The Alesis SamplePad 4 is a compact unit that can easily be mounted to an existing setup. It is perfect for home production, small gigs, and adding electronic sounds to an acoustic setup. With its four pads, it offers 10 built-in kits and 25 preset sounds, allowing for quick setup and play. Additionally, it accepts up to 32GB of SD card storage space, which means you can store an additional 89 user kits and 512 samples per card. This allows you to have all your essential sounds readily available wherever you are.
The SamplePad 4 also features USB/MIDI connectivity, allowing you to connect it to your own VST and recording software. This makes it perfect for producing music in your home studio. The unit comes with a module mount for easy setup anywhere, and it is also available with a MultiPad clamp for fixing it to stands on your drums.
One of the great features of the SamplePad 4 is its ample space for custom sounds. With its SD expansion slot, you can load up all your own samples, making it ideal for gigging. It also serves as a compact MIDI controller for home production, whether you’re creating beats or triggering loops in your software. If you’re looking to play immediately, there are 10 preset kits and 25 popular percussion sounds ready to go out of the box.
Visibility during gigs can be an issue with regular sample pads, especially with smoke, darkness, and different lighting conditions. That’s why the Alesis SamplePad includes blue LED borders around each pad, ensuring you can always see what you’re hitting. The top two pads are also raised, making them great to use as cymbals and other percussive effects due to their ease of use.
If you’re a regular drummer, you may want to use a regular kick pedal or connect additional trigger pads. The SamplePad 4 allows for this through its two additional trigger inputs, which can connect any single or dual-zone trigger pad.
The specifications of the SamplePad 4 include a weight of 1.2KG, a height of 6.4cm, a width of 26cm, and a depth of 19.1cm. It requires a power supply of 9V DC 500mA Centre-Positive. The inputs/outputs include USB/MIDI Input/Output, Mono/Stereo 1/4” Output, 1/4” Headphone Output, and Trigger In. The pad features blue LED pad backlighting for visibility during gigs and in dark rooms. It also offers various playback modes such as polyphonic, monophonic, loop, stop/choke. The SD card slot supports SD/SDHC cards up to 32 GB with a FAT32 file system. Each card can hold 91 user kits and 512 samples.
