Tap the pads.
WAVE ▸ PREVIEW
KIT ▸ COMMON
Every kit, organized
Browse, search, rename, duplicate, or build from a template. Export a single kit — with the samples it uses — as a standalone folder for backup or sharing.
KIT ▸ PAD
Every parameter, one click away
Volume, pan, mute group, note, loop, trigger type, dynamics, poly/mono, output routing, per-pad MIDI channel. Copy, paste, exchange, or reset pads — or push one pad’s settings to the whole kit.
KIT ▸ FX
Real effects, real parameters
Enable and edit FX1 and FX2 across all 20 built-in effect types — Reverb, Delay, Chorus, Distortion, and more — with actual parameter names instead of raw numbers.
WAVE ▸ LIBRARY
Find any sample in seconds
Search and filter by category, preview playback, rename, batch-rename, duplicate, and import .wav files by dragging them straight from Finder.
WAVE ▸ CATEGORY
Tag it your way
Rename the 16 sample categories used by the hardware’s own browse screen, right from your Mac.
SYSTEM ▸ WORKFLOW
Built the Mac way
Full undo/redo, configurable autosave, a proper menu bar, and shortcuts for everything — ⌘S to save, ⌘Z to undo, ⌘1–⌘9 to jump between kits.

SYSTEM ▸ FIRST LAUNCH
macOS will warn you once.
This build isn't signed with a paid Apple Developer certificate yet, so macOS shows a security warning the first time you open it. That's expected — here's how to get past it:
- Open the downloaded
.dmgand drag SPD-SX Editor into Applications. - Double-click the app. macOS blocks it with a warning — click Done.
- Open System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security, scroll down to the message about the blocked app, and click Open Anyway.
- Confirm with your password or Touch ID, then open the app once more and click Open.
You only need to do this once — every launch after that works normally.
SYSTEM ▸ NOTICE
This app reads and writes the SPD-SX's own file format, which is not officially documented by Roland. Everything it knows about that format was reverse-engineered from real card data. Most fields were verified byte-for-byte; the kit effect parameter layout has only been directly confirmed for 2 of the 20 effect types.
This app is built and tested only for the original Roland SPD-SX. It does not support the SPD-SX PRO, which uses a different file format and effects engine. If you own an SPD-SX PRO, please use Roland's own official software instead.
Always back up your SD card before using this app. Copy the entire Roland/SPD-SX folder to your computer first. The app never touches your
card until you explicitly click Save.
