Questions on Roland SPD_SX Sampling Pad.

A Peanut Sammy
I want to get this bugger because what it can do but not what it looks like its aimed for.

https://www.roland.com/us/products/spd-sx/

Will i need drum sticks to trigger the pads or can i do it with my hands like maschine?

What I do like about it, is that its like an electribe sampler but all digital audio and midi pathway, no noisy cable clutter.

There is a AU Vst editor from roland out already. basically its like midi out from your daw into the SPD SX USB audio out from the SX back into the daw, live drumming or sort of.

Not to take arms but its a worlds first. Like an aira_tr but with your own samples.



Exceptional Percussion Pad with Advanced Sampling
Roland's SPD-SX sampling percussion pad is Roland's most advanced sampling percussion pad to date. With tons of sounds, three multi-FX, and 4GB of memory for up to three hours of onboard sampling, the SPD-SX is perfect for both stage and studio. Featuring nine velocity-sensitive pads and two dual-trigger inputs for external triggering of onboard sounds, the SPD-SX is also a great way to expand an existing percussion setup. And no matter how you use it, you'll love the easy visibility of the large backlit LCD screen and LED indicators for the pads.

The SPD-SX goes beyond other sampling percussion pads by making sampling external audio easier than ever. Just route a signal through the 1/4" inputs or from your computer via USB - just touch a pad at the appropriate start and end points, and the SPD-SX creates a perfect loop. And thanks to the included SPD-SX Wave Manager software, it's easy to organize your recorded samples and transfer them to and from your computer. With performance-focused features and an incredible sound set, you'll love the Roland SPD-SX sampling percussion pad!
