Alesis SR18 Remove the Bass Guitar Sound 

you said "kind of frustrating" for you...Jeez man i almost tossed mine through my window. i HATE that stupid bass noise! thanks for this :) dave ;]

Thanks for this short & sweet explanation. What a ridiculous design decision to include bass lines by default. I'm a bass player looking for a home practice tool, and I'm strongly leaning towards the SR16 just so that I don't deal with this crap every single time.

My friend had this with no instruction book ....thank you so much for posting ..

Brilliant...just unpacked mine and tried it and like you went through the manuals to try to remove the infernal bass sound. Your short tutorial has probably just saved me days of messing about!! I can't understand why Alesis produce great drumbeat presets and then commit them to a key by adding bass.

Thank you so much! You saved me a lot of wasted time. Live long and prosper.

Thanks for sharing. FYI, this is cleary explained in the Reference Manual ;)

Thank you!! I recently got one of these and the bass was driving me crazy. Can't wait to try this out!

Intstructions at 1:46 Hold Mute, then tap Bass button, and/or Perc button. Thanks mate!

I just turned mine one for the first time and I was like mute bass mute bass. Argh thank you so much Sir

Thank you ! I've been trying to figure out how to remove those stupid bass lines since I bought it. I wanted a drum machine, and not a groove box. It's kind of surprising Alesis made it so confusing ?? Alesis products are usually very easy to understand how to work.

Just got an SR 18 and I was wondering how to eliminate the bass guitar. Thanks very much!

Yes! Short, direct, perfect!

Good video thinking of getting one of these. As someone that plays drums though I don’t get venues saying they don’t want a drummer cause they’re too loud. If the drummer is too loud then they’re a bad drummer. I play an acoustic kit every week with a piano and acoustic guitar and it’s fine. I just play quieter which any drummer should be able to do. I listen and adjust and as result I’m no louder the piano and every instrument can be heard perfectly well.

Thanks dude. I was going through a pattern edit "fix" that didn't fix shit, and the frigging bass was back every time I changed patches. Your fix is much faster and more global. Just have to use your fix every time I turn it on. Thanks again; you ROCK.

Thanks soooo much for showing us how to mute the bass. I was getting frustrated trying to figure it out...

This was Awesome and your right, it wasn't long. Just what I needed. Short and Sweet.

Thank you very much for the time and effort. It was very informative. I might add a slight usage variation where somebody might use the SR18 as a MIDI slave. You should also go to SYSTEM SETUP>BASE IN [OFF] in order to stop triggering bass from the master. Midi triggering will occur regardless of the mute Bass setting. I hope it helps :)

Thanks, man... You saved me a lot of time to search how to do that...

Awesome!! Thanks for this short tutorial. Just what I needed.

thanks a million. frustrating to say the least that something so basic is not mentioned in the manual, which is total crap in general.

Brilliant - thank you so much for this tutorial! Cheers!

You can also copy drum kit to a user kit and change the output of the bass to aux output and save the kit.

Clear and concise! Great machine.

1:45 to see how

Thank you for sharing, very clear explanation!.

Thank you for the help, thgis is a really big deal, you're amazing and you're right it is an incredible drum machine

Oh my God! So easy, Thank you so much!!

Thank you a bunch and a bunch, you really helped me out heavely with your straight to the point video tutorial.

Very helpful indeed!

Could have been 15 seconds with room to spare, but thanks!

Thanks a lot. Gracias from Mardrid ;-)

I can import and create Rythem with my own wave files?

Thank you very much!

Thanks Much! Kinda' makes you wonder why they didn't include something in the global settings to mute the bass.

Omg thank you so much!!!

Thank you!

I thought by pluging the guitar in the back it would change bass keys notes as you play. So why have the bass run if it's stuck in one key. Other then that I've got to get use to it

Thx

So....how do I eliminate everthing but the Kick????

Does it work strait away when you connect it to RC300? Do you have to set the looper up in a specific way? I have SDRUM pedal i wanna use with the RC. it recognises the rhythm as the tempo light is flashing in synched but when i lay down loops it deteriorates doesn't stay in synch. Any ideas why?

Thanks very much. So how do I change the time signature to 3/4 time? Can't seem to find that in the manual.

Too bad Alesis doesn't have an override to permanently shut off the bass and percussion which are worthless.

What key are the bass lines in...can that be determined?

Can you link to the tutorial you listened to?

que as dicho,no a esplicado nada ,no me enterado..eso seria por que ablas en ingles.
