Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to share
an outlet with an unreasonable number of other
devices. Be especially careful when using extension
cords—the total power used by all devices you
have connected to the extension cord’s outlet must
never exceed the power rating (watts/amperes) for
the extension cord. Excessive loads can cause the
insulation on the cord to heat up and eventually
melt through.

IMPORTANT NOTES
291a
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT
SAFELY” on page 2–3, please read and observe the
following:
Maintenance
401a
•
For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth
or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To
remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild,
non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the
unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
Power Supply
•
301 Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any
device that will generate line noise (such as an electric
motor or variable lighting system).
•
402 Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or defor-
mation.
•
302 The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long
hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause
for concern.
Repairs and Data
•
•
307 Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the
power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions
and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
452 Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s
memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs.
Important data should always be backed up on a Compact-
Flash card, or written down on paper (when possible).
During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data.
However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to
memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be
possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no
liability concerning such loss of data.
Placement
•
351 Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment
containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To
alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or
move it farther away from the source of interference.
352a
•
This device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such
receivers.
Additional Precautions
•
551 Please be aware that the contents of memory can be
352b
•
irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the
improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against
the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you
periodically save a backup copy of important data you
have stored in the unit’s memory on a CompactFlash card.
Noise may be produced if wireless communications
devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of
this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initi-
ating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience
such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices
so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch
them off.
•
552 Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents
of data that was stored in the unit’s memory, a Compact-
Flash card, or another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer) once
it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability
concerning such loss of data.
354a
•
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near
devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed
vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes.
Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
•
553 Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s
355b
•
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks
and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
When moved from one location to another where the
temperature and/or humidity is very different, water
droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage
or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in
this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must
allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation
has completely evaporated.
•
554 Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
•
556 When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will
avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal
elements.

note to the following.
• To prevent damage to the cards from static electricity,
be sure to discharge any static electricity from your
own body before handling the cards.
558d
•
This instrument is designed to minimize the extraneous
sounds produced when it’s played. However, since sound
vibrations can be transmitted through floors and walls to a
greater degree than expected, take care not to allow these
sounds to become a nuisance to neighbors, especially when
performing at night and when using headphones.
• Do not touch or allow metal to come into contact with
the contact portion of the cards.
• Do not bend, drop, or subject cards to strong shock or
vibration.
• Do not keep cards in direct sunlight, in closed vehicles,
or other such locations (storage temperature: -25˚C–

some other make of connection cable, please note the
following precautions.
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use
cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this
unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to
be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For infor-
mation on cable specifications, contact the manufac-
turer of the cable.

Main Features
A Sampler with Pads Perfect for Drummers and Percussionists
The SPD-S offers nine playing surfaces: six pads with excellent responsiveness and feel, and three edge triggers that are easy to hit
with the shoulder of a stick—all within a compact body that can easily be installed as part of a drum or percussion set.
Easy operation for sampling (p. 25, p. 52)
As a simple sampler freeing you from complicated operation, the SPD-S allows you to readily sample percussion sounds and
phrases to use them in your performance.
Preset sounds that can be used as soon as you unpack the unit (p. 133, p. 134)
The SPD-S comes with preset sounds including percussion sounds, drum sounds, sound effects, and phrase loops.
A wide array of sampling modes (p. 52, p. 58)
STANDARD, and LONG. With a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz, it also supports stereo sampling. An approximate maximum of
twelve minutes of sound can be stored in the internal memory (in mono in the LONG mode).
Handy Phrase Maker function (p. 63)
The SPD-S has a Phrase Maker function that records a performance made with pads and resamples it to convert it to a wave. It
enables you to create an original phrase.
Producing Highly Expressive Sounds
On the SPD-S, you can assign two waves to a single playing surface. The two waves can be switched using strike intensity or with
foot switches.
Thirty effect algorithms (p. 92) plus ambience effects (p. 76)
The SPD-S includes 30 effect algorithms that process sampled sounds and ambience effects that produce natural sounds.
In addition, the effect parameters can be controlled in real time with the control knob or separately sold expression pedals.

