Inspired by acoustic handpans, the Mood Pan is a unique electronic percussion instrument that invites everyone to discover the soothing power of music. Its simple design and intuitive interface require no prior musical skills, making it easy to explore serene sound textures via its expressive pads. Simply place it on your lap and tap the pads to let yourself be carried away by a cloud of calm, soothing tones.
Sound Explorer
The Mood Pan is designed for mindful creators and modern musicians looking for a new, versatile, and expressive instrument. It combines the deep resonance of acoustic handpans with multiple sound variations and other flexible features made possible by Roland's advanced percussion technology. While many musical instruments require learning and mastery, the Mood Pan is accessible to everyone, with no experience or special technique required.
Modern Versatility
The Mood Pan's electronic design offers many advantages over traditional handpans, allowing you to create, play, and practice without limits. Explore different instruments and tunings, enrich your sounds with unique effects, and mute the built-in speaker by plugging in headphones for quiet solo sessions.
Touch and Connect
The Mood Pan is played with your fingertips, connecting you directly to the sound. The nine pads can be assigned to different musical scales, ensuring you never play a wrong note. You can also play the sides with the palm of your hand to create percussive sounds and rich tones. Let yourself be carried away on expressive sonic journeys by tapping out spontaneous melodies, muting the sound with a simple touch, and using the dedicated control pad to add expressive nuances to certain tones.
Soothing Sounds
With the Mood Pan, you can change sounds at any time. Choose a traditional handpan sound or explore other acoustic percussions such as tongue drum, gamelan, crystal bowl, or singing bowl. You will also find a sitar voice to discover Indian tonalities, orchestral strings, synthesizer pads, and four customizable sound slots.
Serene Soundtracks
The Mood Pan offers ambient music and nature sounds to accompany your tracks, as well as four modes providing soothing atmospheres for morning, evening, relaxation, and yoga. It also serves as a high-quality Bluetooth speaker to stream music from your favorite mobile devices.
Mood Pan Plus
The Mood Pan Plus app is the ideal companion to enhance your Mood Pan experience. Customize the built-in sounds, choose from different ambient sounds and effects, and adjust the pads for a unique experience. The app also includes additional sounds that you can load into the four user slots built into the Mood Pan.
