Anybody ever figure out the Alesis DM10 module blank screen with some led lights on?
Try a reset before going to assistance:
There are two ways to reset the DM10:
To
fully restore the module to original factory settings, hold the
EXIT and
STORE buttons while powering on the module.
To reset only the
kits, sequences, or trigger settings:
- Press UTILITY to enter the main Utility Menu.
- Press SYS (F4) to access the Accompaniment Settings.
- Press INIT (F2) to access the reinitialization page.
- Use CURSOR UP/DOWN to move through the following menu items:
- All Kits: All of the module's kits and their settings will return to factory default
- All Sequences: All of the module's sequences and their settings will return to factory default
- All Trigger Settings: All of the module's trigger settings will return to factory default
- Highlight the option you would like to reset, then press EXEC (F4).
- A window will appear asking you to confirm your choice. To confirm and reinitialize the selected settings, press YES (F1). To Cancel, press CANCEL (F2 or F2).

Alesis Qs6.2 / Re-initialized and now no Sound on any Bank?
All user voices are erased when it is reinitialized. You'll have to restore from a backup or sit down and rewrite them all.
This is why I suggest always making a backup of anything important becasue even an electronic failure could cause a data loss and buying a new one won't help if you don't have abackup to restore from.

Backup sr16 to another sr16
You can send the current patches and programs along with your songs and sequences via MIDI cable from one to the other. Done it many times using a MIDI thing called SYSEX dumps.
You have to hook the MIDI OUT of the unit you want to duplicate to the MIDI IN of the new machine.
Go through the SYSTEM menu and there is a menu item for SYSEX DUMP. Select that and hit the enter and the new one will receive the dump. Both of them will be programmed identically.

Right speaker sounds louder than
Besides checking balance, cables and length of cables can cause that. If cable is weak, or if one side is longer than the other, you'll get that effect
I get a loud crack sound when I switch on the drum
That would be normal - the order you power up equipment is very important. Always start with peripherals and work toward the power amp. Powering off is reverse - power amp first.
You can also mute the mixer channel you're plugged into before powering up the drum machine but get into the habit of proper power sequence.