Main Features
Readily Expandable
Support for CompactFlash (p. 67)
Using CompactFlash, the recordable time dramatically increases. The number of recordable sounds also increases to 500. The
SPD-S supports import and export of WAV/AIFF files through CompactFlash cards.
Connections with external pads, foot switches, etc. (p. 16, p. 20, p. 79, p. 80)
The SPD-S is equipped with connectors for external pads and other accessories. These allow you to connect conventional pads,
cymbals, kick triggers, acoustic drum triggers, etc. (two can be connected at once; requires use of optional PCS-31).
The SPD-S also comes with foot switch jacks. Foot switches can be assigned a broad variety of functions. For instance, they can be
used to switch patches, enable/disable the effects, or toggle between two waves.

Mounting on a Stand
To mount the SPD-S on a cymbal stand or other type of stand, use a separately sold APC-33 all-purpose clamp set to attach the
stand holder. It can be attached to a pipe with a diameter of 10.5 to 30 mm.
Using a 4 mm wrench included with the all-purpose clamp (APC-33), remove the four screws from the SPD-S's bottom panel.
Use these removed screws to attach the stand holder of the APC-33 to the bottom panel of the SPD-S.
Do not use the screws included with the APC-33.
When turning the unit upside-down, get a bunch of newspapers or magazines, and place them under the four corners or at both
ends to prevent damage to the buttons and controls. Also, you should try to orient the unit so no buttons or controls get damaged.
When turning the unit upside-down, handle with care to avoid dropping it, or allowing it to fall or tip over.
Make sure that the stand is installed in an appropriate place to ensure stability.
Do not mount the SPD-S on any stand that is insufficiently robust.

Turning On/Off the Power
Turning On the Power
Once the connections have been completed (p. 20), turn on power to your various devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong
order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other devices.
z
1. Turn the VOLUME knob completely to the left to lower the volume to the minimum level.
2. Turn down the volume control on the connected amp or audio system.
3. Press the POWER button to turn on the power to the SPD-S.
This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after power up is required before the unit will operate normally.
If you hit a pad when powering the unit on, the SPD-S produces poor responses to weak strikes.
4. Turn on the power to the connected amp or audio system.
5. Strike pads, and while listening to the sound, gradually bring up the VOLUME knob to adjust the volume
level.
Also raise the volume level of the connected amp or audio system to the appropriate level.
Turning Off the Power after the Shutdown Operation
Before turning off the power to the SPD-S, make sure to shut the unit down. Turning off the power before the shutdown operation is finished may
corrupt the data in the internal memory or the memory card.
1. Select patch mode or wave mode.
Press [PATCH] to select patch mode, or press [WAVE] to select wave mode.
2. Hold down [SHIFT] and press [CARD] for about two seconds to start the shutdown operation.
While the shutdown operation is in progress, a “shutdown..” indication is displayed. A “shutdown.. OK!” indication appears
when the shutdown operation is complete. Then you can turn off the power safely.
After a “shutdown.. OK!” indication appears, press [PATCH] to return to patch mode, or press [WAVE] to return to wave mode.
3. Turn down the volume level of the SPD-S and the external devices connected to the SPD-S.

(CompactFlash)
Inserting a Memory Card
1. Open the card slot cover on the left side of the SPD-S, and insert a memory card.
A memory card can be inserted when either SPD-S’s power is on or off.
Carefully insert the CompactFlash all the way in-until it is firmly in place.
Removing a Memory Card after the Shutdown Operation
While the SPD-S’s power is on, make sure to take the shutdown operation before removing a memory card (CompactFlash). Removing it before
the shutdown operation is finished may corrupt the data in the internal memory or the memory card.
1. Select patch mode or wave mode.
Press [PATCH] to select patch mode, or press [WAVE] to select wave mode.
2. Hold down [SHIFT] and press [CARD] for about two seconds to start the shutdown operation.
While the shutdown operation is in progress, a “shutdown..” indication is displayed. A “shutdown.. OK!” indication appears
when the shutdown operation is complete. Then you can remove the memory card safely.
After a “shutdown.. OK!” indication appears, press [PATCH] to return to patch mode, or press [WAVE] to return to wave mode.
After finishing the shutdown operation, SPD-S cannot detect a memory card in the card slot. If you pull out the card from the card slot and
insert it again, then it is detected.
3. Open the card slot cover and push an eject button beside the card slot. Then, pull out the card with your

