Dont buy it unless your satisfied with what they load on it. Mine will not take any exterior samples.
Useless.
It’s a piece of junk don’t do it
Great overview. Thanks for putting it together. Just picked one up today and looking forward to creating with it.
Way better and more informative than anything I found for this pad. Well done dude!
Great tutorial/review, Austin! Thanks!
Best video I found about the Alesis strike multipad, thx!
Congratulations Austin!!!
Awesome drummer and best drum pad..
Congrats for hitting 60k!!
Thanks Austin for this review! I'm waiting to see what Roland comes out with at NAMM. If nothing, I'm going to purchase the Alesis.
I really love this new alesis product, looks great too.
So cool illustration! Makes me "wanna must get this for myself":) I'm really diggin' it too!
Nice demo, thanks for making it. I didn't know about this gear or your channel. Interested in both now.
I'd like to see a vid of you sampling your drum set, triggering from the pads and then exporting it into Logic, in addition show the music notation for a super deep tutorial. A lot to ask for.. I'm so glad you're hip to the hybrid setup.
I’m buying this thanks for the demo .
Great review man! That's a pretty sweet piece of tech! I have the SPD-SX but have always been bummed that I can't use it for live loops - it has no way to cut loops to a perfect loop length unless you cut them in your DAW and export! This seems like a good middle ground between the spd-30 and the SX - I might have to check it out... Cheers for the info!
Hi Austin ....Tony from London UK ....great practical user intro vid to using the Alesis multi-pad with an acoustic kit 👍👍 ....I have mine on order , as I'm travelling down the hybrid e-drum /acoustic kit path and am going to start using it in my live gigs 😀
Hybrid kits are freaking amazing. Thank you for the inspiration and reeducation...TABLA, 808...
dude... that intro ROCKED.... would LOVE to see you cover some Parallels era Mark Zonder Fates Warning tunes.... Especially the 11th hour....
Lovely opening drumming! Well done😀👍
Great demonstration
Yeah nice Austin! Always enjoy your videos. Seems like they finally brought out a worthy opponent to the Roland SPD SX! Actually I don't like Alesis products that much, cause they often used to be quite cheesy. But this looks good!
Finally an actually proper review and demo ! Well done 👍🏾
Great review. You convinced me to place an order :)
Wow! That thing is awesome. I would definitely like to get one one day
The fact that you can sequence and loop is dope. The Roland SPD doesn't let you do that. I'm getting this.
Excellent review. Thank you!
Thanks for posting this! It definitely helped me decide on what to purchase.
The multi strike is junk
I have one brand new and have never been able to load any sounds on it
No support from Alesia
👎👎👎👎
@@lechlerguttersllc9553 sounds like you got a lemon. I did end up purchasing one three years ago and I’ve used it on 100+ gigs a year with my band. No problem uploading samples, no functionality issues.
The one big criticism I have of it is that the interface is not user friendly. For something produced in 2020ish, the workflow used to program banks of pads, rename banks and samples, etc is 1980 Atari level suck.
was digging that jam at the beginning. trippy
Your snare sounds great!
Great review !!
Great review Austin. Looks great and I'm definitely interested. You're doing a great job with everything. Your vids are great, and your series on drum recording is fantastic. That helped me so much. Where do you get your samples from?
Thanks! I just got the one snare drum sample from a random website, I forget the name haha
Excellent video man. Thank you.
amazing vid mate, good info
I dig that funky little hihat and that snare
Great tutorial dude. Awesome
Awesome video - best of all I've seen!
Very informative - thanks!
Wowww melody and drums ?! Incredible 👍
I'm considering selling my Roland SPD SX to buy this one. The looping functionality is something that I really need, and also the extra storage (2GB spd vs 32GB alesis). I wish the SPD SX had those things. Thanks for the review!
what do you thinnk about this one vs the new version of the roland spd sx ? 16 gb and the price is higher
You can check forums and some videos. You can upgrade the memory of the spd sx. The inbuilt memory is actually an sd card in it.
How much
Nice snare sound!
Austin, could you PLEASE release a full solo of that opening part??
Really enjoyed this. Nice job. Period
Cool video thanks for taking the time to share.
I just ordered mine I am super excited
It really looks great and I love the sounds, I feel that has more sounds or presets than the Roland. What about reliability? Thanks
great review! is there a way to change the velocities on the pads so you trigger more silent closed hi hats that open up as you hit harder for example? I think on the site it says a max of 2 sounds per layer, but are these sounds all velocity sensitive?
