The question i have is, if i use drum kits i have from plug-ins with my DAW, can i just use those sounds like i would with a midi controller? Simple click and play?
Hi, Ariel. You would absolutely be able to use this controller to trigger virtual instruments in a DAW. You would just need to connect the unit to the computer via USB or to a MIDI interface to get the MIDI information into the computer. Thanks for your interest!

It's not dual zone pads, its dual tone or sounds at the same time on a pad. That's not the same as layered sounds. Dual zone would be different sounds hitting a different part of the pad. Another review said that pad 1 does support dual zone for rim and center hits of dual trigger pads.
Yeah... "dual zone" doesn't mean "layered". Both your site description, the text here AND the gentleman on the video are misleading the customer when they use this term. "Dual zone" means that a different areas of a specific pad will trigger different sounds when hit. For example, a cymbal pad; hit the face: one sound. Hit the edge: a different sound. These pads are "layered". You can assign (2) sounds to each pad, but which one is triggered depends on velocity, not area hit. Light hit: one sound (or both). Hard hit: another (or both). In short, these are SINGLE zone pads. All of them. It even says so in the product manual. An educated consumer is your best customer, Sweetwater.
Blogspierre They probably made the Users guide universal, because, Dual zone are for Sample Rack Rim and Head 2 sound velocity switch sound each Zone, 4 sound per input trigger, and Hihat 16 sound velocity switch sound with SD card. With SD card you can store up to 89 kit not 20..for both Sample pad pro and Sample Rack.
Gibberish. If the pad has ONE area, it's single zone. If it has 2 areas, it's dual-zone. The manual is specific to this one device, and it says "single-zone pads".
Hi, first of all I'd like to thank you for this video which not only motivated me to buy one of these about a year ago but also helped me a great deal when I had to program the kit so I could load the sounds of my SD card in it. I managed to make good use of it without any stand but now I feel limited and need more space for my arms to move and hit the pads proparly. I was advised to use a multipad stand but I see you're using a snare stand in this demonstration. Can you tell me what kind of stand you used and if you have any advise regarding this (angle of the pad, height etc. ) ?
very good, I understand that only brings 10 internal kits. And how many kits can be created or increased? I have an SPD-SX and it brings 100 kits, I await your answer, regards
hahaha... i loved "your sounds" .... doesnt sound anything like a kontakt librarie!!! .... Still a nice demo!!! but it would be better with some editor software!!!
Been nice to have seen the velocity setting being used to cross-switch the 2 voices that can be assigned to a pad at different velocity levels and velocity overlaps. I've had a question that I can't get answered anywhere regarding the sample crossfading, and that is: when the velocity range overlaps between the 2 samples assigned to one pad, does the lower sample fade out at the end of the overlap and, conversely, the upper sample fade in at the beginning of the overlap or do the sample volumes stay the same and the appropriate sample simply cuts out when out of it's range...? Capiche? I have the sample rack pro and what I'm hearing is a cut off, not a fade in or out. This is not good if it is the case and I really wish Alesis would fix it with an update. Thanks for the video.
Can you guys teach us how to set up an HH trigger so that it links to a pad (ie Pad #7) so that it gives that pad the open/close effect? As of now, they act like 2 separate triggers and don't seem to be linked.
Don't buy this one. Trust me, me and my cousin got one each last week. My pad stopped triggering and it triggers the pad next to it. My cousins unit doesn't even power on anymore. I'd save your money and get something better.
i loved the end of this video with the crowd applause and waving ahha . 100% want to get one of these! I prefer the idea of big pads I can hit with anything rather than tiny finger pads most controllers have..and with this i could just practice anywhere record my sessions into loops which i can then arrange in my daw.. this is perfect for what I need! and can do live amen drumming!
A question for folks who OWN this if I may...it is about connecting the kick pedal. On the 2 previous 8 pad Alesis units (Roland SPD style) there was NO WAY to free up the pad on the unit when using the kick trigger. What I mean is that the Lower Left pad was the Kick on all the setups. You would think that once you connected a Kick Pad to the Kick Pad Jack that the unit would free up the pad that was used for the kick, but it never did, There was NO WAY to use that Lower Left pad for anything but the kick, which was stupid and what kept me from purchasing the Alesis AND Roland units. I see that the newest Roland SPD-30 has the ability to free up that pad, but it also cost $500... If anyone can verify that when the Kick Pad Jack is used ALL the pads are free, or not, it would be EXTREMELY appreciated!
Well, if I set a memory WAV sample in an Octabe, save it, get out the memory or pad it, and then turn on or off the memory again, will I get back the sample or sound I left in the Octabe or will I have to rebuild it?
@@arando4359 what computer ? You upload sounds from sd card. The question is : Can you play the full lenght of a track sample (Like 5 minutes) after 1 hit , like backing tracks. Because in reviews on Amazon dudes are saying you can only upload sounds that are few seconds long.
Hello, AeonSynth! Yes indeed! This is direct from the manual: To adjust the volume level of a sample: Strike a pad or ext. trigger. Move the cursor to the LEV (Level) area by pressing the Cursor Up or Cursor Down buttons. Then press the Cursor Left or Cursor Right button to adjust the level. [0-10] Thanks for the interest!

Yes. You will need a 1/4 to RCA Cable set. The Alesis unit is Line level output, so you can plug it into any of your 800's "Line Level" inputs. Do NOT use the Phono inputs.

I bought one of these pads & am really surprised at how long it takes to load your own sample sets. If you need to change samples for different songs in a live show then this is unusable. Next step is to sell this and buy the Yamaha SPD.
Hey! i just bought a samplepad pro 8 , I must hit too hard the pads to get a sound out of it even if it is set sensitive in 5, en upper pads sensitive is set to 8 and i have the same feel