Wave
A wave is a combination of a "sound material" created by sampling a sound
of musical instruments, a voice or a performance and the settings at sound
reproduction. A wave is assigned to a playing surface in patch mode so that
it can be used in an actual performance.
The SPD-S stores a maximum of 399 waves in its internal memory and 500
waves on a memory card.
Wave Mode
To enter wave mode, press [WAVE] so it is lit.

You may not be able to work with files using the computer when the memory card has reached the "memory full!" (p. 130) stage.
In such instances, reduce the amount of data on the memory card.
Notes on Importing Audio Files (WAV/AIFF)
•
When you want to copy or save any audio file (WAV/AIFF) on a CompactFlash card using a computer or other device,
place it at the root (uppermost level) of the CompactFlash card. The SPD-S does not import any files from anywhere
other than the root.
•
•
•
When importing, the SPD-S recognizes a maximum of 100 audio files.
File names that have more than eight characters or that contain Japanese characters will not appear properly.
Make sure that a WAV file has a “.wav” extension and that an AIFF file has an “.aif” extension. The SPD-S does NOT
recognize any files with other extensions.
•
•
The SPD-S supports 8 bits or 16 bits for sample bits.
Sample rate conversion is not supported. Files are imported at the sample rate of 44.1 kHz. If any files with sample rates
other than 44.1 kHz are imported, they produce a deviation in playback pitch.
Loop points set in AIFF files are disabled.
•
•
If you try to import any WAV/AIFF file in a format that is not supported by the SPD-S, an error message of
“unsupported!” is displayed. No such file can be imported.
•
•
No compressed audio files (WAV/AIFF) can be imported.
It may be impossible to import audio files (WAV/AIFF) of an extremely short duration.

Chapter 7 Changing the Setup (Overall Environment)
When you set Trig Type, the following parameters are set to their recommended values. However, you’ll need to adjust them so
they more precisely match the way your pads and other devices are mounted, and on how you use them.
When InputMode is set to TRGx2, Sensitivity, Threshold, VeloCrv, Scan Time, RetrigCancel, Mask Time, and XtalkCancel can be
set for individual playing surfaces. Hit a pad/trigger or hold down [SHIFT] and press the PAGE buttons to change the pad/
trigger. Verify with the flashing pad indicators.
Parameter
Value
Descriptions
Sensitivity
1–16
Define the sensitivity of the pad or the like to control the balance between the strike
force and the sound volume. As the value increases, the sensitivity gets higher, which
means that a louder sound is produced with weak strikes.
Specify the value while watching the velocity indication (p. 77) to ensure that the ve-
locity is at 127 when you strike with the greatest force.
Threshold
0–15
Specify the strike force threshold, above which the SPD-S accepts trigger signals, to
prevent the pad or the like from being affected by the vibrations around it. In the di-
agram below, signal B is played back, but signals A and C are not.
Threshold

Scan Time
Because of a slight variation in the attack time of trigger signal depending on the pad
type or the characteristics peculiar to acoustic drum triggers, the SPD-S may occa-
sionally produce a weaker or stronger sound if you hit a pad at the same strength. In
this case, define the time for the detection of trigger signal (scan time) to ensure that
the strike force is correctly detected.
As the value increases, the time until sound production is increased. Specify the
smallest possible value.
Scan time

Setting the value
Raise the scan time value gradually from 0 ms while hitting the pad or the like at
the same strength. Set Scan Time to a value at which stable sound is produced with
the largest volume. At this value, hit the pad strongly and weakly to check if prop-
er volume variation is produced.
Specify the value while watching the velocity indication (p. 77) to ensure that the
velocity is at 127 when you strike with the greatest force.

