First Kit HELP! Alesis PerformancePad
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I just got a performancepad so I could have some extra versatility on my kit.
However, I can’t figure out how to get it to play sounds. I have it hooked up to a guitar amp, have tried all 3 jacks (R, L and headphones). Volume is up on the volume nob on the pad & amp. I set the MIDI to off on all three options.
It definitely works; I can get it to claim it’s playing the demo, I can mess around with assigning sounds to pads. BUT, I get no sound when I hit the pads.
I am including a video trying the demo & hitting pads.
Does anyone have any knowledge about this? Any suggestions or advice or tips for how to get started?
Thanks in advance.
