So how can this be used as a compact kit as 6 of the 9 pads are being used and leaves only 3 pads for toms, kick, cymbals etc?
Thanks man! Your video on these updates is what I was looking for.
Enjoy! 🤘
More sounds please! I owned this with a roland at the same time. This blew the roland out of the water!
1.3 has been out for a while now and still there is not software to edit the kits and sounds in the module. I had to add 40 kits for a band I am joining. Each song a new kit.. Took ages to enter all the bloody names of the songs with the dial. I want to be able to edit or create a kit, navigate and finds sounds for it and name it from a PC.
Thanks for the tutorial, it’s What was looking for, I think the next upgrade should be to use wave A and Wave B in orden to use less pads for this same hi hat feature, so instead of using 3 or 6 pads we could reduce it to 2 or 3, I don’t know, sounds Like a Great update, quick question, why you used pads 1,2 and 3 and then jump to 7,8 and 9??
Just bought one. Can you recommend a kick pedal and a snare?
I am a synth guy but I'd like to use this as a small drum kit.
Hi @CARV.R you're wrong. You need to use a TS cable and not a TRS cable. It doesn't work with a TRS cable but it does (more or less, it's really hard to get to the pads in the middle) with a TS. You can probably adjust a bit from the menu the open/close position but it doesn't seem to do much...
Any chance you could use the external pad outputs (even if no pads are connected) for building out this grouping? Does the multipad allow you to select the external pad through the UI if nothing is connected?
Would be super nice to keep the main pads open and map this hi-hat grouping to an external hi-hat pad.
At this time, you can only access the external pads when there is something connected to those ports. This feature request has already been submitted to the Alesis team. 😌
@@CARV.R Thanks for the response. This would be a very nice feature for variable trigger groups; I'll keep an eye out for any firmware updates. In the meanwhile, I suppose you could hook up some piezo disks to enable those ext-pad-in's 😅 Just pulled the trigger on a Multipad - your demos definitely sold me on the product!!
@@treymosley2714have you attempted the external trigger method you've suggested above? If so, how did it go/what did you learn? I just picked up a SMB and would try if you'd had some success. Thanks!
Hi, can you incorporate a chic sound in addition to the 6 grouped pads for the hi hat? And can you trigger a chic sound from a semi open position? I have mine working but i can only trigger the chic from a fully open position. Reason i’m asking is i want to choke the semi open HH sounds using the chic. Right now, I can only choke the fully open HH.
Does the multipad work with the original DM10 hi-hat pad and pedal together like they would on the DM10 module? In terms of expression?
They are not compatible, the pad may work on its own but not with a Hi Hat stand.
@@CARV.R Thanks. Do you happen to know if compatibility with the multipad together with the Alesis DM10 hi-hat pad (and hi-hat footpedal) could be an option for a future update?
@@TheReal_Animale Not 100% sure, companies implement new features depending on how much demand there is for them, so if there's only a handful of people asking, then most likely not. You can check Alesis online forums and see if it's popular but I haven't heard of it. it's not even compatible with the Hi-Hats on the new Alesis flagship kits so 🤷♀️
@@CARV.R Thx. Your last remark answers the last question I had. It's weird they didn't make a pretty useful DMpad compatible with this Multipad, but did with the RealHat pedal.
I think they don't want to cannibalize on this feature regarding their Strike e-drum sets because so many people still possess older DM parts, but still a pity. I'm curious to see what the next update brings.
Good morning! Does anybody knows if Alesis strike pad have tempo synch, in order to change tempo to the internal loop and layer functions also, in order to have two sounds sample in one pad? Please let me know cause I'm interested to buy this instrument! Thanks a lot in advance! Cheers from Italy!
wait hows it basically " a drum kit" as you say at the end if all the pads are now dedicated to the HH?? ?
You don't need to use all of the pads, that's only if you really want a lot of definition out of your hi-hat, you can also connect five external triggers to the back of the multipad, so yes it's essentially a full drum kit if you use the back ports aswell
@@CARV.R ok yeah. Assuming one wants natural, expressive HHs, then it takes up the all the pads. That’s a bummer but I guess maybe that’s what this price point can offer.
@@CARV.R do you happen to know of another option, perhaps in combination with this that would allow for expressive HHs and keep a some pads available? Without being too much more expensive.. can the same concept work here but on a different sample pad with multiple zones or whatever? Does one of those 5 external inputs only allow for basically one instrument (while the expressive HH is being treated like a dif one for each type of expression..)? New to percussion/ sample pads, so idk abt that all. Thnx
Hello there:)!! Do you know if I can record as a midi signal the internal sounds of the Alesis Strike multipad? I really appreciate your help:) Thanks!!
Can you rephrase your question? Not sure I understand, Thanks!
Very interesting!
I'm curious, though - can you get the same functionality with a single pad? Like, put an open sound on A, a closed sound on B, and then have them switched by the hi-hat pedal?
Thanks for the video!
It doesn't work that way. If you only want to use one pad on the kit, try putting the sounds on the foot controller inputs. Put them in the same group, it should work I have tried it before! You need to have a foot controller connected to access those triggers, so just plug something in so you can access those zones. Hope this helps!
@@CARV.R thanks for the quick reply!
I already returned my multipad a few weeks ago, so I don't have one to play with anymore.
If it can't do single-pad hi-hat functionality, it's not the right choice for me, unfortunately. I'll keep an eye on the firmware updates (assuming there might be more), and if it changes, I'm all over it!
thanks again!