Parameter
RetrigCancel
(Retrigger
Cancel)
Value
1–16
Descriptions
When you hit a snare drum equipped with an acoustic drum trigger, a sound may be
improperly produced (retriggered) at point A in the following diagram as well, be-
cause the waveform is erratic.
A
Time
This phenomenon is most likely to appear near the point where a waveform fades
away. RetrigCancel detects disorder in the waveform to prevent the retriggering phe-
nomenon.
As the value increases, a sound is less likely to be retriggered but some sounds are
more likely to fail to be produced when you repeatedly hit a drum quickly. Checking
that the sound is not retriggered, specify the smallest possible value.
Configuration of the Mask Time (described below) can also prevent double
reproduction of a sound like this. Mask Time is for ignoring a second trigger
signal within the time defined after reception of the first trigger signal, whereas
RetrigCancel is for detecting attenuation in trigger signal level to determine
whether a trigger signal is something that has been generated with a proper
strike, or is something to be ignored.
Setting the value
While hitting the pad or the like, raise the RetrigCancel value until the retriggering
phenomenon no longer occurs.
Mask Time
0–64 (in steps of 4 ms),
96, 128, 256 ms
A second contact of the beater just after producing a sound, especially with a kick
pad, may cause double triggering. Mask Time functions in preventing this phenom-
enon. A second trigger signal generated within the specified time (from 0 to 256 ms)
is ignored.
As the value increases, some sounds are more likely to fail to be produced when you
quickly and repeatedly strike a kick pad. Specify the smallest possible value.
Mask Time
Time
Ignored
If you hear a sound twice though you have hit a pad or the like only once, adjust
RetrigCancel as described above.
Setting the value
While sounding the kick pad, raise the Mask Time value until bouncing (sound
production caused by a bounce of the beater) no longer occurs.

Parameter
XtalkCancel
(Crosstalk
Cancel)
Value
OFF, 20–80%
Descriptions
For example, when two pads are mounted on a single stand, vibration generated by
striking on a pad may lead to improper production of the other sound. This phenom-
enon is called crosstalk.
By controlling XtalkCancel for the pad involving improper sound production, you
can eliminate this phenomenon.
With this parameter set to an excessive value, when you hit two pads at the same
time, the sound assigned to the pad receiving the weaker strike is not reproduced.
Specify the smallest possible value that still doesn’t produce any crosstalk. If it is set
to OFF, the crosstalk prevention function is disabled.
Mounting two pads apart from each other may prevent occurrence of the
crosstalk phenomenon.
This function cannot prevent crosstalk from any pads connected to other drum
sound modules. Mount the pads apart from each other.
Setting the value
When the sound assigned to the pad on Trigger Input 2 is produced by striking the
pad on Trigger Input 1:
While hitting the pad on Trigger Input 1, set the XtalkCancel value for the pad on
Trigger Input 2. Gradually raise the value from OFF until the sound of the pad on
Trigger Input 2 is no longer produced with any strike on the pad on Trigger Input
1. As the value is increased, the pad on Trigger Input 2 is less prone to crosstalk
from Trigger Input 1.
When InputMode is set to HD&RM and Type to PD-80R, PD-120 or RT-5S set the following parameter.

BULK DUMP
Settings for SPD-S setups and patches can be saved to an external MIDI device, such as a sequencer. Operate the external
sequencer for recording ordinary performance data and then take the following steps for the SPD-S.
Bulk dump is one of system exclusive message. Use an external MIDI sequencer that supports recording of system exclusive
messages. In addition, check if reception of system exclusive data is enabled in the settings on the sequencer.
When more than one SPD-S unit is connected, it is useful to define device IDs (Device ID in MIDI in Setup Edit -> p. 84).
See the operation manual of the external MIDI device for details on it.
1. Connect an external MIDI sequencer (as a saving destination) to the MIDI OUT connector on the SPD-S
using a MIDI cable.

