The Alesis ControlPad USB/MIDI Percussion Pad Controller is a compact live performance instrument and an equally effective studio–based MIDI percussion programming tool.
The ControlPad 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 foot-switch inputs accommodate open and closed HiHat, as well as a kick drum for authentic, realistic percussion performances.
Up to 20 percussion setups can be stored to internal memory. 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. |

The ControlPad is bundled with FXPansion’s BFD Lite, a professional drum module with high quality sound libraries that feature acoustic and electronic drum kits that are designed to be triggered by the Alesis ControlPad.
BFD Lite gives you your own drum studio, with complete control of the 3 drum kits plus additional hats, snares and cymbals. Every drum is recorded from eleven different mics positioned around the kit and room so you can mix your drums by blending the mic sources just like in a real studio. BFD's high quality drum sample library has an unparalleled degree of realism. For each type of drum type in each kit, there are a number of different styles of 'hits'. Each of these 'hits' is sampled at up to 20 velocity layers, resulting in drum parts of high detail and expressiveness. |
