All products by Alesis Other USB & Midi Pad Controllers by Alesis

The Alesis Control Pad USB/MIDI Percussion Pad Controller is compact and equally effective as a live performance instrument or a studio-based MIDI percussion programming tool. It features 8 velocity-sensitive pads with a responsive rubber surface for excellent stick response and expressive performance, as well as 2 trigger inputs for connecting external pads such as the Alesis Drum Pad and Cymbal Pad expansion kits. The 2 footswitch inputs accommodate open and closed hi-hat, as well as a kick drum for an authentic, realistic percussion performance. Up to 20 percussion setups are stored to internal memory, and users can customize pads and 2 external triggers into individual settings for MIDI channels, note numbers and customized velocity sensitivity and curves. The Control Pad operates on USB power, or with an included A/C power adapter. It comes bundled with a special Alesis proprietary version of BFD Lite, a professional drum module with high-quality acoustic and electronic drum kit libraries.
