I will teach you two methods for creating Click Tracks to load inside of your ROLAND SDP-SX PRO. There are many ways to do this, but this is the best way I've found that fits my need to maintain a level of control as well as automation with click tracks.
My band has a few songs that change tempo and/or time signatures in the middle of the song. I will show you how I create click tracks for these songs in a way that maintains your control. Nobody wants a click track to not change tempo or time signature when it should!
I will also show you a very easy way to assign the click track to the internal metronome so you can use the click button to start! Link pads together, set up mute groups, setting proper outputs for your needs, etc, are all things covered here!

definetly do more videos , this was very helpful !!!!!
Thank you so much! I’ve had a few people looking for more about pad link. Any specific info you’re interested in? One of these days I’m going to get another one done around these songs I’m working on! I appreciate you! xD
Outstanding explanation - so kind of you to share 😊 Many thanks!
Im so happy that it was helpful! Trying to bring some other types of value other than just jamming, so this helps me know it’s worth the efforts! Seriously appreciate it and thanks for taking the time to comment. I appreciate you 💚🙏
Man such a great and useful content, thank you! 🙏🏼
Thank you SO much. It means a lot to let me know. 🙌🙏xD
Very interesting, and you covered this pretty good. I've learned more just listening and watching you here. Keep up the good work.
Hey I really appreciate that! Thank you so much! xD
I just ordered my SPD SX PRO, and so I’m watching and learning while I wait for it to arrive. This is exactly the kind of functions I was hoping to learn about. This was very concise, helpful content. Thank you, and I’ll be watching you for more ^_^
That’s so awesome! You’re gonna love that pad bro it’s amazing. I appreciate you! xD
Thanks for making this video
Really helpful 🙏🏻
I’m glad! Thank you so much for your support! 🙌🙏 xD
Excellent tutorial! Thank you!
Thank you so much for letting me know! xD
Love to see how you do backing tracks in the SPD SX Pro please
Yo! Just a little clarification for me, Do you mean create the backing track from scratch using only the SDPSXP in lieu of a DAW? Thanks for checking this one out!
This was SUPER helpful.. thx for the vid, pls do more !!
I’m glad it helped! One of these days I’ll get some more cool info up that will be helpful! xD 🙌🙏
Extremely helpful video! Just picked up my first SPD SX PRO and excited to get things set up! Would also love to see another video on the pad linking feature you mentioned at the end of this video and even an explanation on setting this all up for live performance with in ear monitors and all if possible. Thanks again for the great information!
That’s awesome bro! Im just getting done with a busy work week on live events and studio time but going to be planning on shooting more videos just like that after next week! (Vacation 😝) I’m stoked this was helpful for you! Appreciate your support 🙏
Great stuff! I really need to know how to start the click track when I start my backing track.
You can do this with the pad link function! Its very similar to the mute group that I talk about in this video. Hmmm maybe a pad link video is coming up too! 😁. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions it’s a pretty easy task once you know what you’re looking for.
Thanks Chad for these great ideas of using the new spd-sx pro. The possibility to use the mute groups (pad links, too) in combination with 'click tracks' are great and it will help me a lot!!!! in the future. Greetings from Germany, thanks again and good luck for the future !! Andi
I love it! You’re welcome and I’m stoked it was useful! I appreciate the time you took to drop this comment! 🙌 xD
Thank you Chad. I just got my sx pro. I will be looking for more info soon. I will be sampling and playing recorded percussion loops live soon.
I love it! I’ve been thinking about getting some more stuff done on it I’ve been just SO BUSY working SO HARD on my music every day. But I love to help and bring value with videos like this too! Thanks for coming through and dropping a comment!! xD 🙌
Thank you so much, Chad!
You’re welcome! So happy it helped! xD
Great video btw
Thank you that means a lot! xD
Great info dude!
I’m super stoked on the feedback I’m getting on this! Thanks so much!
Keep making these vids on the spd sx pro please!
I swear I have it on my list of things to do haha! I’m working so deep on my music right now I’ve just not made the time yet to create one. This is my first ever solo music project, still finding myself on a few things you know?
I’m promise another one will come soon! Should be 2024 fasho lol xD 🙌💚
Great video!
I hope it helps someone like me! Trying to add value to the channel in addition to entertainment. 💚✌️😁
Awesome! yes dude make more videos on the Spd sx Pro, esp w click and backing track
Awesome I’m getting great feedback on these. I’ll start planning out some more stuff for this in the coming weeks! 😁🙏🙏I appreciate you!
