With nine velocity-sensitive trigger pads, an exhaustive 6GB stock sample library, and an onboard sampler and USB memory stick port to create and import your own sonic textures, the Alesis Strike MultiPad is a feature-rich and space-conscious drum controller for the stage and studio. Onstage, there are loads of stock acoustic and electric kits and five onboard FX processors to home in on the perfect tone for your music. And in the studio, you get exacting MIDI control over your favorite virtual instruments within the Ableton 10 Live Lite DAW/performance environment (included) to create sets and capture performances. Hands on, one of the Strike MultiPad's best features is its raised back pads, which offer unbridled access to hi-hats, claves, and more. Customizable LED lights per each pad complete the look.
