Common Troubleshooting
It sounds like the samples are "cutting off" when playing hits in succession
For most instruments, the trigger or pad should be set up in
Playback: POLY
mode. This allows multiple
instances of the instrument’s samples to overlap. See
of this guide for more information.
I get the message "Path Not Found" when loading an instrument
This message usually means that the instrument file
(e.g. PP13x7 Mixed Head Lite.sin)
cannot locate the
samples associated with the instrument
(e.g. PP HC vel01-001.wav)
. It is likely that the file path of the samples
is incorrect. The .sin instrument files will look for the exact file path outlined in the installation instructions:
[SD Card]: Samples /
eDW PP13x7 Direct & OH
eDW PP13x7 Direct
eDW PP13x7 Extra Room
eDW PP13x7 Full Mix
Within each of these 4
folders, there should be 6 subfolders containing the sample files:
Cross-stick; Head Center; Head Side; Rim Click; Rimshot; Rimshot Side
If any of these folders are placed within another directory, the module will not be able to locate the samples
for the instrument and you will encounter this message. Please see
of this guide for more information.
I don’t have the listed folders on my Strike SD card
Your supplied SD card should have the correct file structure on it. If you are using a brand new SD card and it
does not contain any folders, or you have somehow lost the folders from your SD card, insert the SD card into
your Strike module and turn the module on. This should create the correct SD card file structure for you.
Note:
The SD Card Specification for compatibility can be found on

Alesis Strike Module User Guide

I don’t have a copy of my Alesis Strike Module User Guide
