■ Unlike conventional recorders, OCTAPAD is equipped with a new-style phrase loop function aimed at "performing in real time" rather than "recording". By making full use of the three KITs at the same time, you can freely change phrases while recording multiple performances, muting specific sounds, replacing performances, and changing effects in real time. The phrase loop feature has endless possibilities to inspire players to create.

■ OCTAPAD is equipped with a newly designed rubber pad with excellent sensing performance by incorporating the technology and know-how of his V-Drums that Roland has cultivated over many years. With a wide dynamic range from light to heavy, you can expressively play the latest built-in percussion / drum sounds. OCTAPAD's rubber pads have a good feel and quietness. It greatly enhances the reliability of the instrument, such as preventing mispronunciation due to crosstalk between pads.

■ OCTAPAD has 670 built-in newly developed percussion / drum sounds. You can perform a wide range of performances for various music scenes simply by selecting a kit that is prepared in a wide variety of ways. With the layer function, each tone can be layered to add thickness to the sound, and different tones can be switched / faded / cross-fade depending on the strength of the tap. You can use the layer function and eight instrument parameters to adjust the sound to something completely different from the original tone. In addition, 30 types of multi-effects tuned to the percussion / drum sound are effective in creating unique sounds. It is possible to instantly produce the sound that the player imagined with just OCTAPAD. Since it is equipped with an ambience, equalizer, and limiter, it is possible to produce a sound that matches the image of the song or the performance scene.

■ OCTAPAD is equipped with 4 trigger inputs as expansion trigger inputs. It also supports V-Pad and V-Cymbal using mesh pads, so you can perform more expressive performances such as rim shots and cymbals. You can also connect the hi-hat control pedal FD-8 and V-Hi-Hat VH-11. By adding KD-8 and FD-8, it is possible to build a compact drum set centered on OCTAPAD.
