7.11 CLEAR MEMORY/RE-INITIALIZE PARAMETERS
After saving a bank of data, you may want to start programming new Patterns from scratch so
you don't mix up new Patterns with old ones. This operation clears the memory and re-
initializes all parameters. It can also be a useful service technique to restore the SR-16 to
normal operation if it "locks up" due to some unforeseen event like a static electricity jolt or
power supply interruption.
All existing Patterns, Songs, and drum assignments will be lost when you clear memory.
Save the SR-16's memory to tape or MIDI unless you are absolutely sure you don't need it.
To re-initialize, turn off power and wait a few seconds. Press and hold the PLAY and ERASE
buttons while turning on power. Continue holding these buttons down for at least three
seconds after turning on power.
7.12 CHECK SOFTWARE VERSION
VERSION
1.00
To determine the software version in your SR-16, press the FILL button at any time you're in
the Backup menu. The display will show VERSION and the current software number.
Background There are two main reasons why it's important to know the software version.
• It is possible that the SR-16's operating system software may undergo changes or other enhancements at some
point in the future. This will let you know whether you have the enhanced software or not.
• Should you experience problems with the SR-16 and call Alesis for technical support, it is important to know
which software your machine is using.
