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.
Sensitive Surface
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.
Easy Operation
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.
Style Guide Metronome
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.

Improve your skills with the advanced Rhythm Coavh function
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.
Wave your hands over the
invisible D Beam to trigger and
control sounds with visual impact.

precision. The 7-segment meter displays the

alternate between normal and Quiet, challenging
you to maintain the correct tempo throughout.
Tap Tempo
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!
