Alesis D4 Quick Setup Manual page 3

With the gain set too high, you may experience false, or
double triggering. A properly adjusted gain setting will allow
the highest dynamic range for the pad being used.
Nofe: For more detailed information and examples, regarding
the functions of these individual parameters, please refer to
Chapter 5 of the D4 Reference Manual.
When triggering from pads always follow these 5 basic steps:
1. Plug io a!! of the triggers you will be using.
.
Plug all of the triggers you will be using into the rear panel
jacks. Since the triggers are interactive, the D4 needs to "see"
all of the signals simultaneously.
.
Use the following guide for your trigger inputs. The trigger
default note numbers correspond to these drum sounds.
1. Hat
2. Bass drum
3. Snare
4. Toml
5. Tom2
5. Tom3
7. Ride Cymbal
8. Crash Cymbal 1
9. Crash Cymbal 2
10. Conga
11. Hi Timbale
12. Hi Agogo
Nofe: Drum sets 17 &18 use a different set of default note
numbers. The trigger default note numbers for all pre set drum
sets can be found in the D4 Factory Drumset Reference Chart.
Turn the note chase feature off.
o Do this by pressing the note chase button on the front panel
so that the LED is off. Note chase is a feature that
automatically displays the data of the most recently struck
pad, enabling you to easily "move" around the kit for editing
purposes. Flowever, the active trigger should always be
selected manually since other unadjusted inputs could "fire"
simultaneously during editing resulting in confusion on the
display.
Note; The note chase LED also functions as a signal indicator and
will flash when a trigger is generated.