Good tutorial thanks
Hey thank you so much for that! It means a lot! Let me know if I can help with anything! 🙏
Super helpful. Any chance you could make a video about your live setup and sending tracks to FOH and yourself? Just getting into the hybrid setup in a live setting.
Im going to put this on my list 100%! I’ll need a bit of time for planning but I like that idea. Thank you! 💚🙏
Hi, great video and good explanation. Can you give me advice how to play Guide, Back tracks and klick in one???
Hey thanks so much! Are you familiar with pad link? You can assign the tracks to pads and activate at the same time with pad link or you can layer the two sounds on a single pad. I’d you need more info let me know I’ll do my best to help! xD
Hey dude! Great video, it would be great if you made that pad link video
Im thinking I’ll get a few more of these videos up to help out for sure, ive had a few requests on that! I’ll work towards getting a few done in the coming couple weeks! It’s that time of year! And thanks so much!! xD 🙏
@@ChadxD awesome, I’m using the TM6 Pro, creating a single backing track and corresponding click track in my DAW, and in the TM6 Pro if you name the click WAV “backingtrackname_click” it will play at the same time as the backing track and can be routed through phones and/or direct outs.
Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure I can only play one single backing track with one corresponding click on the TM6 Pro, even though there are 4 direct outs on the module.
I was hoping with “pad link” on the SPD SX Pro, I could link multiple WAV tracks to play simultaneously which can be separately routed through the outs. Sometimes our bass player is unreliable and we need to track bass for live shows. It would be nice to be able to send a separate bass track to FoH which is independent from the backing track for appropriate mixing.
❤
🫶🙌xD
Please do more tutorials for the spd, that was a fantastic tutorial! Thanks
Awesome! Thank you so much! I’m starting to plan the next one! Injured my back so I’ve been a bit slow on things the past couple weeks, but it wont keep me down!
Thanks so much I appreciate you! xD
Hey Chad, have you tried using the SPD to send midi to a daw? I'm wondering if the way you set it up using "PLAY WAVE as CLICK-TRACK" resets the internal click each time you retrigger, then the daw would resync as the new time code is sent over midi.. Theoretically. Haha I don't have my own SPD yet, trying to learn before I have the funds to get my own!
Yo! I do use it as a midi controller sometimes but haven’t used it while utilizing the internal click of the SDP while recording to a daw. I use the DAW metronome when I’m using the pad as a midi device vs wav samples being sent through the 1/4 audio jacks. In fact, I still use the daw click..LOL. I use click tracks in the pad for playing live vs recording.
That said I’d be more than happy to test out what your interesting in doing for you and follow up! Im out of state at the moment but will be back after this week!
Right on, yeah I think having the spd be able to be the master of the time through a daw would really open up a world of opportunity for live performances :D
Jake Lewis I’ll look into this bro, I’ve got a few things I’m going to put together on this drum pad after my vacation, I’ll jot a note down about this!
I like this. Do you have the second video about linking pads? One more question: I want to be able to create custom backingtracks for each bandmember to the same song plus a clicktrack. Let's say that I, the drummer, need click + guitar + my own memo notes as reminders for upcoming fills or breaks. So I decide that I'm gonna create my personal backingtrack where I have click+recorded guitars, and my own voice to count in whenever there a need for reminders. And my guitarist wants a backingtrack with click and his own reminders and whatnot, the bass player wants his own, and the vocalist needs his own special backingtrack plus click. Can I upload all these custom backingtracks and assign them to its own pads which I trigger with one pad when the concert starts? So that each member receives their own personal backingtrack with click for the same song? Because if I understand correctly, there are multiple out-channels, right? How would that be done if possible?
Yo thanks for the comment! I’m going to be doing a video on the pad link function one of these days!
So there’s a number of ways to get done what you want with this pad. Either a combo of layering the sounds on the pads and using pad link and multiple outputs, or you could create the stacks for each member in your DAW and bounce 1 sound file for each member and assign to the pads. Pad link can trigger sounds on multiple pads with one pad strike! It can certainly be done!
@@ChadxD awesome! It's such a relief to know it's possible. Looking forward to your video, and thank you so so much!!!
Following for the part where you set up backing tracks WITH click track.Just got mine and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do it. Should I pan my tracks left/right to do so?
Yo I appreciate you so much! So I’ve not panned them left and right I’ve kept them center. When I’m playing with an instrumental backing track I use the internal metronome. I start my metronome first then smack the pad that has the backing track on it after a bar or two. And, I use the re trigger method.
