Multi-pad tool for working with samples
Customize your drum or percussion lineup by adding your own unique sounds.
Adding your own sounds to your drum or percussion set has never been so easy.
SamplePad is a compact four-pad instrument that gives you access to an unlimited palette of sounds. With 25 built-in electronic percussion and drum sounds and the ability to record any sound using a standard SD card, SamplePad lets you get the sound you want into your drum pad. SamplePad will simplify the way you expand your existing drum kit with a trigger input and the ability to mount this instrument on virtually any rack or stand.
The compact size is convenient for all
The SamplePad fits almost anywhere, making it suitable for drummers and instrumentalists who want to incorporate sample sounds into their playing. It's like adding another drum to your kit: mount the SamplePad on a standard small drum stand, or attach it to any rack or stand using the Alesis Module Mount system (sold separately). For studio use, the SamplePad can simply be placed on a table.
The SamplePad is the exact opposite of those heavy, awkward and unmanageable instruments. It is designed with the smallest size in mind, easy to operate, offering exactly what you need. It gives you access to hundreds of your own sounds, plus provides 25 in-demand percussion and drum sounds.
Essential sounds
SamplePad features a suite of acoustic and electronic drum and percussion sounds that caters to any discerning drummer or percussionist. These sounds are now standard in every drummer's register. You can also assign any pad or even a bass drum pad to these sounds. In SamplePad you will find pre-made acoustic and electronic drum sounds, as well as Latin American and Asian percussion sounds that will perfectly complement your kit.
Plug your SamplePad into your speakers, PA or recording system using the standard dual 1-inch outputs, and play it as an audition to your favorite headphones. The bass drum pad input is compatible with most pads and triggers, including DMPads and RealHead Kick Pads.
Intelligent control
With ControlPad's easy-to-use interface, you won't have to navigate through endless menus and categories to get to the sound you're looking for. Simply press the pad you want to change, set the sound you want and that's it. When you discover an unexpectedly great combination of sounds you want to play together, simply define them as a kit and SamplePad will save it for easy archiving.