Useful Functions for Changing Effect Parameters (Patch Edit)
•
The pad indicator is lit when Effects SW (p. 36) in PAD CONTROL is set to ON or VELO for the corresponding playing
surface.
* No effects are applied to the playing surfaces for which the pad indicators are unlit.
* In the screen for parameter “Velo” in effect types, only the pad indicators for the playing surfaces for which Effects SW in PAD
CONTROL is set to VELO are lit.
•
Each time you hold down [SHIFT] and hit a playing surface, the value of Effects SW (p. 36) in PAD CONTROL is alternately
set to ON and OFF. No settings for any playing surface for which the Effects SW is set to VELO can be changed if you hold
down [SHIFT] and hit it.
•
•
•
If you hold down [SHIFT] and press [FUNC], the parameter is reset to its initial value.
If you hold down [EFFECTS] and press [EDIT] in patch mode, the SPD-S displays the effect parameter screen.
If you press [FUNC] in an effect parameter screen for any parameter other than Type, Knob, Velo and Pedal, you can change
the value with the EFFECTS CONTROL knob as well as with [-]/[+]. This comes in handy when you want to make a
substantial change to a value. Press [FUNC] again to switch the EFFECTS CONTROL knob to its original function.
* For parameters with a wide value range, fine control cannot be made with the knob. Press [-]/[+] to make fine control.
If you rotate the EFFECTS CONTROL knob, the reproduced sound is changed although the value on the screen is not
changed. If there is any difference between the reproduced sound and the value on the screen, a “*” symbol is displayed next
to the value. If you hold down [SHIFT] and press [EXIT], the changes made to the effects of the patch are cancelled and the
“*” symbol disappears.
•
•
If you change the effect type, parameter values for different effect types are remembered. When you change the patch,
the parameters for all the effect types other than the one currently selected are reset to their respective initial values.

Effect List
Effect Synchronization (Phrase Sync)
The following effects can automatically be synchronized with the tempo of the wave played back. (Phrase Sync)
4: SYNC-DELAY
9: STEPFLANGER
29: SHORTLOOPER
30: SLICER
The parameters for these effect types include Tempo and PhraseSync (or Sync for STEPFLANGER).
•
When PhraseSync is set to OFF, or when Sync is set to FIXED for STEPFLANGER, the effect sound is synchronized with
an effect parameter of Tempo. While a wave is played back, synchronization is not redone.
•
When PhraseSync is set to ON, or when Sync is set to PHRASE for STEPFLANGER and if the wave played back has any
tempo, the effect sound is synchronized with the tempo. Even when they are being synchronized with the tempo of the
wave currently played back, the effect sound is resynchronized with the tempo of the wave playback later. If the played
back wave has no tempo, synchronization is made with the Tempo of the effect parameter. In this case, synchronization
is not redone while any wave is played back.

Restoring the Factory Settings Using the
Accompanying CD
The accompanying CD contains audio signals for sampling on the SPD-S and digital data for restoring the SPD-S to its factory
settings.
Once you execute this operation, you will lose all the patches and waves stored in the internal memory. Back up such data
beforehand if needed. (BACKUP SAVE in card utilities -> p. 73)
Prepare the following items:
•
•
•
•
A computer with a CD-ROM drive
A card reader that supports CompactFlash cards
The accompanying CD
A CompactFlash card (formatted using the SPD-S)
Formatting using the SPD-S -> p. 67
Take the following steps:
1. Connect the card reader to the computer to ensure that it can be used.
For connecting the card reader to the computer and using them, see their respective operation manuals.
2. Load the accompanying CD into the CD-ROM drive.
3. Insert the CompactFlash card into the card reader.
4. Copy the “FCTRY” folder on the accompanying CD to the “ROLAND” folder on the CompactFlash card.
If the “ROLAND” folder on the CompactFlash card already has a “FCTRY” folder, delete the “FCTRY” folder before
copying.
5. Eject the CompactFlash card to which the copying was done in Step 4 from the card reader. Then, make
sure that the SPD-S is powered off and insert it into the card slot of the SPD-S.
6. While holding down [PATCH], [WAVE], and [CARD] switch ON the SPD-S.
After powering it on, hold down the three buttons until “[ENTER] to Load” appears.

