Alesis D4 manual Return Your Warranty Card NOW, HOOKUP/INSTANT Gratification

•Velocity-sensitive Preview button. Audition sounds at the D4 itself, so you don’t have to go back and forth between a controller and the D4 when making drum kit assignments or checking out sounds.

•Headphone jack. This is excellent for practicing, or for creating drum kits while other activity is taking place in the studio.

•Hi hat pedal footswitch. This lets you incorporate a footswitch to create very realistic hi hat effects.

•Note chasing. You can select a note for editing or previewing based on the most recently received MIDI note or trigger input.

•Drum sound editing. Vary tuning, mix, and panning, as well as assign drums to “groups” for special effects (such as hi-hat sounds that cut each other off, or cymbals that restrike).
