Kicking off the first of several releases over the next few weeks, Roland has unveiled the SPD::ONE series of electronic percussion pads.
Designed for use by guitarists, singers, DJs and producers as well as drummers, the SPD::ONE pads come in four flavours: Electro, Kick, Percussion and WAV Pad.
All models use USB-MIDI for recording rhythms and triggering sounds, can be run from power supplies or batteries, and operate on tabletops or floors - they can be clamped to drum or mic stands using included mounting hardware, too.
There's no word on availability yet, but head on through the gallery for a closer look at each pad (with RRPs), and visit Roland for more info.
