Roland Handsonic HPD-20 Comprehensive Factory Preset Kit Tour and Reactions

I play all 100 factory preset kits on a used Roland Handsonic HPD-20, demonstrating each patch (including the optional hi-hat and kick controllers), getting a quick feel for the kit as a whole, and sharing my initial reactions. I also test the effects of pressure, velocity, and the special D-Beam motion sensor. This video doesn't delve into advanced features such as editing kits or parameters via menus, looping/recording, or real time parameterization. I spend more time with percussive patches, and skim more quickly through melodic patches due to my own priorities for the instrument. However, you should still be able to glean some essential information about even those patches I spend less time exploring.
