The HandSonic HPD-20 brings percussion performance into the modern age with its innovative blend of tactile response and cutting-edge technology. This latest generation instrument features 13 velocity-sensitive pads housed in a smooth, ergonomic case that feels natural under your hands. With over 850 internal sounds and effects at your fingertips, the HPD-20 offers finger-sensitive triggering that responds to your every nuance, creating an engaging and dynamic playing experience.
What sets the HPD-20 apart is its versatility in handling both acoustic and electronic percussive music styles. The built-in light beam sensor adds an entirely new dimension to sound control and triggering, opening up creative possibilities that go beyond traditional pad-based performance. This tactile approach to percussion makes the instrument both fun and highly expressive for musicians of all levels.
USB connectivity enables seamless MIDI integration with your favourite software while also allowing you to load custom sounds directly into the unit. Import your own hits or loops to create a completely personalised sound palette – the creative possibilities are virtually limitless. Performance phrases can be recorded and exported as WAV files, making it easy to share your work or integrate recordings into your music production workflow. For added convenience, the HPD-20 can be mounted on the separately available PDS-10 stand.
