Great Percussion Sounds for Any Setup!

The Alesis PercPad is packed with drums, percussion, and electronic sounds to enhance your performances. Since it's so compact, the PercPad easily fits into any drumming setup. It offers four velocity-sensitive pads plus a kick input, so you can creatively work it into your sound. In fact, the PercPad mounts right on a standard snare drum stand, though it's just as convenient on a table (or regular drum stand or rack, using an optional mount). Most importantly, though, the PercPad sounds great. It offers a fine-tuned selection of acoustic and electronic drum and percussion, with a range of world sounds and others that are completely editable - and easy to assign to any pad. A MIDI connection makes the PercPad ready for your MIDI module or comptuer setup too!

Alesis PercPad Features at a Glance:
  • Compact and affordable multi-pad electronic percussion instrument
  • Built-in library of popular acoustic and electronic sounds
  • Four velocity-sensitive pads and a kick input for instant expansion of any drum set or percussion rig
  • Fits a standard snare stand or on a tabletop (mounts on any stand or rack using the Module Mount sold separately)
  • Tune and edit sounds, and assign them to any of the four pads or the kick input
  • MIDI output for use as a controller for triggering sound modules and software
  • Input for a kick pedal
  • Audio Outputs: x 1/4" Main, 1/4" TRS Headphone

Add a new dimension to your drum sound with the Alesis PercPad!

Perc Pad is Perf Pad.....

The Alesis Per Pad does exactly what I need it to do. I am a drummer/ percussionist and needed a real drumming feel and expression while laying down drum tracks in Redrum. I also needed to MIDI up wit... read more [+]h my Yamaha DTX head unit.

The minute I first plugged in, the unit was simple to set up and MIDI note assignment was a snap. The internal voices and patches sound realistic but cheesy (normal for Alesis) I never use the on-board sounds any way. Overall it does what I purchased it to do. close [-]

Great Pad for the $, only a few downsides...

For the price, you really can't beat the versatility of this little guy. All the voices are clear and the modifiable options give each voice a great way to customize a sound. One annoying feature is t... read more [+]hat hitting two pads simultaneously will only give you one output. Not sure if this would be remedied by using the stereo output rather than the mono output, but something to consider. close [-]

So far so good

I set up to be notified when the Percpad was available here on Sweetwater... got the notice last week, jumped on it, and got it yesterday. I'm kind of a noob at this stuff, but so far I like it! I'm a... read more [+] little disappointed at the odd choices for the 25 built-in sounds - I would have liked a few more 'classic', realistic (as opposed to synth) sounds in there, but it'll do. However, I've already hooked it up to my SR-16 drum machine, to make use of the MUCH better sounds there. I can't figure out why the MIDI numbers the Percpad sends don't correspond to the SR-16's sample numbers, but it's probably user error. I'll play more with that tonite.

But so far I'm very happy with this little addition to my studio!
