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. The Control Pad features 8 velocity sensitive pads with gum rubber surfaces for excellent stick response as well as two trigger inputs for connecting external pads such as the Alesis Drum Pad and Cymbal Pad expansion kits. 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.

The Control Pad is a compact drum/percussion system that functions equally well as a recording tool and as an on stage electronic œtrap table. It is a œmust have item for serious recording musicians and a valuable tool for percussionists seeking to œlighten the load in terms of the number of accessory instruments they carry.
