Designed to bring acoustic percussion, electronic textures and sample playback into a single performance surface, the Ludwig LED104 Total Percussion Multi-Pad functions as a compact control center for modern drummers and producers. Its onboard sound library includes more than 2,000 voices spanning world instruments, mallet tones, electronic sounds and FX, while dual-zone pads and layered architecture support expressive playing. With real-time effects control, expandable pad inputs and USB connectivity for Mac and Windows systems, the LED104 integrates easily into live and studio environments. Layered Dual-Zone Pads With Flexible Sound Routing The LED104 features four onboard dual-zone pads, each capable of triggering up to two layered sounds. Pads can also be linked to blend as many as four sounds simultaneously, allowing players to build composite hits or coordinated textures across the surface. This routing flexibility supports dynamic playing styles while keeping control intuitive under the sticks. Performance-Oriented Effects With Real-Time Control Sound shaping is organized around performance rather than deep menu navigation. Each preset includes three kit effects, with one active effect assigned to a dedicated control dial for real-time adjustment. This setup allows players to shape ambience, modulation or processing changes during a set without interrupting timing or flow. Expandable Inputs for Hybrid Percussion Rigs Beyond its onboard pads, the LED104 includes four dual-zone expansion pad inputs and two footswitch jacks for hands-free control. Hi-hat mode enables compact kit-style configurations, making the Multi-Pad adaptable to hybrid acoustic-electronic setups in both stage and rehearsal environments. Sample Import and Kit Management via Desktop App Custom samples, loops and backing tracks can be imported and managed using the included desktop application for Windows and macOS. The app provides a centralized interface for organizing sounds and presets, handling file formatting automatically to keep kits ready for performance. Reliable Construction for Consistent Performance Built with regular transport and setup in mind, the LED104 reflects Ludwig’s long-standing focus on durability and consistency. Responsive pads, stable connections and a performance-focused lat support repeated use in studios, rehearsal spaces and live settings, making the Multi-Pad a dependable centerpiece for modern percussion workflows.
