4.After naming the Drum Set and selecting where it should be stored, press the Store button again. The LCD will briefly show DRUMSET STORED to confirm that it has been stored. The Store LED will then go out and the D4 will return to the mode it was in prior to the Store button being pressed.

Note: If you change your mind and want to cancel the storage process, press any of the eight Function buttons before pressing Store a second time. Your edits will remain intact until you select another Drum Set.

2.2 RECALLING FACTORY DRUM SETS

The D4 includes 21 factory-programmed Drum Sets that are useful in a wide range of applications. To recall one of the factory Drum Sets:

1.Press and hold the Drum Set function button. While holding this button, press the Store button. Release both buttons. The display shows something like:

RECALL ALESIS

SET 01 INTO 01

2.The cursor will be under the Drum Set to be recalled. Use the Data wheel to select the desired Drum Set. As soon as you select a Drum Set, it will be loaded into the edit buffer (and overwrite any existing edit buffer data—careful!) so you can play some notes and make sure it’s the right set.

3.Press the > cursor button to select the destination Drum Set number for the recalled Drum Set.

4.Use the Data wheel to select the desired destination memory slot. To recall all of the original factory Drum Sets, press the > cursor button one more time.

5.To complete the operation, press the Store button. The display will confirm that whatever you selected has been stored.

If you change your mind and want to cancel the recall process, press any of the eight Function buttons before pressing Store a second time.

Note: Remember that recalling a Drum Set overwrites the edit buffer contents. If you cancel the recall operation by pressing one of the eight Function buttons, any Drum Set you recalled will remain in the edit buffer but Drum Sets 00-20 will remain unchanged. This can be useful for auditioning the various preset Drum Sets.

Also note that if you are concerned about overwriting data you want to keep, save the D4’s memory first, as described in section 4.6.
