Roland PDA-120L

Post by KirovHC »

Hello everybody,
anyone owns this pad and was able to set it up correctly? It looks a bit different than all the roland I have tried so far, especially I don't understand the logic of placement

What do you mean when you say "Logic of placement?"

Sorry, translation problems: D
I mean the positional sensing it's a little bit strange.
I can't explain it in words for that I was looking for someone who had the same experience.
it's like edge is activated towards the center and there is no way to fix it moving the bars.
I had to deactivate the edge articulation and "off center in SD3" to sound good

I don't think that tom is capable of positional sensing.

I have now seen it has 3 edge mounted triggers :roll: .
In terms of sounds, how does it translate?
Will there be only one type of sound?

Yes, only center sound, for different sounds, no more than 3 with SD3 (center, off center, edge) anyway, you need a center mounted trigger.

Yep, even this pad has 3 side triggers so goodbye positional but at least no shotgun on the middle :D ... a good 12 pad with central sensor?
