Alesis Sample Pad Pro Percussion Pad With Onboard Sound Storage

The SamplePad Pro is a perfect add-on to a live drum set for special effects or for incoprporating electronic drum sounds into acoustic set. It is also an excellent studio tool, and can be used for MIDI input when programming drum tracks. Having a responsive pad instead of tapping rhythms in with two fingers from a keyboard make a tremendous difference in feel and dynamics. If have some stick technique, all the better. The SamplePad Pro is an all-in-one percussion and sample-playing instrument. It comes equipped with 8 responsive, LED-illuminated rubber pads and 10 preset kits. Use an SD or SDHC card (not included) up to 32GB to store an additional 20 user kits and 512 samples per card. The convenient USB connection allows to drag and drop samples from Mac or PC without removing the SD card from the SamplePad Pro. Tweak each sample as please: built-in reverb, pitch, panning and sensitivity adjustment allow full creative expression. Two additional pad inputs, plus kick and hi-hat inputs, allow to expand setup into a full-blown compact e-drum kit. With an optional module mount, USB MIDI, 5-pin MIDI, and an 1/8" audio input for playing along to favorite tracks, the SamplePad Pro integrates seamlessly into existing acoustic or electronic drum kit setup.Customize.
