The Alesis SamplePad Pro is a compact unit that can easily be mounted to an existing setup. It offers expandable memory and four extra trigger inputs, making it perfect for home production, small gigs, and adding electronic sounds to an acoustic setup.
With eight dual-zone pads, the SamplePad Pro comes with 10 built-in kits and 200 drum and percussion sounds, allowing for quick setup and play. In addition, it can accept 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 ready to play wherever you are.
The SamplePad Pro also features USB/MIDI connectivity, which allows you to connect it to your own VST and recording software. This makes it perfect for producing music in your home studio. Additionally, it comes with the Alesis Multipad clamp, which allows you to integrate it with your drum kit by attaching it to any cymbal stand.
If you’re looking for space for custom sounds, the SamplePad Pro has an SD expansion slot that can accommodate up to 32GB or 512 samples. This gives you plenty of space for a wide range of sounds. It’s also a great percussion MIDI controller for home production, whether you’re laying down a quick beat or triggering loops in your software. It even comes with 10 preset kits and 200 popular drum and percussion sounds ready to play out of the box.
One common issue with sample pads during gigs is visibility, especially in situations with smoke, darkness, and lighting. However, the SamplePad Pro addresses this with blue LED borders around each pad, ensuring that you can always see what you’re hitting. The top two pads are also raised, making them ideal for use as cymbals and other percussive effects due to their ease of use.
For drummers who prefer to use a regular kick pedal and hi-hat controller, the SamplePad Pro accommodates this with its kick and hi-hat switch/trigger inputs. There are also two additional trigger inputs – one single zone and one dual zone – allowing you to set up a super portable e-drum kit.
The SamplePad Pro comes with several features including ten preset kits, a pre-installed library of 200 drum and percussion sounds, the ability to add up to 512 of your own samples and 91 user kits using the SD/SDHC card slot, and the ability to drag and drop samples from your Mac/PC with the USB port without removing the SD card. It also has two kick drum and hi-hat switch/trigger inputs, two additional single and dual-zone trigger inputs, and blue LED lights around the pads for visibility during gigs and in dark rooms. Additionally, it includes a Multipad clamp for easy drum kit integration and the ability to tune and add reverb to your sounds.
The power supply for the SamplePad Pro is 9V DC 500mA Centre-Positive, and it has various inputs/outputs including USB/MIDI, mono/stereo 1/4″ output, 1/4″ headphone output, and trigger in. It also has pad feedback with blue LED pad backlighting and various playback modes such as polyphonic, monophonic, loop, stop/choke. The SD card supports SD/SDHC cards up to 32GB with a FAT32 file system, and it can support 91 user kits and 512 samples per card. The on-board samples include 200 sounds and 10 preset kits, and it supports 16-bit mono or stereo .WAV files with a sample rate of 48K, 44.1K, 32K, 22.05K, or 11.025K.
