Alesis Strike MultiPad Drum Multi-Pad

The Alesis Strike MultiPad is a 9-Trigger Percussion Pad with RGB backlighting, sampler, looper, on-board 2-in/2-out sound card, sample loading via USB thumb drives, and a radiant 4.3-inch display.

First, the Alesis Strike and Strike Pro electronic drum kits did what no electronic kits had ever done before: they delivered an authentic drumming experience with all the responsiveness and tonal realism of your favorite acoustic drums, but also with the versatility and creative possibilities that only the very best electronic drums can deliver. The percussion universe would never be the same. Now the universe of electronic percussion pads has been rocked with a seismic shift that is off the scale: Here is the Strike MultiPad from Alesis. The first percussion pad incredible enough to earn the Strike name. A percussion pad like no other. Time to throw out your preconceived notions. It's time to unlock your imagination.

Introducing Strike MultiPad

Alesis designed the Strike MultiPad around the drummer's requirement to be able to sample, edit, loop and perform in a seamless manner. To that end, the Strike MultiPad offers an incredible 7000+ built-in sounds, 32GB of storage and the ability to record samples from any source (smartphone, mic, off the internet, via USB, from virtually any other audio device). The nine velocity-sensitive pads have customizable RGB lights and are easily configured for maximum playing convenience. Center stage on the Strike MultiPad is an Alesis-exclusive 4.3" color screen to make checking system status or performing edits a snap. This kind of total percussive firepower is simply not available anywhere else, even in multiple units.

Sample. Edit. Loop. Perform.

Sample anything you want -- any sound, any effect, from anywhere. Use your mic, your phone, your computer, USB input or another audio device to capture live or pre-recorded samples, even off the internet. Alesis even include 6GB+ of premium in-demand content to get you going.

Edit your samples and loops with the radiant 4.3-inch color screen, easy-to-use selectors & encoders, A-Link controls and the five built-in effects processors -- tweak, shade, color, EQ and compress to your heart's content. Your sounds will really be your sounds, and no one else's.

Loop-based recording of your pad performance is a snap, either from the samples you created, or from an external input. Either way, with Strike MultiPad looping can be seamlessly integrated into your playing.

Perform better, faster, with more creativity and with more content, versatility and capability than any other drum pad anywhere. With nine velocity-sensitive pads, outfitted with customizable RGB lighting that display velocity, loop length and more, you can be certain you never miss a beat no matter how dark or foggy the stage is.
