Alesis Strike Pro module running 1.5 firmware but no new kits?

(1/4) > >>

BDrums2025:
I purchased a used Strike Pro Module, love it.  It's running the latest firmware update 1.5 but I notice it does not have any of the new kits installed... Big Bird, Amp Room, Spank, etc... And I don't see the kits from previous updates, such as Power Station, etc. either.

Is there way (or place) I can download the updated kits and add these to my module without having to use the Strike Updater and reload the 1.5 firmware again?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I would think you're fine to just reinstall 1.5.  don't forget to do the content update.  That is a separate install

You have a "Closet" Module...someone purchased years ago and put in a Closet and never updated..I have run into many of these where they were not properly updated and only the 1st part of the v1.5  update was done just to sell on ebay,Reverb etc as "current"

If the Power Station Kits aren't present then you have v1.2 Content..so you will need to start with v1.3 and proceed thru v1.5.

The links are direct downloads from Alesis/InMusic..eventually they will all be taken down as the last update.. v1.5..was  2019 and Modules sold since included all the content and v1.5 Firmware... all previous modules (from 2016-2019) are presumed updated as it has been 5 years since v1.5....6 years since v1.4 and 7 years since v1.3.

You can also add the Factory Content using the STRIKE EDITOR...which was used in some of the updates/instructions.

STRIKE Module Firmware /Editor Updates

v1.3 (Change log: Power Station New England Kit Expansion: Added two new preset kits.)..

Chaser, thanks for your response I really appreciate you helping my Strike to come out of the closet?. I have a Mackbook Pro M1, will the Strike Editor run on it being that it?s pretty old too?

Would I just download the content or do I need to do all the rest of the firmware updates too?  Or is the content / firmware one and the same?

I really appreciate your help.

If you have v1.5 Installed (DSP v1.50..Trigger v1.50)..and missing Kit's/Content back to Power Station..you'll only need the content.
Some of the Firmware updates used a different updater app....you could use the STRIKE EDITOR.
Unfortunately..you have waited too long.The Links were all active in April..as of today I checked and updated as many links as possible ..v1.4 Mac is no longer working (including from Internet Archives). and as of late 2023 the STRIKE Editor and Firmware updater is not listed as compatible with macOS 13 Ventura ..M1..
Rosetta works for some apps..I can't confirm for any of the Alesis as I stopped using macs a few years back as I got tired of the annual system changes breaking everything.

Alesis | macOS 13 Ventura Compatibility

You'll have to find/use a Windows machine...Unknown how much longer those will last also..

EDIT:
Updated Links under Firmware Updates...added Links here and image.
