Features We Love:

Sampling

The choice is yours when it comes to the SPD::ONE WAV Pad. 12 separate samples can be loaded into the WAV and triggered as polyphonic or monophonic one shots, loops or as phrases. Phrases and loops work in the same way where one hit starts the sample and another stops it. A phrase sample can be anything you'd like but it's most commonly used for backing tracks, the WAV has storage for 360 minutes of stereo audio so there is more than enough room for use in long sets. Chaining a couple of songs together with segues is a common way to fit more songs into the 12 sample spaces.

In Your Kit

This SPD features a rugged single pad design and has been created to be used in a wide range of set ups. It can be played with your hands, sticks or even triggered with your foot. It's compact enough to fit into your set up in the same way a cowbell would, plus it can be run on batteries so you're never tied to a power outlet.

Click Tracks and Mix

Our favourite features of the WAV is its ability to chain a click track file with a backing track. These two audio samples can be linked via the appropriate file name, will only take up a single bank space and will trigger simultaneously. The click track will be sent straight to the headphone output only for the drummer to hear, while the backing track will be sent the main output for your audience as well as to the drummer's headphones. The drummer then has control over the blend between the backing and click tracks in their headphones by using the Mix knob.

Highlights:

• Compact size is easy to work into your setup
• Can be played with hands, feet and sticks
• Easy backing track triggering
