Roland HPD-15 HandSonic Percussion Controller
Item Description
Roland HPD-15 HandSonic Percussion Controller in very good condition. There is some wear from normal use, excellent operating condition.  Includes manual on CD and power supply.The Handsonic boasts more than 500 drum, percussion and melodic sounds, built-in effects, a sequencer, inputs for kick and hi-hat pedals and MIDI. The touch-sensitive playing surface is based on that of Roland's V-Drums and offers features such as positional sensing to alter the timbre according to where you strike the pad surface. It also means you can damp sounds by touching pads or bend sounds by pressing down harder -- techniques which are all part of the art of playing many percussion instruments. There is also the luxury of two ribbon controllers, a D-Beam controller and a trio of knobs for extra real-time manipulation of sounds.The Handsonic offers 80 user patch locations to store your custom sound sets. Although visually rather a mess, the design of the control panel does prove easy to work with -- and I imagine it would still be so even if you were having to fumble your way around the knobs and switches on a darkened stage. All the switches light when active, while a target-shaped display shows which main pad is being triggered or is selected for editing. The smaller pads each have an associated LED which fulfils the same purpose. A fan-shaped arrangement of LEDs on the right indicates the currently selected sound Group, with the Patch name also appearing in the central LCD display in the middle of the control panel. However, I did find that leaning over to look at the display often inadvertently triggered the D-Beam controller!Assembling your own patches is a breeze, thanks to the two-tier editing system: EZ Edit gives you access just to the main parameters such as Volume, Pan, and Effects send, while Edit gives you complex control over how sounds and pads interact dynamically. For example, hitting one pad can mute or bend the sound assigned to another, or control various sound parameters such as resonance, colour or LFO rate. The Handsonic is akin to a synth equipped with a comprehensive modulation matrix and, once you've got your mind round it, you can use it to either make instruments behave in a more realistic and natural fashion, or go for out-and-out wackiness.The HPD15's onboard sequencer offers 99 preset patterns which, like the sounds themselves, trot the globe in terms of musical style. The quality of programming is first-rate -- not only are they great as a practice aid, they also open your mind to new styles. Each pattern consists of four parts -- two percussion and two melodic lines, so once you've learned the intricacies of seven-beat clay-pot rhythms you can mute the pre-recorded percussion and play along to the bass and melody. The sequencer makes use of another 54 'backing' sounds, and these are also at your disposal when recording your own sequences.Key Features- Electronic hand percussion pad with triggering based on V-drums technology
