Alesis SamplePad 4 | Compact Percussion and Sample Triggering Instrument with Velocity Sensitive Pads, Drum Sounds and SD/SDHC Card Slot (Black)

I purchased this Sample pad for my 10 year old kid and he is very happy with it. I got this deal under Rs.9000. I want to share my experience with it. 1. It is easy to play. 2. I didn't try the extra sounds which can be uploaded with a external SD card but I think it should work fine. I will try it later. 3. If you want to play it in a live program with amplifier it's sound quality is fine but not professional. Sooner you will realize it is not good (irritating sound). If you play attaching with 5.1 channel sound system sound output quality is good. 4. So far I feel it is good for learning purpose.

Product was good.. i want Indian tones. Where should I download that. Anyone please help me.

This pad can be used for for beginner who are just starting to play a electronic drum pad.... I got this under 12000 during sale.... Since I am a beginner it almost satisfies my needs.... Don't expect sound quality that found in Roland SPDx or DTS 12....for a pad under 15k the sound quality is good Pros 1. Easy layout of each setting and navigation is easy 2. Accessibility and voice setup for each pad is widely expanded 3. The blue led lights around the pad makes it more cool and readable 4. Really small, light and portable design form factor Cons 1. Everytime you plug your pad to a speaker or amplifier via the main outputs ( L + R ) it makes a really annoying Hum/buzz sound.... This can be solved by plugging the pad to the speaker via the phones output 2. The top two pads are sometimes not really responsive.... You can adjust it's sensitivity though but sometimes you gotta strike it hard in order to hear the sound Conclusion A great bad people who just entering to the drum pad segment .... Great for beginners.... But after you have learned how to play pad really good you know that it's time for a upgrade.... Don't expect sounds of professional pads... But under 15 k the sound quality is good

Its good

Guys, go for it. It's really awesome Samplepad / octapad in budget. Alesis is having only one service centre in India. It's - paras electronics in Mumbai. RockOn!

Good product.. Just a little problem Accessing time takes a little bit more from SD card

Basically, there’s cross talk, the sensitivity across the pads doesn’t feel consistent. But you can get used to these, and you can adjust some settings to make it better. The sounds in it are crap—use MIDI if you are getting this. But apart from these quality issues, what pissed me off was that one of the pads stopped working today :( Not a very good or reliable product by any measure.

Not that much useful, known and knowledged person will set all settings to play with hardship. Reverb and sensitivity is not functioning properly. Very difficult to play by new players. Upper two pads won't produce sounds effectively.
