Anybody own one of these? They look great and I'm wondering about the internal sounds, etc. Looks like a great addition to a set of V's - If you've got one how much did it cost and where did you get it? Thanks

I have an SPD-20 which is as far as I can tell basically the big brother to the SPD-6. It works great with the V's, I also use it to trigger my sampler too. I know there are a few more users here who use the SPD-20 and it's older sibling the SPD-11. Another alternative is the DrumKat which I also believe a few on this list own. The one drawback to the SPD-6 that has been pointed out is the lack of Midi In so you wouldn't be able to trigger the SPD-6 via Midi which may be a problem for people. I still wouldn't rule it out as a good addition to the V's but I would really try it out before hand and compare it to the other alternatives. Hope this helps.

I was a big fan and user from Roland Octapads. I used the Octapad II (PAD 80) for many years. It had awesome MIDI functions and you could even play 3 notes at one time (which allowed me to play simple chords - we have no keyboard player). The Octapads with built-in sounds (SPD 8/11/20) which came out later are a nice addition. However, they lack a lot of MIDI functions and inputs compared to the PAD 80. Now there is even a SPD-6 with 6 !!! (Roland forgot what an octave is) pads and 133 !!!! sounds. For the killer price of only $295? Come on !!!
Together with the red and blue pads, the expensive (probably stiff and breakable) cymbal pads and this SPD6 Roland defenitely drives meRobert

This brings the new Roland pad into a even more difficult position.

Well once again I don't get it, the Drumkat is about as easy a device to program as I've ever seen. Plus you can add all those layering, alternating, melodic modes to any other controller through one of it's midi in's. As for internal sounds, there's over 600 on the TD10 and 1200 on the TD8, all you have to do is use a midi cable, or is that difficult as well ?

Compare the price from the SPD-6 with a new SPD-11 or a second-hand 20 and ask what you get for you money...Robert

For me just the layout of the Katt is odd - the small areas, the shape, feel, etc... I owned one and never liked it and now they are out of business.