Awesome video man!!! Really shows how one could add this in to an acoustic set up...or just make tunes as a stand alone unit... Now, just need to sell a kidney and I'm gonna order it.....
I like that the headphone jack is in the front.
Not only that- but a 1/8" and 1/4" is kinda convenient as well.
bryan macneil I know right!!! Some designer finally got a CLUE!!!
My teacher had an acoustic Tama and an electronic Roland. I was never a huge fan of the Roland but this looks pretty good as you can use it as an accessory rather than alternative.
Product update. I had mine for 47 days before it quit working. Fantastic product. It is for the features it has. The best multipad out there. I exchanged mine for the Yamaha multi 12. And am very happy. The Alesis reliability issues kept me from getting another one. I will wait a few years for them to work out the bugs before I consider another one. Hope yours is still working
M G what exactly were the problems you had with it?
Ben Pursehouse The sound cut in and out on my headphones and then it just cut out permanently. I tried connecting to the 1/4 output to a monitor and it also wouldn’t work. So like I said earlier in my comments months ago I went with the Yamaha dtx multi 12. The Alesis is the best out there for what it does but for reliability which Alesis has always had issues and I experienced it which confirms all the complaints and went with older but reliable Yamaha which is still a beast.
@@MRG_88 I would've returned it and got another one if it was within warranty. I had a loose connection in the back after only a couple months and got a new one delivered after one phone call.
@@Deech72 yea i could have easily gotten another one as I had the pro-coverage but decided to go with the yamaha. I am happy have no regrets. I also have an akai mpc one and that thing alone is a beast especially with recent update so for sure have best of both worlds. Anyway enjoy yours
Thanks for the video, very clear! So i guess one could sample an entire backing track for a song and assign to one of the pads...and then just trigger the pad and jam on top? Also when looping... could I assign different length loops to different pads? So for example, if I do a 1 bare drum loop and have it on pad 1, could I then do a 4 bare loop (for example a 4 bare guitar chord sequence) and have it on pad 2? Thanks again! :)
Great Job! Thanks !!!
Thanks for a great review. Can you tell us why you are using an 1/8 to 1/4 adapter for your ears when there's and 1/8 input on the unit?
Austin, thank you so much for this video. This is exactly what I needed and I'm so gonna buy this thing now. I have one question though, is it possible to connect a midi keyboard for example and record/loop stuff from that into the Alesis?
Did you find an answer to this?
Do you know if this multipad allows us to play the loop at different tempo on the fly (based on how I trigger it)? Any suggestion on sample pads which has this feature?
That intro was sick!!
I thought it was quite good myself...
YOU sir are a beast. In a very good and musical way.
wow. im not a drummer but i'm very impressed with that device.
sounds realy good, great!
Whats that stack you use near the Hi Hats? Great video!
Did you just go from the main outs on the Alesis into inputs on your audio interface? Unsure how you would link this in to an audio interface. Thanks!
I used to really dislike Alesis products. I don't need another multipad, and I still prefer my Nord Drum 3p, although it's in a different niche, with different features. That said, I gotta hand it to Alesis, this Multi Pad screams quality and looks like a solid alternative to the latest SPDSX. They've really improved since the Strike Pro. Good stuff.
the new alesis mesh kits are spectacular for the price. they're really pulling a Kia and turning around the brand's quality, while keeping the low price.
nice demo,can you please tell the what kind of ozone HH that you use next to the traditional one?
Thanks for this Review! Is it possible to play this Pad with Hands or even fingers?
Thanks for very good review and informations . Please make more videos.
Hi austin, can you tell us if it’s possible to sync the built in metronom with the different pads ?
Actually i made loops with music on left and click on right with my SPD-SX 🤷🏻♂️
Or may be is it possible to route to different out the two samples on the same pad?
Thanks a lot and keep going 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Are you there?!?! I send an email to Alesis from the Strike Multipad page, no answer...
This slaps so hard. Tool vibes for sure
Interesting! I've been thinking about buying a Roland SPD SX, but I think I'll research this Alesis Strike Multipad further before making a final decision on that. We'll see what Roland announces at NAMM, if anything, for the SPD. This is very cool though.
