KTMP1 Electronic Drum and Percussion Pad Sound Module, Black

Very independent realistic sounds

Not as complex as most pads out, but it give you an amazing range of FX that does the job just as well. The unit is sturdy and durable. It's like quality product for an affordable price. I purchased two of them, and I'm completely satisfied. I would get this, as long as they keep it at the price point the have it at.

I love this drumpad for hand drumming. It has decent sounds and decent build quality. However the midi features are really flawed and there is no technical support whatsoever. This will not work with most drum vsts and software etc. Because it only outputs o zero millisecond note lengths. This causes it to not be able to trigger a large portion of drum samples and vsts etc. There is no way of changing the note length so you are almost limited to using just the onboard sounds. I hope they can fix this but it's been out for a while and no support exists. Can't recommend this for use with and type of midi devices whether software vsts or USB midi etc.

Works great but I wish the samples were of better sound quality and had more variety of the samples like cowbell, hand claps and bell tree chimes. Also some of the samples are too short, like the chimes.

Fun and easy yet kinda limited.I still use midi w Ableton live to expand this kat and it makes it more powerful.Worth the price .Thanks Kat

Great

I have owned the Alesis Perc-Pad for several months now, I needed some fun sounds in our cover band and it did the trick for awhile. I saw that this had just come out so took a chance and ordered one. First off the sounds are great, every bit as good as the Alesis unit however there are 25 more here ! This pad has 50 vs the Alesis 25 and they are all usable and really open up the scope of color you can add to your drumming ! I use mine in combination and as an add on to my Acustic drums, its a lot of fun and really ads needed color and cool sounds to some of the disco and funk songs my band covers ! If your considering the Alesis parcpad..Don't, buy this instead, 50 sounds vs 25, the ability to trigger your kick drum which the aleis doesn't do, Midi control and USB hookup to trigger anything you want from a laptop ! All for the same price as the Alesis ! My Percpad is now on Ebay as this unit is built just as well but has twice the feature set for the same exact amount of money ! Great job KAT ! I love it ! By the way it uses the same mount as the alesis also so no issues there, its standard.

"Remove far from me vanity and lies..." According to the reviews and specs, the thing is supposed to work through a USB cable, and control percussion programs, as well as integrate with DAWs without issues. Well... it doesn't. The instruction manual was useless about USB and MIDI, so I went to the KAT site and there you have it, USB might not work, so you will need a MIDI to USB cable. What is the point of a USB port then? When I hooked the USB to my PC, and tried to bring it into my Studio One 4 Professional system, the program froze. More than once. I have never had issues with Presonus programs or equipment and I have been using them several years. Furthermore, the sounds on the KTMP1 are only general MIDI voices, and honestly, it sounds like a toy. So the standard program sounds are useless to me. Volume is not good either. To see how it sounded direct to the board, I had to turn the preamp way up to get the thing to have good input volume to system. The KAT volume was as high as it would get on the unit. I just got it and opened it today. It's back in the box ready to send back. I am sure I am the one who will have to pay to send it back. I should have went with Alesis. KAT Percussion has lost any future business from me. It's companies like KAT that make me buy on line less and less. If I could put NO stars I would, I am so angry!
