E-percussion pad with 7000 sounds and integrated sampler
The Alesis Strike MultiPad is a multifunctional sample pad with 9 velocity-sensitive pads and 7000 internal sounds that can be assigned to the individual pads as well as 32 GB of total storage space. Each of the nine pads is equipped with a bright RGB light that lights up when struck. The 4.3" color display enables convenient and intuitive operation. The integrated sampler can be fed via USB, smartphone, microphone or other audio sources. The Strike MultiPad can also be used as an audio interface with 2 channels. You can also store your own samples in WAV format in the internal memory and assign them to the individual pads, for example via USB.
Five built-in effect processors are used for fast and high-quality processing of the internal and external samples in the Strike MultiPad. Four direct 6.3 mm jack outputs, two headphone outputs with individual routing and five trigger inputs leave nothing to be desired. Another highlight are the two record inputs, which can be used to easily record and sample external audio sources such as a smartphone or computer. Two large Alesis A-Link controls assign individual mixing and effect parameters to the individual pads, and there is also a built-in metronome.
The Alesis Strike MultiPad is a versatile performance tool with an enormous range of functions. With over 7000 pre-installed sounds and a total memory capacity of 32 GB, it offers an unimaginable pool of high-quality drum samples and loops. The nine velocity-sensitive rubber pads are all equipped with an adjustable RGB light, so each pad can be assigned a color of your choice.
The lights on each pad also indicate the velocity and length of the sample. Of course, you can also store your own samples on the MultiPad. This can be done either via the two recording inputs, where any source is simply connected, the integrated microphone or via USB. Using the two A-Link controls and the five integrated effect processors (Tweak, Shade, Color, EQ, Compressor), each sample can be edited and assigned individually. The 4.3" color display promises intuitive operation and simple menu navigation. All samples can take your own performance to a new Level with the built-in loop function.
Music production with the MultiPad
Thanks to the integrated 2-in / 2-out audio interface and the premium software suite, the Strike MultiPad can be used seamlessly both on stage and in the studio. With two USB/MIDI channels and the extensive sound pool, spontaneous ideas and high-quality electronic music can be recorded immediately, as any conventional DAW is easily supported. The Abelton Live Lite software is included, so nothing stands in the way of user-friendly and simple recording of your own ideas.
Perfect for live performances
If you want to enhance your drumming with electronic hybrid sounds or play entire backing tracks as playback during a concert, the Alesis MultiPad is the perfect choice. It integrates perfectly into an acoustic or electric drum setup and significantly enhances the performance. Four separate outputs are available, which can be routed individually. This allows the monitor mix and main out to be clearly separated. The sounds can be routed to the headphone output in conjunction with the Click of the integrated metronome. External MIDI peripherals can be controlled via the MIDI IN/OUT connections. Pads and foot controllers can also be connected externally. There is a single zone trigger input and two Dual zone trigger inputs as well as a Hi-Hat and bass drum controller input. This allows you to develop your drum kit into a hybrid drum kit with electronic pads.
I did extensive research and it seems to live up to the hype. Solid build quality, excellent feeling pads, massive library and extensive features set that will meet everyone's requirements. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a professional quality multipad, particularly for use with your own loops and samples. Now with firmware 1.2 they have resolved the annoying hi-hat issue too, which is great. Only 2 gripes (1 which is quite significant): 1. No software editor!! Roland (SPD-SX) and Yamaha (DTM M12) have had these for ages and they make a HUGE difference to editing and transferring samples. Alesis simply have to sort this out. 2. It arrived with a 2 prong mains plug, which is no use to me in the UK. This is hugely disappointing as you can't plug it in and play, you have to go off and obtain a 3-pin UK plug lead. Not the end of the world, but a bit of a blow when you've been excitedly awaiting delivery for 5 days but then cannot play it out of the box. Can't be hard to include multiple plug adaptors, Ableton manage it with their Push controller.
