This sample pad comes with a mere 25 drum and percussion presets and yet offers a practically unrestricted number of sounds, because with a SD card, you can load any sounds onto the device and can then be assigned to and played back via the 4 drum-pads. With the large back-lit display, the uploaded files can be easily viewed and assigned without having to navigate a labyrinth of unnecessary submenus.

This sample pad is an attractive instrument concerning price and quality. Even if its not the most complete of all sample pads, Alesis brought to the average customer a precious object with a huge range of possibilities for almost every sound. The downside is that can be a bit trick when you want to program and insert your own samples in it. make sure you read the instructions and check the online tutorial videos that Alesis made for us.
Good performance with some areas for improvement. very good sound, but with the volume low. Within the price, it is definitely a good choice. To improve the quality should have a midi interface to be able to connect directly to a software.