7. “[ENTER] to Load” appears. Release the three buttons. Next, press [ENTER].
Data transfer from the CompactFlash card to the SPD-S begins. It takes a few minutes until it is complete.
During the data transfer, do not eject the CompactFlash card from the card slot and do not switch off power to the SPD-S.
Doing so could not only destroy the data, but also cause problems for the SPD-S.
8. “Load Completed!” appears, and the data transfer is complete. Now, eject the CompactFlash card,
power the SPD-S off, then power it on again.

■Calculation of the Checksum of Exclusive
Messages
3. Supplementary material
■Decimal and Hexadecimal table
Roland Exclusive messages (RQ1, DT1) are transmitted with a checksum at the end
(before F7) to make sure that the message was correctly received.
The value of the checksum is determined by the address and data (or size) of the
transmitted exclusive message.
In MIDI documentation, data values and addresses/sizes of exclusive messages etc.
are expressed as hexadecimal values for each 7 bits.
The following table shows how these correspond to decimal numbers.
❍How to calculate the checksum (hexadecimal numbers are

indicated by “H”)
+——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————+
| D | H || D | H || D | H || D | H
|——————+——————++——————+——————++——————+——————++——————+——————|
The checksum is a value derived by adding the address, size and checksum itself
and inverting the lower 7 bits.

128 - remainder = checksum
(However, the checksum will be 0 if the remainder is 0.)

D: decimal
H: hexadecimal
*
*
Decimal values such as MIDI channel, bank select, and program change are
listed as one(1) greater than the values given in the above table.
A 7-bit byte can express data in the range of 128 steps. For data where greater
precision is required, we must use two or more bytes. For example, two
hexadecimal numbers aa bbH expressing two 7-bit bytes would indicate a value
of aa x 128 + bb.
<Example1> What is the decimal expression of 5AH?
From the preceding table, 5AH = 90
<Example2> What is the decimal expression of the value 12 34H
given as hexadecimal for each 7 bits?
From the preceding table, since 12H = 18 and 34H = 52
18 x 128 + 52 = 2356

Troubleshooting
This section outlines points to check if you experience
problems, and what to do about them.
Is Sensitivity set to a low value?
Raise the Sensitivity value. (p. 77, p. 81, p. 83)
Is Local Control set to OFF?
If so, pads are separated from the sound generator and as a
result no sound is produced when they’re struck. Set the
Local Control to ON. (p. 84)
Problems When Playing the
Internal Sound Generator
Certain Pads Don’t Sound
Are the SPD-S and external devices connected
correctly?
Is the level of WAVE A/B low?
Adjust the level of WAVE A/B. (p. 34)
Check the connections. (p. 20)
An audio cable may be broken.
The level can be controlled with the EFFECTS CONTROL
knob for some effect types. For effect types and
controllability using the EFFECTS CONTROL knob, see
“Effect list.” (p. 92)
You may be using an audio cable with a built-in
resistor.
Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor (e.g.,
Roland PCS series).
Is Ctrl SW set to REC-REH, TAP TEMPO or SOUND
OFF?
The volume of a connected amp or mixer may be
turned down.
If so, the sound assigned to the pad cannot be triggered. Set
the control switch to OFF. (p. 79)
Adjust the volume to an appropriate level.
The volume of SPD-S may be turned down.
Sound Production Is Disrupted
Adjust the volume to an appropriate level.
Is Mute Group set to anything other than OFF?
Set Mute Group to OFF. (p. 36)
If there is sound through the headphones, the problem may
be that a connecting cable is damaged, or there is a problem
with the amp or mixer. Check the amplification system and
the audio connections. (p. 20)
Is Trigger in Wave Edit set to ALTERNATE?
If so, the wave is alternately muted and reproduced each
time you hit a pad. Set Trigger to SHOT to reproduce the
wave each time you hit the pad. (p. 46)
Is the pad indicator or [START/STOP] lit when you
want to play back a wave?
Is the Mask Time value appropriate?
When you hit a pad in patch mode, the pad indicator lights
and the wave is played back. If it is not lit after a strike,
“I000 OFF” or an empty wave is assigned to the pad.
Assign a non-empty wave to the pad or execute sampling/
resampling.
Sometimes you can inadvertently produce a second hit on a
pad even though you think you’ve hit it just once; the stick’s
momentum can cause it to touch the pad right after the first
hit. In such situations, if the trigger mode for the wave is set
to ALT, sound production is stopped if there is a second
strike. Raise the Mask Time value. (p. 77, p. 82)
When you hit a pad in wave mode, [START/STOP] lights
and the wave is played back. If it is not lit after a strike,
“I000 OFF” or an empty wave is selected. Select a non-
empty wave or execute sampling/resampling.

