The Heart of Your Next Electronic Percussion Kit!

Its extensive trigger input matrix lets you hook up eight dual-zone drum pads plus a hi-hat pedal and a kick drum pedal. You won't have to look far for amazing drum and percussion sounds. There are over 200 top-notch sounds onboard to get you started, but you can easily load your own samples on an SD card (up to 32GB cards supported) and create your own custom kits. What's more, extensive connections make integrating your Alesis SampleRack into the rest of your rig easy.

Whether you're connecting the pads from the electronic kit you already own, taking triggers off of your acoustic drums, or cobbling a kit together from scratch, the Alesis SampleRack is the perfect place to start.

Expand your sound collection with built-in SD storage

The SampleRack comes with a solid collection of over 200 totally playable drum, cymbal, and assorted percussion sounds, which you can arrange as you like into dozens of drum kits You even have control over each sound's key attributes, such as pitch, panning, and even reverb.

A single USB connection is all you need to send audio and MIDI between your SampleRack and your computer, making it incredibly easy to integrate with your favorite DAW or sample program.
