The Juno 106 in the background -the star of the show!

You have to adjust the sensitivity and velocity to stop crosstalk !

Nice review! Thanks for making this! I have been waiting for something like that for ages.

Epic Break down and very nice tune, Cheers Spearfisher!

Thank you. You are a talented cogent reviewer. I'm ordering one today from Zzounds for recording. You got me sold on it.

The four-screw module mount is universal to Roland, Yamaha and Alesis; this particular unit uses that standard but can also accept a longer, rectangular two-screw mount.

Hey nice review man. I got one of these a couple of weeks ago too and it's so cool. Love what you were doing with it on your track at the end of the video. I have the dm10 mount and its fits on the back like a glove! I got to this video through synthtopia and it mentioned in there that the firmware update resolves those issues with the cross talk so I'm gonna get mine updated right now!

AWESOME REVIEW MAN, THANKS! I REALLY DIG YOUR STUFF BTW.

Thank you for making this!

Hey man, I know their might not be a large audience for this suggestion.. But I was hoping you could do a tutorial on how you made the wav file samples and pitched them etc.. Thanks for the videos, they're awesome.

man love your stuff ! how do you loop all instruments? cheers

Haha this was a fun vid. Thanks for the info. It was helpful

Hey bud, thsnks for sharing this video . I should receive my sample pad any day myself . I'm not sure how to create my own or download my own sounds on a SD card . Is there a specific website you download sounds from? . Thanks

Thanks. Where do I get the instrument list (original configuration) ?

sick sticks bro!!

Can you use the sample pad in a drum rack or impulse in ableton. im having a difficult time mapping mine?

Can I load my own samples from Ableton library for instance ?

Great review man thanks! I like the song you play! How do you get that voice sounds effect? Are they actually recorded voice or synth effects?

Hey dude can you help me figure out how to download the samples to the SD card and then how to assign them to pads because no video tells me!

Thanks for sharing ,bro

What type of drum sticks are those? I need them for LIVE performance!

I've had a question that I can't get answered anywhere regarding the sample cross fading (or velocity cross switching - however you prefer to call it) and that is: where the velocity range overlaps between 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 its range...? 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.

hey i really loved the video, i have a question thaat has been driving me crazy and seeing you have so much experince with this kind of thing. i was wondering what you used to give the sound? do i need another amp or are there speakers built in?

Hi! Can you use it as external MIDI controller in order to play VST (for example BATTERY from NI) ?

Do you have this plugged into a computer/laptop to play or can I just play it with it plugged in to a socket in my house?

Great review man, thanks for sharing. Where did you order this from?

where is the other video, you refer to?

jo - i know that there are 10 banks for sets/ kits built in already in memory of SamplePadPro . is it possible to have more banks when you use SD?

Thanks for the video, Spearfisher. Have you tried the midi out on the samplepad pro by chance? If so, can you comment on the quality of it?

im in love......

Hey man love the vid! But I had some questions what sound is on the first pad you hit the top left one? I've been trying to find a sound like that. And also where do you download your sounds from? thanks man!

Where or how did you get/make the sounds that you used for that track. The ones you had on the pads? Thanks!

I love the sample pad pro, you're going to destroy it with those enormous sticks. Might be part of your crosstalk problem too? I mean the sticks are really cool, but too bad they don't make them lighter.

nice glasses buddy, where did u get them and what brand are they?

hi, thank you for your cool review.I'm interested in too and i have a question please? Is it possible te separate the metronome only in headphones and the sample in main out? it would be annoying that both would be in main out. thank you

Hey dude, i play drums with backtracks, can u trigger backtracks in stereo with this?

any dj scratch sounds on there?

He's Chopin broccoli.

great review..Which kits from "I want that sound" would you reccomend? There are so many of them! Also, do you get them in wav format?

thanks a lot!

Them flashy drumsticks! yees

Got mine en route! What is that sexy stand you have your device perched on? Also, to echo Martin's question, how do the pads respond to hand playing? Thanks.

someone could tell me the price and where can I buy

Cool Stand. Where did you get that pad stand ?

Awesome review! Where did you get that stand?

Can you please share where you got that stand for the drum pad???

Hey, thanks for this video. Just wondering if the SamplePad Pro as an in-built ability to loop the sample/sounds you play? Or would you have to attach an external looping pedal?

Hey man, nice video. Where's the stand from? I didn't see comments on this.

Alesis V25 VS Akai MIni MK2?

looks nice :) does it work as a midi controller as well?

hi man ,thanks for the video, :) from where did you get those Led Sticks :) ???

Did you use sd card to thats effects?

Does it have a crosstick sound?

