Just a couple of problems. Latest firmware for Strike Multipad V1.1 has an issue if you use dual trigger external triggers. If you need to adjust the sensitivity and threshold of the head/rim triggers, and you probably will, the multipad has an error that changes your settings when you change kits and then come back. Your saved settings for the triggers get mangled. Trigger sensitivity and threshold are saved at for each kit but changing kits causes saved settings to be changed. This causes false triggers, cross talk and lost hits. I have reported this error to tech support. So far no word on a fix.
Can I record all channels individually at my computer simultaneously using DAW ? I don't want to record on stereo I want to record multitrack.I've heard that it has audio interface built in.
Thinking of buying the Multipad - can you use an e-drum kit to trigger the Multipad sounds, i.e. can you connect the e-drum kit to the multipad and have the multipad sounds when you strike the drums?
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’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 I plan to use it only as a drum kit. I’m now in a situation where there is a physcial space and volume limitation. There’s not enough space for an electronic drum kit. It would be great to just walk in with this pad, a stand, and a foot and hi hat controller. QUESTION: 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? I’ll order one RIGHT NOW if the hi hat can be played/controlled like a hi hat. Thank you!
This is probably too late but yeah there is a high hat function on the pad. all you need is a foot pedal trigger for the hi hat and another for the kick
Why not show how and where you run the cables from the triggers and the microphone into the back of the Alesis. Also describe what kind of cables you're using too. This is what we're looking for. You've proven how it works but not exactly how to get there. We thank you for your time.
Didn't know I could add a mic! that is pure gold! Thanks for this, I will be trying as soon as I get home.

How do I set up the trigger sensitivity etc cause I'm having trouble
What pedal can I use for the hi-hat?
Thanks!
How do I use the roland RD 30 DUAL ZONE WITH THIS PAD

What kind of cables do you need for this to work. I have a strike multipad but dont know what cables i need to trigger acoustic kit
Can I use the Roland KT-9 and KT-10 triggers?

Very cool. So you can use a stereo condenser mic and blend it with your electronics sounds? What about phantom power?

Nope! Not too late at all! I’m actually (finally) going to dive into it next weekend! Thank you Kameron!
So are the sounds assigned to the acoustic drum triggers separate from the sounds assigned to the pads on the multipad?
Can you trigger two sounds from one trigger?

How do you plug in the xlr cables into the alexis? Adapters ?
Yes
