RE: FS Roland SPD-6 MIDI Percussion controller w/sounds

Title: RE: FS Roland SPD-6 MIDI Percussion controller w/sounds

guys, this thing would be a great addition to any studio. I have an spd8 from about 13 years ago, and (even without it's built-in sounds) it's a fantastic controller, very flexible. lately we've been using it with the pads themselves mic'd; this adds a bit of "real" impact to the start of sampled percussion sounds, and is especially effective on tymps and snares.

What's that you say?  You can't mic your tablas well?  Your gong is 
feeding back?  Well, your troubles are over:

Bought to use in live situations, I never ended up using it much.  
Keyboard seems to be a better input device for me.  So here it goes.  
It has a bunch of drum and percussion sounds (I don't think it actually 
has a tabla) but where it shines is in triggering other devices.  Trust 
me, it's so much more dramatic hitting something with a stick than it 
is pressing a button or key.  Imagine how cool you'll be when your 
changing the pitch of your Repeater with a stick!  (or hand, I never 
used it in it's stick setting)
