Alesis D4 manual Receive Data from Another Midi Device, 7A Load from DataDisk

Page 30

6.Press the D4 Store button. The D4 display says SENDING SYSEX DATA OUT MIDI… and the DD display says RECEIVING Alesis D4 to indicate that data has been received.

7.To prevent future confusion, name the DD file using the DD NAME function.

4.7RECEIVE DATA FROM ANOTHER MIDI DEVICE

The D4 will automatically load D4 system exclusive data present at its MIDI In. Therefore, there is no associated function since reception can occur at any time that a sys ex storage device or another D4 sends data through its MIDI Out into the D4’s MIDI In.

The D4 is compatible only with D4 system exclusive data; for example, you cannot load system exclusive data from another drum device into the D4.

The following describes how to load data from the Alesis DataDisk; other system exclusive storage devices work similarly, but please refer to the owner’s manual for your particular device to find out how to set it up to send MIDI sys ex data.

Note: When loading the Edit Buffer via sys ex, be sure and save the Drum Set before changing to another Drum Set. Otherwise, the data will be lost.

4.7A Load from DataDisk

1.Connect the DD MIDI Out to the D4 MIDI In

2.Insert the disk into the DD that contains the file to be loaded into the D4.

3.Press the DD SEND button. The display says SEND FILE Alesis D4 (filename)?

4.Press the DD DO/YES button. The D4 automatically senses the presence of this data; no button-pushing is required. The DD display says SENDING: Alesis D4 (filename), the D4 display says RECEIVING SYSEX DATA FROM MIDI. Note that loading sys ex data overwrites the resident memory.

5.The D4 will revert to whatever screen was showing prior to receiving MIDI data.
