User manual ROLAND SPD-20 PATCHLIST

[. . . ] A totally unique percussion instrument, the OCTAPAD allowed one to perform on the 8 pads, and via MIDI, control a drum machine (like the TR-909) or an external MIDI module or sampler. This instrument was immediately adopted by musicians around the world, not only for playing drum or percussion sounds, but also using it to perform all styles of music. 1985 saw the release of the "OCTAPAD II" (PAD-80), which not only maintained the exciting features of the first-generation OCTAPAD, but added many new ones like Layering and pedal control. 1988 was the era when musicians used either of the firstgeneration OCTAPADs. As they did not have an on-board sounds, most of the time they were connected to drum machines, (TR-909, R-8 etc) So In 1990, Roland introduced the SPD-8 which had its own on-board sound source. In 1993, It was followed by the SPD-11 which not only had more sounds but also built-in effects processing. [. . . ] Press the [SET LOOP/NEXT] button .