@@CARV.R what are the chances of a video tut on the set up you are referring to here?
@@michaeldavis1610 There's is walkthrough guide on the Alesis Forums that was posted! It's pretty thorough, I'd check that out 🤘
Dan Gottesman now they have it as one pad functionality with the new update 1.2
USB stick has to be formated in FAT32
It is really bad that the realhat pedal is discontinued :(
They're not discontinued. Distributors are probably out of stock due to manufacturing delays because of Covid.
@@CARV.R Well, that's what the Alesis official web page says about it (Discontinued): www.alesis.com/products/view/realhat-pedal
By the time you were finished stacking nine hat samples, it looked like the pedal was only selecting three of them: one closed and two mostly open. Regardless, can you then dedicate that stack to a single pad and use the other eight pads for other drums and cymbals?
That's because I was releasing the hi-hat pedal too fast and it ran through the sounds all the way up to the open sounds really quickly. You cannot, if you want multiple hi-hat sounds you have to use multiple pads. I would recommend just making a simple three sound stack with the bottom three pads, then you have full usage of the other six pads and external triggers.
@@CARV.R thanks for the reply and the tutorial!
Hi chris, is the alesis pedal the only hi hat pedal work with the strike multipad? How bout roland and yamaha? Thanks
FD8 and FD9 Roland pedals are not recommended. Yamaha hardware is typically proprietary to their modules. Kat Percussion is another company that could work besides the Alesis Real Hat Pedal.
Can you use roland hi hat controller with this strike multipad?? I know you could use the kick controller but i dont know about the hi hat
The FD8 and FD9 will not work for the "Chick" portion. They are proprietary to the Roland modules they come with.
Cristian Carver thanks for a quick reply.... ah i see i see. So roland one only will do open and closed, not the chick sound..... right?? Also, roland kick kd9 would work with this unit??
Lastly, ive been looking into alesis hi hat controller on amazon. Will dmhat hi hat controller would work on this unit right??
Thanks for the reply once again Cristian!
@@jameskim7132 All of that is correct 🤘
Cristian Carver oh man... thanks alot Cristian!! This is a great help!! Dmhat hi hat would do the chick sound too right??
If it does, im making an order right away for this unit!!
@@jameskim7132 Real Hat Pedal or the the DM Pedal will work just fine
Chris, what kick pedal do you recommend? What input do I connect it to? and how do I assign it a kick drum sample?
Also, on the hi hat, I just want to use ONE pad for my hi hat. When I press down on the pedal, I want a single closed sound and when the pedal is up, a single open sound.
BTW, I’d prefer a fully electronic kick pedal without a beater (I.e. beaterless) but if all that is available/recommended is something like:
The Alesis V2 Kick Pad Pack (DMPad kick drum pad and DMPedal single pedal) then please let me know.
Does the Roland KT-10 kick drum pedal work with the Multipad???
I ended up buying the Alesis Hi-Hat pedal and Roland KT-10 Kick Pedal. The KT-10 is expensive but AMAZING! Incredibly smooth and quiet. Of course, all works great with the Multipad. I also have two of the Roland BT-1 triggers which adds two additional pads to the Multipad’s 9. I configured an acoustic kit with snare, snare rim, hi-hat open/close, 3 toms, a ride edge, a tambourine, a cowbell and of course a kick drum. Very nice and compact kit.
Hello how can i to tune a sound ?
Sound > Edit > Pitch. Press copy to to user with the encoder if you are trying to alter a stock sound.
can we adjust the loop tempo ..on board or while playing ??????
Not as of update 1.3....Fingers crossed for a 1.4!
@@egodeathbliss is there any possibility to get this feature in future ???
Roland FD-9 Hi-Hat Control Pedal and
Roland KT-10 Kick Trigger Pedal are compatible to Alesis Strike Multipad?
Amr Shaker I have that same question. Also waiting for a reply.
I have the older Roland FD-8 Hi-Hat Pedal. It works with the Alesis Multipad, but I added 4 hi-hat sounds and was only able to get 3 sounds out of it. I moved and changed the groups, etc.. and still only got 3 sounds not 4, but it works great. Maybe the newer FD-9 or later will get you more sounds. I also have the Roland KT-10 kick pedal and it works great and I hooked up my Roland pd-120 and pd-125 as a snare and it works great, but not a lot of variation in sound velocity. When I hit the Roland snare, maybe 3 levels of sound difference. I also hooked up a Boss dual foot switch FS-5 - works.
@@technicolorblue99 I think that I have to order Alesis products to be full compatible for Strike multipad
@@technicolorblue99 Won't work with Roland pedals. Will work with Yamaha pedals if you swap the ring and tip connections in the TRS cable
The Roland KT-10 Kick works perfectly. The FD-9 does not. I have both of these pedals and those are my results.
Sorry but it doesn't work at all. I bought the recommended Pedal (peyed a lot money and waited really long till Alesis was sending this Pedal, because you can not buy it regular). But it just switches between the first and the last pad. If your really lucky, it sometimes reaches one of the pads in the middle. But this does not happen while regular playing. In fact it doesn't work at all as shown in the video. So please don't say "Now you can have like an acoustic drummer", if it really doesn't work!
You are a nice girl
Thank You. Feel free to venmo me $100. @CristianCarver
More sounds please! I owned this with a roland at the same time. This blew the roland out of the water!
