Inspired by acoustic handspans, Mood Pan is a unique electronic percussion instrument that encourages anyone to discover the restorative power of music. The simple design and intuitive layout require no previous musical skills to play, making it easy to explore serene sonic textures through its expressive pads. Simply place it in your lap and tap the pads to float away on a cloud of calm and soothing tonalities.

Sonic Explorer

Mood Pan is made for mindful creators and modern musicians seeking a versatile and expressive new instrument. It blends the soulful resonance of acoustic handspans with multiple sound variations and other flexible features made possible with Roland’s advanced percussion technology. While many musical instruments require learning and skill development, Mood Pan can be enjoyed by everyone, with no experience or special technique necessary.

Modern Versatility

Mood Pan’s electronic design offers many benefits over traditional handspans, empowering you to create, perform, and practice without limitations. Explore different instruments and tunings, enhance sounds with unique effects, and silence the onboard speaker by plugging in headphones for quiet solo sessions.

Tap and Connect

Mood Pan is played with your fingers, directly connecting you with sound. The nine pads can be assigned to different musical scales, making it impossible to hit a wrong note. It’s also possible to play the sides with your palms to create percussive sounds and resonant tonalities. Glide through expressive aural journeys by tapping spontaneous melodies, muting sounds with a touch, and using the special control pad to add expressive colors to certain tones. 

Soothing Sounds

With Mood Pan, you can change the sound at any time. Select a traditional handpan sound, or call up other acoustic percussion such as tongue drum, gamelan, crystal bowl, or singing bowl. There’s also a sitar voice for exploring Indian textures, orchestral strings, synth pad tones, and four user locations with selectable sound variations.

Serene Soundtracks

Mood Pan includes environmental music and nature sounds for background and playing along, along with four modes that provide tranquil sounds for mornings, evenings, relaxing, and yoga sessions. It also doubles as a high-quality Bluetooth speaker for streaming music from your favorite mobile devices.

Mood Pan Plus

The Mood Pan Plus app is the perfect partner to extend your Mood Pan experience. Adjust the onboard sounds to your taste, choose different environmental sounds and effects, and fine-tune the pads for your personal touch. The app also includes additional sounds that you can load into Mood Pan’s four onboard user locations.
