My custom samples aren’t playing on my Alesis Sample Pad Pro.

Please note the following file requirements for loading samples on the Sample Pad Pro:

• The samples files must be 16-bit, mono or stereo .WAV files.
• You can use a SD card or SDHC card with a capacity up to 32 GB.
• The .WAV file must be located in the root (main) directory of the card and not in any folders.

  We recommend formatting your SD card to a FAT32 file system (if it is not already) and naming your sample files according to this format. Basically, this means:
  • Donotusethesecharacters:”*/\:<>?|

  • Do not use spaces.
  • Limit your file name to 8 characters (excluding the file extension, “.WAV”).
• You can assign up to 48 MB worth of samples per kit (the sample library on your SD card can be larger, of

  course). Also, please note that a sample’s size will be rounded up when loaded (e.g., a 2.1 MB sample on the

  SD card will be treated as a 3 MB sample when it is assigned to a pad).

• The max number of files that can be located in the root directory is 512.
• When a .WAV file is selected, it will take a few seconds to load into the memory.
• SamplePad Pro supports mono or stereo .WAV files, with a sample rate of 48K, 44.1K, 32K, 22.05K, and

  11.025K.

• When there is no SD card inserted, it is not possible to select the card location.
