You can use Your SDS 9 to trigger some sounds on your D4 and vice
versa. First, set the same MIDI channel on both brains. Then adjust the
corresponding note numbers between snare, toms, etc. I suggest adjusting them
on the '9' as the Alesis box is probably closer to General MIDI and things
may become more confusing if you add more modern gear and it doesn't work
w/out making more adjustments.
If you need a manual in a hurry try schematicconnection.com. I don't
like his reprinting. I think it looks cheap. But, If I were in your position
I'd just go ahead and buy from him anyway.
