Alesis e Practice Pad Electronic Drum Practice Pad Questions & Answers
No pad sound
Not sure what module you're using this with, but I'm familiar with Roland electronic drum pads and modules, and guess the following would stand true for any pad / module combo....I would check the following:
- Is the cable correctly connected at the pad?
- Is the cable correctly connected at the module?
- Is the module sound turned up?
- Are your headphones / speakers turned on & up (do other pads sound)?
- Is the fader for the specific pad (or pad group) turned up?(On a Roland module, where the pad is AUX1 to 4 - the 'fader' button needs to be pressed in order to operate the AUX slider).The next couple of things are less likely, but possible.
- Does the pad have a polarity switch on? - try switching it.
- Has he correct pad type been assigned in the module?
- Has an instrument been assigned to the pad(Roland: Press INSTRUMENT, hit the Pad, select a sound)
If you get no joy with this - please drop me a message.

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.

My alesis hr-16 has seveloped a software issue 02..what does that mean?
The software is on an EPROM chip inside.
It can go awry for a number of reasons, including a voltage surge via the earth, coming back from the amp
Always connect everything before powering up your system. If you disconnect to troubleshoot, power down before reconnecting.
Try this if you don't mind losing all your patterns:
Power off
Hold down "ERASE", "DELETE", and "RECORD" while you turn power on
This will clear all your memorized patterns & reinitialize the system.
If that doesn't work, the EPROM chip may need to be reprogrammed or replaced.
