so can you only store 8 patterns on this drum machine? and if so is the memory expandable?

It's not expandable but the human memory is virtually limitless. Embrace the ephemerality of your sequences until we reach the singularity.

My machine has two 4GB chips, totaling 8GB. But the machine has 4 slots, so I could expand to 16GB without replacing the memory chips I have. In principle I could expand to 24GB by using 8GB chips. However, I use the machine for video editing, and I have a VM running Linux in addition, and I don't feel the need to expand, yet... Ronny

Hey Kelly, the DP-03 doesn't have a drum machine, either. I don't really recall seeing any newer multitrack recorders featuring these, except for the Zoom R24 recorder. It is similar in price to the Tascam DP-03, but without a disc burner. On the other hand, it will also function as an audio interface for your computer, and has the built-in drum machine.Isn't it annoying how recorders all have only *some* of the features you find useful? :P

You can use 8Gb modules, there's only 2 DIMMS. I'm using Corsair DDR 3 16GB kit of 2 8Gb 1600Mhz

Hello, There are 2 memory slots. You can install another 4GB module in the second slot. Best regards, Amuras

I have been recording for years but - I was the guy saying can you give me another track for this or that. Never touched the buttons and my friend has a vast system so have been intimidated to start on my own. Can you create a mix and bump 3+ tracks down to 1 line then have extra tracks open to add more?

Yes. You can record 2 new tracks at a time and it plays all the tracks while you are recording the new ones. If you don't want to hear the other tracks, you can manually turn them down or mute them. Hope this helps. it is a magnificent machine for the price.

It takes up about a 4' X 2' space. Total space will depend on how you set up the drum kit.

It only records 2 tracks at a time but you can control 8 channels on a daw. Through USB midi interface. But you can only record 2 tracks at a time.

Via Alesis; (YES)"Inputs and Outputs The Alesis DM10 module has 12 trigger inputs, perfect for creating custom configurations. You can use it with virtually all drum and cymbal pads and acoustic drum triggers thanks to easy-to-configure trigger settings. The DM10 also has full MIDI implementation so if 12 trigger inputs aren't enough to accommodate your giant setup, just add the Trigger"iO (sold separately) and keep adding on with 10 more inputs!"

Hi Marty, You can only input 2 tracks at a time.. If you can record your band with 2 mikes.. then you burn to CD.. or if you have another mixer for more mikes and connect to 2 inputs of the 03 this would work well. You have 8 tracks on the 03 but can record only 2 at a time.. so mixer -- to 03 --- then burn Cd with 03 would work well.. 8 track mixers are not expensive, some under around 100$.. paul

No. You can program up to 40 songs. The player "remembers" them until you erase the memory. You can shut off the machine, remove the discs with the tracks in the memory file, play other discs, then play the discs with songs in an active memory file. The machine holds that file until you delete it.

Yes, it can be extendable to 16 GB RAM. There are 2 slots and you can have two 8 GB RAM

Yes you can. There are two memory slots and you can put 8GB in each, but you will discard of sell the original 4GB

I believe each trigger has nine velocity layers. So nine levels per drum/cymbal. However I never used any of the module sounds because they are terrible. Use the midi out function and find a good software drum library. You can adjust velocity curves more accurately from an external source anyway.

I believe there are only two slots for ram memory sticks and both are being used by the existing 2 gig of ram each. To get it up to 8 gigs you may need to remove both memory sticks and install 2 new ones of 4 gig each. Basically you are throwing away the existing ram to upgrade to full 8 gigs. As for me, since I only use it as a multimedia server for my bedroom the 4 gigs is very adequate. Good luck.

I save everything to a looper. I move everything to the Boss looper and then build on that. I can connect that to the PC and wash everything through Acid. I have had this drum machine for 4 years... It has never crashed.
