Storing Data; Utility - Alesis DM8 Operator's Manual

STORING DATA

The DM8 module can store the information you enter for use in
future sessions. This includes Kits you edit or record, Sequences
you edit or record, Instrument or Kit parameters, and more.
Furthermore, while there are several slots for User Kits and
Sequences, you can also save over the Presets (the first 100 Kits
or the first 75 Sequences).
To store a Kit, Instrument, or Sequence, press the DRUM KIT
or SEQ button (respectively) to select the item you want to
store, then press the STORE button. (If you are storing a Kit or
Instrument, you will be asked to specify which.)
Use the CURSOR UP / DOWN buttons and VALUE UP / DOWN
buttons or VALUE DIAL to select the "From" Kit or Sequence (the
one you want to save) and the "To" Kit or Sequence (where you
want to save it to).
For more information on using storing data, see the STORING & COPYING DATA chapter.

UTILITY

The Utility Menu lets you control global settings such as the output
routing as well as metronome, MIDI, and tempo settings. You can
also transmit SysEx data in this menu as well as re-initialize the DM8
(i.e., return it to its factory settings).
To access the Utility Menu, press the module's UTILITY button
and navigate the menus or adjust the settings accordingly.
For more information, see the UTILITY MENU chapter.