Porfavor en español
Great video. Sample editing seams a bit awkward, but like you say, edit in logic...
Is it possible to trigger a loop beforehand, like in novation launchpad where you can trigger a loop just before the beat and it will start playing on cue. Thanks for the upload!
That would be great - you could definitely do this in interface mode as a MIDI controller for ableton. I'mm interested to hear the answer to this.
Nice Snare sound you imported via USB. Where did you get those samples from ? Looking for good drum sounds
Excellent review, great groove at the beginning, your snare sounds KILLER, Tune-Bot? Settings?
Thanks! I just tune the snare by instinct and feel, but I go pretty dang tight on both top and bottom. I go into it in depth in the tuning course on my website if you wanted to check that out.
Great job!!!
cool stuff i just got the pro 8 my self
can the loops be automatically quantised while performing?? and can you move to a new set of pads during a loop? like start with a set of pads acting like a bass guitar, loop it, then move to a set of pads that are drums...?
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?
Thank you!
Thanks for the informative video.
A couple questions about the looper (which is not covered as much by reviews):
- Can you have the click exclusively on headphones so it won't be heard on audio outs?
- Can you save a loop in a file and assign it to a pad so that you can switch between loops, all this while doing a live performance?
How is the Pad feeling? rebound-wise ?
can i play detailed ghostnotes?
Nice one bro, you must make more videos with it..
Is there a song mode so you can hit a pad to change between prerecorded phrases?
Hey dude. What cymbals are in your x-hat/stack in this video?
You are really gifted. I will acquire this beast in about two weeks as I am a percussionist and this is very mobile. I dont want to play percussion on my keyboard even though it will give similar sounds. I have a good keyboard (Yamaha PSR SX 900). Can I plug this straight into an amp and start using or do I need a laptop? Finally does this have African drums on it such as the talking drum which is a specialist sounding hand played drum from Nigeria? Thanks.
Can this also be used as a USB audio interface with logic for my Roland AE30 wind synth .
How accurate are the pads? Can you play rolls and diddles? What about flam drags? Thanks
4:44 .. we all played this beat on Ham&Beans hahahaha
Thanks for the nice video. I have a question.
If I want to control the kits with a foot switch, i.e. back and forth. How can you set that. There are Fs1-Fs3. But I don't know how to do that. Maybe there is already a video. thank you very much
Greetings Fredi
A great video ; after watching this i have just purchased one
Purchase me one too!
any type of foot pedals or footswitch i can add to it ??
Hi, can each pad send the midi note on a different midi channel each?
Great video.
nice grooves!
Would I be able to play a virtual instrument like Damage 2 by Heaviocity on this?
Good morning! Does anybody knows if Alesis strike pad have tempo synch, in order to change tempo to the internal loop and layer functions also, in order to have two sounds sample in one pad? Please let me know cause I'm interested to buy this instrument! Thanks a lot in advance! Cheers from Italy!
Damn Austin. Loved that groove to kick off the video. Have an extended cut? :)
A FF Nah that’s about as far as I’ve developed it lol
Me to... Def has a zep kind of No Quarter vibe to it... need a 10 min version!! lol
Got one this week, very powerfull and a lot of fun.
So many samples (8000), plays all kinda genres from rock, jazz, world, electronic.
The built in FX are very good, with my synths I use seperate pedals (except KingKorg) but Alesis did a great job on this too.
Is there a problem when you switch kits?
@@lloydbastard7254
Mine will not allow any uploaded samples.
Hi! New owner of the multipad here. I cant seem to figure out why the kit fx on my user kits are not coming out thru the main outputs. Would appreciate any help! 🙏🙏🙏
I've got a question which hasn't been covered by any of these videos on RUclips so I'm really hoping you guys will read this :-). Let's suppose I want to load up the Alesis Strike with my own snare sample and I want it to have it's own velocity range depending on how hard I hit a pad with said sample on it. Would I need to upload 127 samples for each velocity or can I just upload one sample at a "normal" volume and the Multipad will do the rest for me?
Does the Pad Work with the strike editor software?
Thanks in advance! :-)
You can change all the threshold and velocity parameters from the SMP!
That D&B! ❤
Thanks for video. How do you find it? Any cross talk issues etc. Thanks.
how about loops? do they lock to tempo and will they change with tempo change?
Damn gotta have one of those
Nice groove.🤖
