In the new version of the popular and already legendary Hand Percussion Pad from Roland, the Hand Sonic HPD-20, all of the proven functions of the processor were combined and were further developed and perfected. The result is a performance that is unmatchable for a Digital Percussion Pad.
850 percussion sounds from all around the world and music styles are included as standard, complemented by additional sounds that can be imported to the HPD-20 via USB. The 13 integrated silicone pads are very sensitive in the address and provide natural play feeling. Up to 12 minutes of sample memory offers enough time to import and edit whole loops and longer samples into kits, which gives the HPD-20 infinite sound variety. 100 preset kits come preprogrammed, and the set can be expanded even further with possibility of connection an additional Roland pan and a HiHat.
The preinstalled tools that come standard with the hand Percussion Pad HPD-20 allows the users to easily create their own sounds. Pitch, Delay and Volume, to name just a few, can be adjusted for each individual instrument in the User Kit Editing. Thanks to the Real-Time Modify button, the sound can be changed and edited while playing. An impressive and flexible performance is guaranteed.
Ive been using the hpd20 for 2 weeks, and Im impressed! I also own the hpd15, which Ive been using as a full drumset with a roland hihat/kick combo in small gigs, and as a percussion instrument in large outdoor concerts! Bottomline, the hpd20 has better feel, softer rubber pads which should help if played on long concerts, and quite realistic sounds. You can also use your own sounds by loading them on a usb stick. The only minus is that roland hasnt provided a means to do that directly from the PC via usb. A sound management application for it would have helped a lot. I guess they will present this feature in the upcoming hpd25.
