Alesis DM5 - 16 Voice Polyphonic Rackmount Drum/Percussion Sound Playback Module
- No Longer Available
The DM 5 is a very versatile drum module embedded with some very expressive performance features, and a sensible, easily navigated, and, well..... DRUMMER-friendly design . Apart from use as a remote MIDI playback module for sequencing and sound replacement, the sounds of the DM 5 can be triggered from electronic drum pads or triggered acoustic drums. There are 12 trigger inputs with 5 programmable parameters each, and the trigger-to-MIDI conversion is seamless, and generally, glitchless.
The Expanded Dynamic Articulation feature of the DM 5, invoked via MIDI or the trigger inputs, imparts a high degree of realistic tonal and dynamic variation to the individual drum sounds, as does the unit's 127-level velocity response. And that means greater expressiveness and nuance in performance. Over 540 samples of drum sounds are available, many recorded in true stereo, some with ambient effects, and all recorded at 48 kHz.
- Over 540 different kicks, snares, toms, cymbals, hi-hats, percussion and special effect samples
- 12 fast trigger inputs for drummers using electronic pads or triggered acoustic drums
- 5 Programmable parameters per Trigger
- Random Sample feature varies sample response during playback for added realism and energy; good sound replacement tool
- Expanded Dynamic Articulation feature modulates volume, tone, and pitch, allowing the sound of a drum to change depending on how hard the triggering pad or drum is hit
- 2 independent stereo audio outputs allowing for external independent level control and effects processing
