The Alesis Strike MultiPad is a sampling percussion pad designed for players who want one unit that can trigger sounds, record samples, build loops, and run as a USB audio/MIDI interface. It’s equally at home on an acoustic kit as a hybrid add-on, on a percussion rig, or on a desk for writing and production. With 9 velocity-sensitive pads (with RGB lighting), a 4.3" colour display, a large built-in sound library, and flexible routing to main/aux outputs, it’s a practical solution for live sample hits, backing loops, one-shot FX, and full kit-style setups. Key Features 9 velocity-sensitive pads with custom RGB lighting 4.3" colour display for clear kit overview and fast edits 32GB internal storage with over 6GB / 8,000+ included samples and loops Built-in sampler (record from external audio sources and build your own kits) USB sample import (WAV import + kit backup via USB drive) Built-in audio looper for live looping from pads or external inputs 5 onboard effects processors (kit FX + master processing including EQ/comp) Two A-LINK knobs for assignable control over effects/mix parameters 2-in / 2-out USB audio interface + USB MIDI Expandable I/O: external triggers, hi-hat pedal input, and dual footswitch inputs Flexible audio routing (send metronome/sounds to separate outputs) Why Choose the Strike MultiPad? Hybrid kit friendly: add claps, 808s, percussion layers, backing loops, and FX to an acoustic setup without dragging a laptop on stage. Sample and play fast: capture sounds, trim them, assign to pads, and get to the gig with minimal faff. Proper connectivity: dedicated main and aux outs, headphone monitoring, trigger expansion, MIDI, and USB audio make it easy to slot into almost any setup. Performance control built in: pad colours, A-LINK knobs, and per-pad routing help you keep a set moving without menu-diving.
