The Alesis Performance Pad is a percussion controller featuring a host of onboard sounds and a fully-fledged drum machine. There are over 200 drum and percussion sounds on tap, some of which have reverb, gates and other effects applied and, with 50 pre-configured kits available and room for an additional 50 user-definable kits and percussion setups, there is plenty here to keep the performer occupied. The internal drum machine is actually a repackaged SR-16, which has been placed into a shiny black plastic box that features eight velocity-sensitive pads designed to be struck by a pair of sticks.
