I've been using an Alesis Sample Pad 4 for several years now and, although it got the job done, there were a few issues. The biggest problem was the display - it is completely unusable in bright sunlight, which happens a lot in outdoor gigs. I've also accidentally bumped the memory card and disengaged it, causing samples to fail to work. The Lekato pad is a bit larger than I would like, but so far, that's the only issue I can find. I've used it on a few gigs now, and it's a huge improvement over the Alesis unit. First of all, the display is easily readable under any lighting conditions. It is highly visible in bright sunlight, and nicely backlit in darker situations. Changing kits is instantaneous, whereas loading samples on the Alesis could take tens of seconds. The software that can be downloaded from Lekato works well to configure user kits. Samples can be easily imported into the app, and assigned to pads on a named user kit. The configurations are saved to a file so they can be easily recovered and edited. The file is copied to a USB memory stick which is loaded into the PD705. If modifications are made to the kits on the PD705, they can be saved to the USB stick, backed up on your PC, and edited in the app. I used a mount for the Alesis that bolted to the bottom of the unit and could be inserted into a general purpose clamp to hang it off of a cymbal stand. Surprisingly, the Lekato is completely compatible with this mount, making the transition easy. The Lekato PD705 is a great deal for the money, and the sound quality of the samples is excellent. The unit appears to be well made, and the pads have a nice touch. My only complaint is that the main output level control is on the rear panel, which isn't easy to reach on the fly. One other observation is that it's not obvious from the manual that you can set up a sample as a loop, so you can hit it to start and hit it again to stop. This is done by configuring the pad in the ADV2 advanced editing mode, by setting the pad to Infinite loop. There are many other features that I haven't tried out yet, but so far I'm very pleased with the operation and usability of the Lekato PD705. Recommended.
