heat issues and there aren't enough knobs to justify the size these days.
