The Strike legend

Since the introduction of the Strike and Strike Pro e-drum kits from Alesis, it has become clear what really matters: the Strike kits deliver an authentic playing feel with the responsiveness and realism of classic acoustic drum kits, offering versatility and many creative possibilities. Now the Strike series has a new addition: Alesis Strike MultiPad. With all its capabilities and enormous range of functions, it is a continuation of this legend and has truly earned the name Strike. These are exactly the functions that were previously not even remotely available in MultiPads. Let your imagination run wild with the Alesis Strike MultiPad.

Introducing - Strike MultiPad:

Alesis developed the Strike MultiPad at the request of many drummers and the result now allows you to sample, edit, loop and perform in a seamless way. The Strike MultiPad has more than 7000 pre-installed sounds, a memory capacity of 32 GB and the ability to easily record samples (smartphone, microphone, via the Internet, via USB and via any audio source). The total of 9 velocity-sensitive pads have adjustable RGB light and this can be easily customised to your own taste. Thanks to the RGB light under each pad, the player is guaranteed never to miss a beat - no matter how dark and foggy it is on stage. Strike MultiPad has 5 built-in effects processors and custom effects control, allowing users to easily personalise their sounds and loops. In addition, there are multiple inputs and outputs including a USB audio and MIDI interface, multiple external drum / cymbal triggers and an exclusive 4.3 colour display to provide visual feedback of system status or make changes on the fly. This type of MultiPad is simply unique on the market and offers many creative functions.

Sample. Edit. Loop. Perform:

SAMPLE - Sample anything you want - any sound, any effect, from anywhere. Use your microphone, smartphone, computer USB input or any sound source to record your samples. We've given the MultiPad more than 6 GB of premium sample content so you can get started right away.

EDIT - Edit your samples and loops with the clear 4.3-inch colour display, easy-to-use Select buttons and knobs, A-Link control and five built-in effects processors with Tweak, Shade, Colour, EQ and Compressor for your favourite sample content. Your sounds will be your own and not someone else's.

LOOP - Loop-based recording of your pad performance is now a breeze, even with your recorded samples from your own sound source. Either way, with the Strike MultiPad, looping is already seamlessly integrated into your playing.

PERFORM - Your performance better, faster, with more creativity and with more possibilities than any other MultiPad on the market thanks to nine velocity-sensitive pads equipped with RGB light and displaying velocity, loop length etc. With the RGB light, you'll never miss the beat - no matter how dark and foggy the stage is.
