ROLAND V71 Electric Drum Sound Module

Product Overview
The Roland V71 is Roland’s flagship V-Drums 7 Series sound module — a pro-grade drum brain built for studio, stage, and high-end electronic kits. It ships with a newly recorded onboard sound library developed in collaboration with Drum Workshop (DW), deep editing tools, and support for the latest V-Drums pads (including Roland’s digital PD-14DSX snare). The V71 also doubles as a modern recording hub, offering multichannel USB audio and flexible I/O so you can go straight from the module to your DAW or front-of-house rig.

Key Features

• Premium onboard sounds (DW collaboration) — Newly recorded acoustic kits and multi-layer samples created with Drum Workshop deliver natural dynamics and realistic mic’d-kit character. 
• Multi-channel USB audio interface — Acts as a 32-channel USB audio/MIDI interface so you can record each pad to separate tracks in your DAW for full mixing control. Great for studio tracking and hybrid live rigs. 
• Robust I/O for pro setups — Balanced main outputs plus multiple assignable direct outs (balanced 1/4" and XLR options), many analog trigger inputs and digital trigger inputs, and footswitch connectivity for performance flexibility.
• Advanced pad compatibility & expressive triggering — Full support for the latest V-Drums 7 Series pads (including PD-14DSX, PD-10X/PD-12X, and digital cymbals) with multi-zone sensing, choke behavior, and nuanced dynamics.
• Onboard effects & mixing tools — Built-in EQs, compression, reverbs, ambience and other effects let you shape polished drum sounds without external gear.
• Sample import & expandability — Add your own samples and expand the module’s palette with Roland Cloud / sample import workflows for custom kits.
• Modern workflow conveniences — Large color display for faster navigation, Bluetooth audio/MIDI and dedicated computer apps for detailed editing and preset management. 

Benefits

• Studio-ready recordings faster: Multitrack USB output and direct outs let you capture clean, isolated drum tracks for pro mixing without extra routing or re-amping. 
• Realistic, expressive drum feel: High-quality multi-layer samples and advanced pad sensing preserve dynamics and stick nuance so electronic kits translate naturally in recordings and live mixes. 
• Flexible live setup: Assignable outputs, onboard effects, and rugged build make the V71 suitable for live performance rigs and touring kits.
• Future-proof and expandable: Sample import and cloud expansion keep your sonic options growing as new libraries and pad technologies arrive.Typical Uses

Professional drummers, hybrid acoustic/electronic kits, studio producers who want clean multitrack drum capture, and live performers needing a compact yet powerful drum engine for FOH/monitoring workflows.
