Alesis Dm5 Drum Module 18 Bit Questions & Answers
Where does hihat control cord go
The hi-hat trigger goes into trigger #1. Using a footswitch will change the hi-hat trigger sound to a closed hi-hat. On page 8 of the user manual is the list of triggers and their assignments. Note that some new triggers from newer drumsets use TRS cables because they have two sensors within the drum head... Often the new ones have a rim shot snare trigger as well as a trigger for the mesh head. These newer different brand triggers would require special cables to be made to attempt to use them with the DM5. The DM5 is older technology now but is still useful.
MY ALESIS DM5 WAS PLUGGED
Hi pcruzx,
Sometimes replacing the fuse alone with exact voltage and ampere ratings will cure the problem(you're lucky) but not all. Sometimes further damaged gone to other parts most especially the voltage regulator transistor/IC (mounted in heat sink) and the opened the fusible resistor in line with the supply(B+).
First check the fuse, for sure it was already blown. If you've replaced the fuse and immediately blew again after powering on the unit, this was an indication of shorted parts near the AC line. Click this

Hope I helped you.
Have a nice day!
Thanks for using Fixya.
Anybody ever figure out the Alesis DM10 module blank screen with some led lights on?
Try a reset before going to assistance:
There are two ways to reset the DM10:
To
fully restore the module to original factory settings, hold the
EXIT and
STORE buttons while powering on the module.
To reset only the
kits, sequences, or trigger settings:
- Press UTILITY to enter the main Utility Menu.
- Press SYS (F4) to access the Accompaniment Settings.
- Press INIT (F2) to access the reinitialization page.
- Use CURSOR UP/DOWN to move through the following menu items:
- All Kits: All of the module's kits and their settings will return to factory default
- All Sequences: All of the module's sequences and their settings will return to factory default
- All Trigger Settings: All of the module's trigger settings will return to factory default
- Highlight the option you would like to reset, then press EXEC (F4).
- A window will appear asking you to confirm your choice. To confirm and reinitialize the selected settings, press YES (F1). To Cancel, press CANCEL (F2 or F2).

Alesis Qs6.2 / Re-initialized and now no Sound on any Bank?
All user voices are erased when it is reinitialized. You'll have to restore from a backup or sit down and rewrite them all.
This is why I suggest always making a backup of anything important becasue even an electronic failure could cause a data loss and buying a new one won't help if you don't have abackup to restore from.

Backup sr16 to another sr16
You can send the current patches and programs along with your songs and sequences via MIDI cable from one to the other. Done it many times using a MIDI thing called SYSEX dumps.
You have to hook the MIDI OUT of the unit you want to duplicate to the MIDI IN of the new machine.
Go through the SYSTEM menu and there is a menu item for SYSEX DUMP. Select that and hit the enter and the new one will receive the dump. Both of them will be programmed identically.
