Easy-to-use interface lets you start playing right away. Finding the right drum kit is simple: just use the Phrase Preview function to hear a short demo for each kit. Each kit's sounds can be enhanced using 15 types of built-in Ambience effects and compression. And with Roland's enhanced Rhythm Coach onboard, drummers can improve their timing, speed and endurance using several rhythm-training exercises. The back of the module features 9 trigger inputs, making it possible to add more pads like Roland's mesh PD-80R for snare. A stereo mix input lets you play along with external audio sources, while MIDI in and out let you connect with sequencers and more.
