Alesis SamplePad Pro 8-Pad Drum Sampler

Alesis SamplePad Pro – 8-Pad Percussion & Sample Instrument

The Alesis SamplePad Pro is the all-in-one percussion and sample instrument designed for drummers, producers, and performers. With eight responsive pads, hundreds of onboard sounds, and the ability to load your own samples via SD card, it’s the perfect balance of power, versatility, and portability for stage or studio use.

Eight Pads, Endless Possibilities

The SamplePad Pro features 8 velocity-sensitive rubber pads with bright blue LED illumination for easy visibility on stage. Each pad responds naturally to your dynamics, letting you trigger percussion, drums, loops, or melodic instruments with expressive control.

Expandable Sound Library

Preloaded with 200+ professional drum, cymbal, and percussion sounds across 10 ready-to-play kits, the SamplePad Pro is ready to play straight out of the box. Using an SD card (up to 32GB, not included), you can expand your library with up to 512 custom sounds and 89 user kits — making it easy to tailor the pad to your performance.

Connectivity & Control

Designed for seamless integration, the SamplePad Pro includes MIDI In/Out ports and a USB connection for direct computer control. Add external triggers with 2 additional pad inputs, a kick pedal input (switch or trigger mode), and a hi-hat pedal input (switch or variable mode) to create a hybrid electronic/acoustic setup. A footswitch jack provides additional control over kit functions during performance.

Performance-Ready Outputs

For flexible monitoring and live use, the SamplePad Pro includes ¼-inch stereo outputs, a ¼-inch headphone output with dedicated volume control, and a ⅛-inch stereo aux input with level control — perfect for jamming along with backing tracks.
