I Turned my SPD SX Pro into a Cajon 

I turned my SPD SX Pro into a Cajon after finding that cajon drums are quite limited in terms of the sounds that they create and also just generally with them sounding a bit like tables in my opinion. I decided therefore to setup my Roland Spd sx pro just like a cajon but angling it downwards, so I could theoretically sit on a drum stool and play just the SPD in the same way I'd play a cajon drum but with far more options in terms of tone, dynamics and not having to bring any microphones or stands to a small gig. This is an in-depth look at the process for setting up the Pro in a different way to normal, my thought process from start to finish and also a close look at how I've designed a patch which aims to replicate the sounds and textures of an acoustic cajon.
After finding standard cajon bass and snare samples on the SPD SX Pro, I move to find more unusual sounds but which compliment the main sounds. I include Udu or Pot drum sounds, a cowbell, jam block, splash cymbal, shaker and even chimes.
I go in detail about how I tweak settings such as equalising some of the bass tones to give more low and mid range, adding multi effects onto the pads to give more character, including adding a reverse reverb to the cowbell, giving it an unusual "sweep" sound.
I also add reverb as a Master effect to the entire sampling pad, for a little more *insert French word*.