Troubleshooting
Sound Production Is not Stopped
Mic Sound Is not Output/Is too
Weak
Press [ALL SOUND OFF] to stop all sounds being
produced. (p. 31)
The input source may be set to LINE.
Set the MIC/LINE switch on the rear panel to “MIC”.
Is Trigger in Wave Edit set to SHOT?
If so, sound production lasts until the end point of the
wave, so you may feel that the sound is continuing
endlessly when a long wave is played back. If Trigger is set
to ALT, the wave is alternately reproduced or muted each
time you hit the playing surface. (p. 46)
The mic level may have been lowered.
Use the INPUT LEVEL knob on the rear panel to adjust the
level appropriately. (p. 26, p. 54, p. 56)
Can’t Record a Wave
Is Loop in Wave Edit set to ON?
Set Loop to OFF. (p. 46)
If you are attempting to sample to a memory card,
has the memory card been formatted by the SPD-S?
Format the memory card with the SPD-S. (p. 67)
The Volume Is Unchangeable
Is Dynamics set to OFF?
A Sampled Sound Contains Much
Noise or Distortion
Set Dynamics to ON. (p. 36)
Is the input level appropriate?
Controlled with Strike Strength
If the input level is too high, the sampled sound may be
distorted. If it is too low, the sampled sound may contain
overt noise. Adjust the INPUT LEVEL knob while watching
the level meter displayed on the screen to maximize the
input level within the range in which the excess level
indication remains unlit. (p. 26, p. 54, p. 56)
Are Sensitivity and VeloCurve set appropriately?
Adjust Sensitivity and VeloCurve. (p. 77, p. 81, p. 83)
An Externally Input Sound Is not
Produced, or Is Produced at a Low
Volume
Are the effect settings appropriate?
Some types of effect may increase the level louder than the
original sample, or may intentionally distort the sound.
Some effects will also cause noise to be emphasized.
Temporarily turn off effects, and check whether the wave
itself contains noise or distortion. Then adjust the effect
and control knobs, refer to “Effects List.” (p. 92)
To produce an externally input sound in any event other
than sampling, set Input Mix to ON. During sampling, an
externally input sound is produced irrespective of the Input
Mix value. (p. 76)
Is the input level low?
Turn the INPUT LEVEL knob to an appropriate level. (p. 26,
p. 54, p. 56)
Is the volume of the device connected to LINE IN
jacks low?
Adjust the volume to an appropriate level.
You may be using an audio cable with a built-in
resistor.
Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor (e.g.,
Roland PCS series).

received, the SPD-S produces no sound. Change the note
number value or switch over to a patch to which another
note number is assigned. (p. 36)
Is the same note number assigned to more than one
pad?
If so, the SPD-S produces only the sound assigned to one
pad. Assign a unique note number to each of the pads.
(p. 36)
Is the program number set appropriately?
Match the program number on the SPD-S with that on the
external MIDI device.
