[@tonycarpenter-Makzimia]

The reason Sweetwater has done so well, people like Nick make it great. I just got my Alesis Strike Multipad today. Running 1.3 firmware, it's a great sounding easy to use addition with my Roland TD50k2 expanded set :).

[@Pablotercero90]

Sweetwater has great customer service, they're the chick fil a of music stores

[@gunrugger]

Man, that's my dream setup. I currently only have a td-11 kit, and I feel the pain. I just don't make enough money to go buying a really nice kit like the 50k2 i think what I'll likely do is upgrade my kit with one of these, and then route some of my pads over to the alesis. Not sure yet 😄

Hi Nick - a few specific questions - had a look through the manual, but wasn't able to find answers: 1. Can you disable the flashing "Alesis" lights on the side / back? It's cool that they're flashing in tempo, but I can see situations where you'd want to disable them (actually -- did find this: "Logo Mode" has an "off" setting) 2. Can you delete all of the preset data? The DTX Multi 12 doesn't allow you to do this, but the SPD-SX does. 3. Can the hi-hat pedal work against any arbitrary pad (or multiple pads), or is it limited to a specific pad? Can you assign any combination of sounds to the "open" and "closed" positions, or is it just limited to typical hihat cymbal sounds? Is it binary (open/closed) or continuous? The manual mentions that the pedal can be set as variable (continuous), but isn't clear if that's only for MIDI out, or also applies to internal sounds -- e.g., can you do a pedal gliss with a timpani sound? 4. Are there any limits to the types of pads that can be input? Is it just single-piezo, or can piezo/fsr pads (e.g. Yamaha snare pads, Roland BT-1) or dual-piezo triggers be used as well? From the manual, it _looks_ like it only supports dual-piezo or single-piezo, but would love confirmation. 5. Can you confirm that the internal click does NOT send MIDI clock? 6. It looks like footswitches and pads are treated as equals -- i.e., everything that a footswitch can do, a pad can do (and vice-versa) -- including having a footswitch play a sound back. Is this correct? 7. Is there any kind of beat matching / loop stretching as you change the tempo? 8. How can you access the two layers (Wave A / Wave B)? Is it only velocity switching, or is it accessible via other methods (mute groups, hihat pedal, etc.). The manual mentions round-robin, but that's the only thing I can see. 9. Is the looper able to be used in real-time, or is there an airgap between the finish of the loop and the beginning of playback? 10. Is there any kind of chain mode / set list mode? In general, I think the manual needs a fair bit of work -- there's a lot of stuff that isn't covered at all. The big differences I see from this to SPD-SX are 1. More footswitches, and the ability to trigger sounds from footswitches 2. Looper control via pads / footswitches 3. More aux buses, with the ability to control them from footswitches / pads 4. Hi-hat control 5. Layers However, it's missing some of the little stuff that the SPD-SX gets right -- the stuff that _wasn't_ in the original SPD-S, but was added into the SPD-SX. Loop stretching, chain mode, click volume knob(!) The DTX Multi 12 is a _much_ more powerful MIDI controller / pad, just supremely limited by the abysmal 64MB storage and Yamaha's total inability to make an easy-to-use interface. Can't wait to get one of these and update my multipad review :) (kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZXNpp6pqc2nZqc)

[@richardwilliams1310]

looks awesome, I would love to see the discontinued Alesis Trigger I/O or something similar used with a bunch of triggers on an acoustic hybrid kit with mesh heads, using the Alesis Strike Multipad as the hub. Also a mixer connected to the mic/line input when wanting to sample acoustic drums & cymbals. Sample, trim, distort/effects and assign to pad or tigger \m/

so i had Alesis Strike Multipad for 1 week. it’s really great and on Board sounds are amazing. Main problem... it take a long for loading Kit. PITCH tuning is very very bad. You can’t listen to the sound while you pitch changing. You have to save to new file or overwrite it. Then can you listen to the changed sound, it’s not roland or yamaha multi pad. if alesis make update for future .. it will be the best Pad drum for ever...!

[@Keyznguitarz]

Would you possibly do a video on the "Hihat Acous" samples? For the life of me I cannot figure out Alesis's abbreviations for the sample names.

[@rdmusic012]

Hi looks great but how about the preset sound library? What sort of percussion samples are inbuilt? How prominent is the real drumkit with realtime velocity and dynamics? Can we graph and eq our loaded samples? Can we add two or more layers of sounds through midi along with preset or usb wave from alesis strike?

[@sweetwater]

Thanks for the questions. Sounds like this is more of a conversation than just a KZbin response. I'd love to talk to you about this. We can dive in to what you are wanting to do and see what the best solution would be. Please give me a call, I'm typically available Monday-Friday, 9AM-6PM EST. Derek Senestraro, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1243

[@nsk1dancer]

Hello! Do you know is there an option that you can pull out the specific sound from the loop that you record live? I'll explain - so you're playing, done three layers of a loop and think that one of the sounds in second layer is not what you want. Can you remove it without turning the whole loop down?

