Another device introduced at Summer NAMM, this time is a perfect complement for drummer and percussionists, a MIDI percussion controller for studio and stage performance, the Alesis Control Pad.
Featuring 8 high-quality velocity-sensitive percussion pads, the Control Pad can be USB powered or totally autonomous. When USB connected, not only for power, for connectivity too, the device is compatible with Mac and PC and no drivers are needed. The applications in studio are many, like recording, programming tool, etc.
When autonomous (connected by the power adapter included), the Control Pad has an input/ouput MIDI port and can store MIDI setups and you can change between them. Alesis recommends for as a percussion expander (bongos, congas, …).
It also includes 2 switch pedal inputs for controlling kick drum and hi-hat. The Control Pad will be available at the end of the year.
