Music Background:
Octapad SPD-30 is an incredible instrument. In the past I used to program drums with mouse and small MPC pad, but is no fun and results were robotic and without feeling.

As a plus, the Octapad provides MIDI clock all the time, which I am using to sync the LFO of my Moog Little Phatty synth. Really cool! close [-]
