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 samples by dragging them straight from Finder — WAV, AIFF, MP3, whatever you've got. Anything that isn't already 16-bit/44.1kHz gets converted automatically.

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 ▸ LICENSE

  • Full editor, unlocked, from the first launch
  • One-time $10 payment — no subscription
  • License unlocks saving on this and future versions

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.
