Why won’t my Alesis Drums reload MIDI sys ex data dump from an external disk drive or computer?
If your Alesis Drums won’t reload MIDI sys ex data dump from an external disk drive or computer, the disk drive's buffer memory might be too small to hold the entire contents of the SR-16. You can reduce the amount of memory in the SR-16 by erasing unneeded parts.
