Alesis Samplepad 4 3-stars Reviews

Good product with some issues

I am happy I purchased the samplepad 4. I have always wanted to be able to play a drum pad without having to plug it into a computer. However, there is a very loud buzz when plugged into a speaker. This issue can be resolved by using the phones jacks as the output but still not ideal and would have hoped for better quality.

Nice features, low price

Really cheap and handy gear. It has SD card, it is small ect.

I use it us an additional element to my live hip-hop gigs. For such a purpose it is OK, but for real drummer it might be not that good. Biggest problem is quality of this thing. Alesis support forum is full of complains that samplepad has a lot of errors to play two pads simultaneously. This gear has ability to play to pads together, but for me it plays only one pad when I play two once in a 10 times. It is not very reliable.

But is has best features for the price.
