Alesis Strike Multi-Pad: 9-Pad Performance Module

First the amazing 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 favourite 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. The first percussion pad incredible enough to earn the Strike name.

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 customisable RGB lights and are easily configured for maximum playing convenience. Centre stage on the Strike MultiPad is an Alesis-exclusive 4.3” colour screen to make checking system status or performing edits a snap.

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. We even include 6GB+ of premium in-demand content to get you going.

EDIT your samples and loops with the radiant 4.3-inch colour screen, easy-to-use selectors & encoders, A-Link controls and the five built-in effects processors - tweak, shade, colour, 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 customisable 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.

The Strike MultiPad effortlessly integrates into your existing setup thanks to its arsenal of inputs and outputs. Route your metronome or any sound independently to (4) TRS ¼” audio outputs, (1) ¼” TRS Headphone output or (1) 1/8” TRS Headphone output. Control and connect your peripheral MIDI-compatible equipment with the 5-pin MIDI in and out ports. Connect source audio to (2) ¼” TRS Audio inputs for limitless sampling potential. Expand your performance with additional trigger inputs – (1) single zone and (2) dual zone, plus TRS HH and footswitch inputs.

Strike MultiPad seamlessly transitions from a stage essential to a studio-centric goliath thanks to an on-boar 2-in/2-out audio interface and premium software suite for immediate out-of-the-box potential.
