Pre-Set Kits: The Alesis SamplePad 4 has 10 pre-set kits already loaded onto it, so you can start playing as soon as it arrives. There are also other options for recording the audio out of the device, so you can point him towards https://www.electronicdrumadvisor.com/record-electronic-drums/ for more information if he’s not sure.

If you discover a great combination of sounds you want to keep together, simply designate it as a kit and the SamplePad will save it for easy recall anytime you want.
