Using Follow Me; Using Drum Mute; Automatic Power-Off - Alesis DMLITE Guia Del Usuario

Using Follow Me

Follow Me helps you practice identifying different drums by their sound and memorizing drum
rhythms that use the entire drum kit. In this exercise, a drum loop will repeat, alternating
between (1) the drum pattern itself and (2) a metronome track of the same length during which
you play the drum pattern yourself.
To use Follow Me:
1. Press the Pattern Button and Tempo Button at the
same time, and then press the 4 Button.
2. Press the Start/Stop Button.
3. Use the – and + Buttons to select the drum pattern you want to
play to.
4. Press the Start/Stop Button to begin.
5. When you hear the drum pattern, try to
learn which pads are being played and
when. During the metronome track that
follows, play the same drum pattern in time
with the metronome. For reference, the
display will show the current beat. The six
LEDs of the 1-5/Variation Buttons indicate
how accurate you are.
6. Press the Start/Stop Button to stop.

Using Drum Mute

Drum Mute lets you silence certain parts of various drum patterns, allowing you to play freely
and create your own parts over the rest of the drum pattern.
To use Drum Mute:
1. Press the Pattern Button and Tempo Button at the
same time, and then press the 5 Button.
2. Press the Start/Stop Button.
3. Use the – and + Buttons to select the drum pattern you want to
play to.
4. Press one or several of the 1-5/Variation Buttons to select the sound or sounds you want
to mute:
• 1: Kick drum
• 2: Snare drum
• 3: Hi-hat
• 4: Toms
• 5: Crash and ride cymbals
• Variation: Percussion
5. Press the Start/Stop Button to begin.
6. Play freely along with the drum pattern you hear. The drum pattern will not include any
sounds you muted in Step 4, allowing you to create your own part.
7. Press the Start/Stop Button to stop.

Automatic Power-Off

To save energy, the drum module will power off automatically after 30 minutes of no activity. If
you do not need this feature, disable it by powering off the drum module, and then pressing and
holding the Start/Stop Button while powering it back on. PoF will appear on the display to
confirm the feature is off.
Note: After powering off, this feature will be re-enabled. Repeat the procedure above to disable
it each time you power on the module.
