Onboard stereo sampler

Connect an external audio source (phone, mic, soundboard, or computer), and the Alesis Strike MultiPad is all you need to capture precise stereo samples and loops. From stabs and drum breaks to memes and oddities, the Strike MultiPad’s stereo inputs and mic/line gain adjuster ensure your audio remains true to its source.

USB audio/MIDI interface

Whether you want to capture performances directly as you hear them or control virtual instruments inside your DAW, the Strike MultiPad’s USB port gives you two channels of hi-fi audio for exacting control over drums, chords, and percussion. No external device is required. Connect the Strike MultiPad directly to your Mac or PC and watch it become the centerpiece of your studio setup.

32GB of onboard memory

6GB of immersive onboard sounds are all you need to gig out with the Strike MultiPad. And for players who need custom sounds, the remaining 28GB of memory equip this controller for even large sample libraries.

Whether you’re adding on to your electronic drum kit, turning your acoustic kit into a hybrid setup, or looking for a lightweight electronic kit for grab-and-go gigs, you’re going to dig the Alesis SamplePad Pro. This awesome electronic percussion pad starts off strong with six large dual-zone pads and a pair of raised dual-zone rims plus over 200 killer drum and percussion samples, but it gets even cooler when you consider all the great ways you can expand it to meet your needs. Extra trigger and pedal inputs let you turn the SamplePad Pro into a full kit, whereas SD storage lets you rock out with your own samples.

Alesis SamplePad Pro Electronic Percussion Instrument at a Glance:

• Playable pads plus easy expansion options onboard
• Expand your sound collection with built-in SD storage
• Integrate your samples into any music creation rig

Playable pads plus easy expansion options onboard

In addition to its six main pads, the Alesis SamplePad Pro sports a pair of narrow ridges along the back, bringing the total number of pads up to eight. These eight pads (each framed in blue LED light) already give you enough triggers to cover a decent sized drum kit, but they’re actually all 2-zone sensors, putting a total of 16 sounds at the tip of your sticks from the moment you fire this bad boy up. Need more pads? No problem! There are two additional inputs that let you hook up even more pads. What’s more, you can expand the SamplePad Pro with both a kick pedal input and a hi-hat controller input, allowing you to turn it into a super-portable electronic drum and percussion kit that’s perfect for live performance.

Expand your sound collection with built-in SD storage

The SamplePad Pro comes with a solid collection of over 200 totally playable drum, cymbal, and assorted percussion sounds, which you can arrange as you like into dozens of drum kits. You even have control over each sound’s key attributes, such as pitch, panning, and even reverb. Cooler still, the SamplePad Pro supports up to 32GB SD card media, allowing you to load up a world of your own custom sounds. (By the way, if you need help picking out cool sounds or an SD card, just give your Sweetwater Sales Engineer a call.) Once your sounds are loaded up, it’s easy to set up unique kits that play the way you want them to, thanks to the SamplePad Pro’s simple controls.

Integrate your samples into any music creation rig

Whether you’re using it to trigger sounds to trigger MIDI in the studio or taking it onstage where you can use it to fire off loops and sequences from your drum kit, the connection options onboard the SamplePad Pro make setup easy. A single USB connection is all you need to send audio and MIDI between your SamplePad Pro and your computer, making it incredibly easy to integrate with your favorite DAW or sample program. Traditional 1/4″ outs combined with MIDI I/O accommodate nearly any other kind of rig out there, but the kicker is the combination of a headphone output with a stereo aux input, which lets you rock out to backing tracks, without bugging your neighbors.

Alesis SamplePad Pro Electronic Percussion Instrument Features:

• A versatile electronic instrument that can go from simple pads to a full drum rig
• 8 dual-zone pads (6 pads, 2 rims) are fun to play and highly expressive
