Hey Jamie from Alesis...you know what we really need for the Alesis Strike Multipad? Quantize and undo functions for the looper along with the ability to get rid of the count-in and have recording start immediately when a pad is struck. Tempo sync/beat match of loops when imported into kits. Loop start quantize option for samples in a kit. Tempo sync of delay time and other FX parameters. Real-time tuning of samples. There's a few other niggly bits that keep this instrument from being truly great, but if the features listed here could be included in the next 1.4 firmware update, I would be a very happy Alesis user!
I have this, the unit is definitely awesome. This video is extremely deceptive though when the kits change the video is edited. There is no way to automate kit changes, and even so kit change takes anywhere from 4-8 seconds
I just bought one and I’m hoping I can just use it as a drum kit in my little home studio. I don’t need most of its functions, I just don’t have room for a real kit.
I miss my strike multipad, unfortunately the top 3 led lights started malfunctioning , had to send it back to Alesis for warranty repair. Just got tracking number yesterday says it will be here on 24th. They have released 3 firmware updates that have increased the pad functionality immensely since purchasing unit. Hopefully they will continue with those for both strike multipad and strike module. My strike multipad was how I was sampling into my computer for Ableton live. These 6 weeks w/o it have felt like forever. The strike module can also sample, however I think the multipad has better editing functions.
I dished mine! Because of crashes from Cubase...and the responsivness. I swapped it for a real e-drum kit. The Millenium MPS-850...And with succes! I am very happy now!
I’ve been interested in this piece of gear for quite some time now. I was just about to order an Alesis Strike MultiPad Percussion Pad but I need a very important question answered first. I know the Alesis Strike MultiPad Percussion Pad is capable of so much more, but plan to use it as a drum kit. I’m now in a situation where there is a physcial space and volume limitation. I’d rather not buy an electronic drim kit. It would be great to just walk in with this pad, a stand, and a foot and hi hat controller. When the Alesis Strike MultiPad Percussion Pad is used as/like a drum kit, is the hi hat able to be played/controlled closed, half open and sloshy? Or is it just closed or fully open? Thank you!
Question for you?? Have you had any issues with the Alesis Strike Pad after filling up the hard drive with your own samples? I have spent hours loading samples 10 at a time, then hours programming kits, only to find out that once its a bit over 20 gig on the hard drive I lost access to any internal sound factory or user. Can't access the library! So if I try and change a sample it will disappear and I will have no sound on that pad, very frustrating. Have you ever heard of this?? One guy at Alesis recreated the same issue but now no one in the company will talk to me and blame my samples. Everyone of those files plays 100% in Logic, Live & Pro Tools. Oh by the way Alesis was nice to start and have replaced the strike pad several times but won't admit fault with there hardware or software. I have recreated the exact same issue with all software versions 1.1, 1.2 & 1.3??? I would only recommend the Alesis Strike MultiPad to drummers who don't want to add that many samples to the device, they rate it 30 gig + the operating system LOL Once its about 20-22 gig on drive adding a sample is like rolling the dice, it may not function the same after loading samples. Other than that and the top bumper being a harder hit required than the regular pads it has promise if the fix their admitted hard drive access issue!!

I'm definitely getting one mostly for live looping this looks like it can help me with my producing & learning how to drum

Same here. How does the snare sound. Sounds fake on this video. Can you adjust parameters on each drum?
1:58 that sound! I need it

Could i run my Roland aerophone AE30 into it and can you use it as a USB interface for computer
I have it and I love it.
what kind of stands or mounts do they sell for this?
I want this.
👍
Have you bought it, or you still just want it
👊🏾
You call those pads?
Beware! When it breaks, no one will fix it!
As a stand alone guitarist I need foot operated pads. Instead of making my own wooden percussion stomp boxes
No updates, slow loading no thanks. I will go with Roland!!
It’s a piece of garbage
No support. Unable to load your own Sounds on it can’t be done.
So you’re stuck with their sounds
👎👎👎👎
