Specialized features plus fresh rhythms, sounds, and effects!
The Roland HandSonic HPD-10 percussion controller is more affordable and streamlined than its big brother
the HPD-15 (441917 - see customer products box), yet it offers the same great pad response that made the original HandSonic
so popular, along with some sensational features and a fresh sound set.
New Sounds & Patterns
An all-new collection of sounds has been created for the HandSonic 10; approximately
400 high-quality instruments are onboard. All of the percussive essentials have been included — congas, bongos, tabla,
djembe, cajon, etc. — as well as melodic percussion, drum kit, special effects, and more.
Sensitive Surface
Whether
you're laying down the most delicate finger rolls or the sharpest slaps, the HandSonic 10's playing surface can handle anything
you give it. The comfortable round surface is divided into ten individual pads with pressure- and positional-sensitivity.
The popular D Beam is also included for dramatic triggering. Strike a virtual gong with your head, throw your fist into a
crash cymbal, wiggle your fingers over a perfect chime gliss — you get the picture.
Rhythm Coach
Flaunting
your chops on the stage or in the studio is the fun part, but behind the scenes it's practice that gets you the gigs in the
first place. For this purpose, Roland has equipped the HandSonic 10 with a Rhythm Coach. This virtual trainer
provides exercises to improve your timing, consistency, and endurance.
I/O Options
While the
HandSonic 10 is primarily a hand percussion instrument, users can add a Roland kick pad (optional) via the external trigger
input, or add a Roland V-Pad. The input is dual-trigger compatible for double the triggering power via an optional PCS-31L
Y-cable.