Does that make sense? It’s been a day, but I think that made sense xD thanks so much 🙏
Hi Chad and thanks again a lot for your very helpful tutorial around the spd sx pro !!! I have one question and I hope you can help me out with that problem. The last 8 years I used the spd sx and I need it especially to run back a lot of backing tracks and LOOPS !!! With the spd sx it was no prob to adjust the pads that way, that when you hit one pad than the other stop playing. That worked withe 'mute group 1' perfectly. BUT with the new spd sx pro you have tons of adjustments in the mute group BUT you can just define which pad (only one!!!) should stop when hitting another pad...... that doesn't work for my kind of work I need that machine.... Do you have any solution for that item ????????? Looking forward to your answer, thank you very much and greetings from Germany. Andi
Let me re read this in the am when I’ve got a fresh mind! Happy to see if I can help you in any way xD 🙌🙌
Just Imagine you have a loop on each of the 9 pads and you want to flip from the first pad to 7 back to 5, then 3, the first again and then number 9 and you always want the others to stop when hit the next pad…… that was no prop with the SPSX, but with the new pro version. I cannot find that in the adjustments of the mute group section in the app…..
It’s a tricky one I’ve not performed this way before! I’m with ya working this out, I see what you’re trying to do. I’ll keep ya posted!
@andreasplum5485 Broo 😵💫🤯🤯haha I’m trying so hard over here 😂
@@ChadxD 😂😂😂 that means, you also found a solution for that prob??😩😩😩
That was a standard setting in the older SPD-SX……. How could they don’t think about that in the new ‚PRO‘ version???????????
But THANK YOU so much for trying to help me, Chad 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
How's it holding up? Also are you using an kick pedal and anyway we can get a review of sounds live?
Yo! Getting better every day almost ready to start playing again! Yes I have a Roland KT10 I use with it, it’s a great pedal.
What types of sounds are you interested in? Also, Are you wanting to be able to hear the sounds played as if it were live? Or are you looking for a review video of how I feel it sounds when playing live through a mixer and PA? More than happy to explore anything that’s helpful!
@ChadxD acoustic drums presets live through PA or with a band and then some live samples imported if possible please can't find a good demo as if some1 was playing a classic rock/variety live band with this and that's what we play so I Wanna make sure also can the snare do rim shots?? Appreciate it!
@cross-hairz800 I got you! I’ll do a little jam video with acoustic set samples! Should get it done this week!
@ChadxD thanks man! Does the snare have rim shot?
@cross-hairz800 so there are numerous ways to get a rim shot sound. You can either assign it to a specific pad or you can set a single pad to fade or transition to the sound at a desired force. Simple answer is yes you can do rimshots lol.
Can't you bypass the USB drive by going straight from computer via USB cable? Or is there a reason that the USB drive is easier?
The usb cable won’t transfer the files into the internal memory of the pad as far as I know. You use the cable to use the app on the computer to move sounds around and create custom kits or you can use it for midi. Best of my knowledge! Let me know if you find out something I don’t! 🙏
@@ChadxDNo, actually that is not true. I thought the same, since I could not find any information about this. But I gave a shot and just drag and dropped the files from folder in Mac to file list in the app and they transfered. I thought no way in 2023 there would be so archaic method of file transfer just with USB flash. Only time I used flash was for firmware update.
@@edgars9854 yup they added the feature on a recent update! It made me SO HAPPY!!! You’re spot on thanks for jumping in!
Hello, I have an issue with back track and clicktrack pad linked. My click track starts with silence, because of intro at beginning of backtrack. Problem is, that SPD SX Pro cuts this silence at beginning :/ when I play clicktrack pad without pad link, the silence plays accordingly. Any ideas to stop SPD SX Pro from cutting this silence at beginning of sample? Thanks and cheers :)
It’s only when you have a pad with the click track linked to another pad? Such as click track pad linked to backing track pad to play simultaneously? But when they aren’t linked together it’s all good?
How do you create a 2 bar count in.
Thx
When I’m creating the click track inside my daw, I create an empty midi region to fill in two bars at the beginning. Either starting at 1 or -1, doesn’t matter much. Then when I bounce I have two bars of click before the actual “song” starts! Let me know if that helps!!! Thanks for checking out my video!
Bonjour
Pouvez vous me dire comment on mes une piste clic , avec une séquence svp. Merci 😊
Hello! If you create a midi sequence, and then mute the midi notes, you can bounce the track with the metronome on and get a click track for that sequence length. Does that make sense? Hope it helps!! Have an amazing day!
Great tutorial, just to much to do
Thank you! There really is a TON to do it’s crazy!