[@spookyman459]

I see nick, i click

[@GeorgeLangley]

Thanks. The only thing you didn't show was adding live acoustic sounds (ie. your snare drum) to a loop. IIUIC, the MultiPad is recording a .wav file when it makes a loop, as opposed to a sequencer retriggering the pads. So, anything picked up by the microphone connected to the Record In inputs would simply be another part of the sound being recorded, correct? The Alesis website states "Loop-based recording of your pad performance or from the external audio input", but the manual doesn't specifically explain anything further. Am envisioning laying down a drum beat first pass or two with the pads, then overdubbing a bass line or piano vamp through the Record In inputs, to then solo overtop. Have found a couple of other videos that seem to show something like that, with no real explanation of how.

[@BrianTheChristopher]

[@Brian-Lee]

Impressive demo but…when you change pitch on a recorded sample, it simply slows it down, so does it have the option to drop pitch and keep the original timing?

[@Adi-is-Adi.]

Im about to buy one - I think your observation is awaiting an update to cure. Apparently tempos cannot be changed. Useful when linked to a DAW. Still a lot here to go with tho.

[@bkezelos]

Are the timpani sounds any good? Are there some soft timp hits or are they all loud?

[@sweetwater]

Thanks for the question, Bill. I haven't gotten a chance to hear the sounds on there, so not sure. But they do have a timpani patch. Off course you can add samples, so if there are other timpani samples you like, you can load them on the unit. If there are other questions I can help with, let me know.

[@MarioK593]

I've got a question which hasn't been covered by any of these videos on KZbin 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? Other than that, imho this is the most in-depth and comprehensive video on the MultiPad here on KZbin, great work! Thanks in advance! :-)

[@sweetwater]

Hello, Mario. Thank you very much for the interest. Took me a little while to find this one. The Strike Pro kits come with a proprietary Strike Editor which allows you to upload your samples into user presets. In this editor you are able to add a value based on certain parameters (i.e Amp, Pitch, Filter, Volume) to your sample. These are not based on your standard MIDI CC, but there is value set with a specific range that you can select per each sample, per each layer and zone. Here is a link to the editor parameters: 7132afa424c2f1a2ab6d-54d68a14e2e7c1f76563a2d8c3e9fd82.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com/1550/documents/StrikeEditor-UserGuide-v1.1.pdf Give me a call if I can help further!

[@MRG_88]

Hi. Am deciding between this and the dtx multipad. Similar functions one thing is the strike is not a sequencer but what I am interested is how comparable the sounds are , which sounds more realistic and does the strike have pressure sensitivity like the dtx? Does it have choking or muting capability like the dtx? Thanks in advance

[@sweetwater]

Hey, M G. These are indeed similar. They both have great, realistic sounds. The Strike does do velocity, but no aftertouch or pressure. Thanks for your interest. Jason Thiele, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1391, [e-mail]

Is there a Direct Tempo change setting on board ....or in Edit function ?????

[@sweetwater]

Hi, Vihul. I'm not sure I entirely understand your question, but I'm guessing you may be referring to changing the tempo of a loop. Is that correct? If so: you cannot currently alter the tempo of a previously created loop. However, when creating a new loop, you can adjust the tempo by following these steps: 1) Press the F6-View function button while in Effect View in Perform Mode to access the built-in looper. 2) When the looper is activated you can set the BPM and Time Signature by pressing the BPM button. Hopefully this helps! Feel free to call me at the number below with any further questions. Thanks for your interest! Brandt Miller, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1628, [e-mail]

How long of a sample could this play? My band doesnt have a keyboard player. Could a keyboard be sampled for the lenght of a whole song?

[@sweetwater]

Hi, Bruce! You could absolutely play back a sample that long. The only limitation is the size of the memory card that you use. With that said, playing along with samples that are that long can be quite difficult. Especially if someone gets off time. I would suggest breaking it into smaller pieces that you trigger throughout the song. Thanks for your interest! Mike Wuchter, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1789

[@bpivr]

Sweetwater how long would it take to load a 3 minute sample? The old sample pad pro would take a long time for loading a one measure sample.

[@DrumGearGeek]

@@bpivr according to the manual, the size of the sample doesn't change the load time on this -- it's because it's loading directly from the hard drive, not from a separate "current kit" buffer. So it just needs to get the memory pointers set, not actually load the entire file. So the _number_ of samples per kit affects the load, but not the size of the individual samples.

[@Deech72]

I've played back tracks 4-5 min long. No problems.

[@Deech72]

@@bpivr It takes a couple minutes for me.

[@TheDigitalMD]

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 the kit level 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.

Hi, Diogo! The Strike Multipad is primarily designed for use with sticks, and will be at its best when played with them. However, depending on your playing style, you may be able to find a sweet spot by adjusting the Sensitivity, Threshold, and Velocity Curves in the "Feel" menu. You'll want it to be responsive enough that it picks up your strikes, but not so much that you get crosstalk between pads, and/or false triggers.
