Alesis CompactKit 7 User Guide - Page 6

Operation Kits Selecting CompactKit 7 has several different drum kits. Each kit is a collection of sounds that make up a typical drum set. To select a kit, press Kit and then use the Value Down/Up buttons to select the kit number (Preset Kit 001-045 or User Kit 046-050). A dot will appear in the display above Kit to indicate you are selecting the kit. To adjust the master volume, use the Master Volume Down/Up buttons (L00-L16). Editing CompactKit 7 lets you configure each pad separately. You can select an independent voice (sound), volume, panning, and MIDI note for each pad. Note: The MIDI note doesn't affect the sound of the kit during normal operation. It affects the MIDI note the pad sends to your computer over its USB port (e.g. to your recording software, virtual instrument plugin, etc.). See USB MIDI to learn more.
