An all-new collection of sounds has been created for the HPD-10; approx.
400 high-quality instruments are onboard. All of the percussive essentials
have been included — congas, bongos, tabla, djembe, cajon, etc. — as well
as melodic percussion, drum kit, special effects, and more. No matter the
genre, from ethnic to electronic, the HPD-10 has you covered.
New Sounds
Whether you’re laying down the most delicate finger rolls or the sharpest slaps,
the HPD-10’s playing surface can handle anything you give it. The comfortable
round surface is divided into ten individual pads with pressure and positional
sensitivity. The popular D Beam is also included for dramatic triggering and
pitch control. Strike a virtual gong with your head, and control the pitch of a
talking drum with your hand waving up/down — you get the picture.
Sensitive Surface
The HandSonic 10 has a new type of metronome that provides a musically
inspiring selection of rhythm patterns based on a variety of styles — Latin,
World Music, Rock, Pop, Jazz, Dance. It helps you not only for practice, but
also for sessions as play-along patterns.
Style Guide Metronome
Dual-trigger input allows a kick pedal
and cymbal pad (or footswitch) to be
plugged in.
Wave your hands over the
invisible D Beam to trigger and
control sounds with visual impact.
* Actual D Beam is invisible; color has been
added for illustration purposes only.
Effects & Controller
The PRESET KITS buttons give you quick
access to five specially selected kits —
Conga, Tabla, Steel Drum, Drums, SFX,
and five of your favorite kits. The large,
backlit icon-driven LCD helps you clearly
see what you are playing or editing.

The “Pad Follow” lesson combines both audio
and visual information. With a click playing in
the background, a test pattern is played for
you; at the same time, the pattern appears on
the graphical pad display. Then it's your turn to
copy what you just heard and saw.
Improve your skills with the advanced Rhythm Coavh function
Pad Follow
Time Check teaches you to play with pinpoint
precision. The 7-segment meter displays the
accuracy of your performance is as you play.
Time Check
Develop your timing while expanding your
pattern vocabulary. With a click track playing in
the background, Rhythm Check plays a pattern
and then asks you to repeat it, then advances
to the next pattern.
Rhythm Check
This exercise is designed to develop your
internal tempo. The volume of the click will
alternate between normal and Quiet, challenging
you to maintain the correct tempo throughout.
Quiet Count
An endurance exercise that gradually increases
and then decreases the click speed. The rate at
which the tempo goes up and down is
adjustable, you can set the maximum tempo at
which it starts decreasing, and the minimum
tempo at which it starts increasing.
Auto Up/Down
Tap a series of quarter-notes on any of the ten
pads and the HandSonic 10 will calculate and
display your new tempo in beats per minute. A
handy resource!
