The Sample Pad Pro has, instead of the 4 of its smaller brother, now 8 two-shot rubber pads backlit by blue LEDs. The back-side of the Sample Pad Pro 2 features trigger inputs to connect additional pads. The arrangement is completed with connection possibilities for a Kick, HiHat and AUX inputs, 1/4” stereo outputs, headphone connections as well as MIDI in and out.
Since the first generation of Sample Pads, Alesis has had its finger firmly on the pulse. The possibility to easily and comfortably store and load your own sounds and samples has been used by many drummers in order to expand the relatively limited sound repertoire of an acoustic kit. The Pro version presents its self as a worth successor.
This sample pad has a really attaracting price and thats the main reason I bought it when looking at the features he offers.
It is built in good materials and the design is also really good looking.
Problems Ive found so far is that the sample pads do not always answer correctly, meaning that when you press per example pad 7, pad 4 is also playing the sound (and this is with the latest firmware update), so the response is not alwyas good enough.
Another problem is the sample pad interface with a computer, where I was not able to send samples directly from the laptop to the sample pad SD card.
The samples assignment to each pad square is also very slow and everything is done via sample pad menu, which is very time consuming.