Hey do you need an amp for this

Plzz give me a link to buy a kick pedal and a hihat pedal for that

Hi! Great video, I bought one recently and it has had a few firmware updates so it literally doesn't have crosstalk at all. What is the name of that stand you have in that video?

did you used it as midi controller or sampled from sdhc card

The drumsticks are also included in the unit?

Where can I go to load sounds on my SD card.

Very good my friend. Hugs!

Hi. How do you connect this to the audio interface? Via midi or mono port? For mono there is left and right so do you have buy a dual mono plug?

Hi guy ! Thank you for this great video !!! Please could you give me your opinion of what you think so far of this machine ? Personally I would use for the live to decorate my music. For now it would be simply to add personal samples or use samples with looper (then i do that ?) and not for MIDI . I saw a lot of reviews on the net for guys who have had problems with it and returned to service than it is for you? Do you think this is a good alternative to Roland ? Thank you for your opinion :-)

Hello, is you pass the link where to buy the sticks?

That was fucking dope dude

I want to add some backing synth tracks to my band. Does this work well for that? I want to figure out the world of midi but don't really know where to start.

brother, yet you bought These sticks? the online availability?

so you are recording in build sound through usb midi. do you need a third party software?

Hey Bud, those sounds your playing, are they the Alesis factory sounds or are you using a module? Thanks and Great work Bud

Sticks superb

can you load up a drum rack in ableton and just start playing ? or you can only play off a sd card samples?

Nice video! I'm using the samplepad pro as a add on to my live set up. I'm running it into channel 4 on my DJM 2000 mixer and I'm having a hard time getting any volume out of it. The volume on the unit is all the way up and I've trimmed all the way up on the mixer. Could you give me some help in what I might need to do? Thanks

Is it safe to update alexis sample pad pro with out a sd card??

You're a drummer first, i just imagine myself there., Good video.

I wonder if the sensitivity is set too high and that is causing the cross talk? Perhaps if the sensitivity was turned down just a touch, the cross talk might go away?

can i use it as a midi-keyboard when i play in pro-tools or abletone? and does it have a aequencer?

Now that you've had the Samplepad Pro a while, what are your thoughts? I was thinking of getting one of these just because the Roland and Yamaha ones are so damn expensive. But I haven't seen any reviews or thoughts on the Samplepad Pro after a while of usage.

nice sticks

That cross talk problem, can maybe be fixed by updating it, I have a alesis dm10 drum kit, and there was cross talk with one of the cymbals, but I updated it, and it went away. So try to update it

how much SD card is that is it 16 GB please tell me bro the SD card name

Nice review! Can you play the device with hands? Or with drumsticks only?

Hey man.....is there a cut-off to the length of a sample. Like, could I trigger a 3-minute sample with a single hit?

couple questions, can you use it to trigger samples from abletons drum racks? is their latency if so? or is it only by an sd card?

Question on the top 2 pads (2 smaller top pads - the hi hat or cymbal sounds) those 2 pads. I have the same samplepad. How do you set those 2 pads that you don't have to hit them that hard. I found that i have to hit them pretty hard to make any sound. and then if they do.. it's full volume loud. (there's no soft tap or mid level trigger for the 2 smaller top pads)

Now that you've had this for a bit, what do you think? Are you still getting cross-talk issues or were you able to fix it? I also read that you could not hit two pads at once but that the latest firmware fixed that? Any help / advice would be appreciated. I'm really wanting one of these to use with Ableton and use my own samples. Unfortunately no one makes a great 8 or 10 pad unit (with no sounds) other than Alternate Mode KAT but they are pretty big (and costly)

Great review! Subbed (^0^)

You have dual zone on meaning two sound to a pad go into settings and change it crosstalk maybe try the Settings see if you have dual zone on

where can I get these sticks?)

Hey man, Great video. Have you tried using it to trigger samples in ableton? and if so can you use it just as a midi controller through the USB connection or does it have to be through the MIDI out?

Hi Spearfisher, i'm not sure what is your setup so i'll ask. Are you actually using usb to send the midi datas ? The user manual says that it can do that, but i just want a confirmation. Thanks in advance.

You have dull zone on Meaning u have two sound to a pad go into settings and change it

Can I run the Alesis through my Tascam DP24SD for studio use?

Hey - where did you get the stand for the Alesis?

please view, roland octapad spd 20 pro

HELLO MY tell me that this is SAMPLE IN THAT BATTERY buy one

I agree the tip of the drum stick are to big

ayye so you can hook up this drum pad to ableton and use it as a midi controller right? or do you have to use an sd card to get custom sounds on it

إزاي أضيف اصوات

So does it work good in a studio setup instead of a live set?

where did you get those sticks?

I've experienced incosistency in audio volume with this sample pad. I already changed cables and amplifiers but I wasn't able to solve the issue. What do you think will be a better solution for this? Thanks Sir.
