Roland’s most advanced triggering technology ensures the ultimate in accuracy and fully dynamic performance, while a large backlit LCD provides easy-to-read data in all varieties of environments. Each pad has a companion LED that illuminates to show the pad’s status. When you trigger sample phrases, the LEDs remain lit to show you which pads are in play and which are not. In addition, the LEDs change illumination strength according to audio-level activity (similar to level meters on a mixing board). The high-contrast red divider lines help you see the pad zones clearly onstage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImproved Playability and Functionality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, increasing numbers of drummers and percussionists need to incorporate audio samples into their performance.

A powerful-yet-friendly lineup of features has been built into this little powerhouse, such as Multi-Pad Sampling.
