CONTROL-PAD

The Alesis Control Pad USB/MIDI Percussion Controller is a compact (carry under ones arm) percussion pad controller that is equally at home as a performance instrument and as a MIDI programming tool for studio recording.

Further, there are two switch pedal inputs to accommodate open and closed hi-hat as well as kick drum. Percussion setups are stored to internal memory and are accessible via MIDI Program Change commands. In addition to being USB bus-powered”eliminating the need for an external power supply while connected to a computer”the Control Pad includes an AC adapter for use without a computer.
