How to Perform a Factory Reset on a Strike Multipad
Alesis Strike Multipad factory reset instructions
In this guide, we will show you how to back up User Kits and perform a factory reset on an Alesis Strike Multipad. A factory reset will restore the device settings and kits to the original out-of-the-box defaults.
Back up user kits
When restoring the Strike Multipad to its factory default settings, it will erase all User Kits. Just like backing up computer files, having a back up of all of your User Kits available can get you going again without needing to start from scratch. You will need a USB thumb drive which is formatted to FAT32 in order to back up your kits, so follow these steps to complete a system back up.
- Format a USB thumb drive to FAT32, and then connect it to the USB MEMORY port on the back of the unit.
- Press the Utility button, and then press the F6 button below the display to enter the backup and restore mode.
- Select Save All User Kits and press the main encoder to begin the back up. You will be prompted when the back up is complete.
Perform a factory reset
The factory reset option is located in the same menu where you performed the backup and only takes a few moments. Once the reset is complete, load any User Kits you saved to a USB thumb drive back onto your Strike Multipad.
- Select Restore Factory Settings, and press the main encoder to begin the reset process.
- When prompted, press the encoder again to restart the unit.
- Press the Utility button, and then press the F6 button below the display to enter the backup and restore mode.
- Select Load All User Kits, and press the main encoder to load the User Kits back onto your hardware.
- If you have multiple back-ups on the thumb drive, use the main encoder to select which back-up file you wish to load.
