ALESIS DM5 Details
Versatile, Affordable Drum/Percussion Sound Module
For drummers and MIDI composers on a budget, the Alesis DM5™ offers professional
performance features and an excellent selection of drum, percussion and special
effect samples. The DM5 puts over 540 sounds into a single rack space, many
recorded in true stereo and with ambient effects. Both classic Alesis studio
drum sounds and new cutting-edge sounds for the latest musical styles are well
represented. You'll find a great selection of kicks, snares, toms, hi-hats,
percussion instruments, special effect samples and more.
DM5's Expanded Dynamic Articulation™ feature allows drum sounds to change
volume, tone, and pitch depending on how hard they're hit – just like
real drums.
DM5's Random Sample feature brings new life to static tracks by realistically
varying the sound of the drum as you play.
The DM5 includes an ultra-fast trigger-to-MIDI converter with 12 trigger inputs,
5 programmable parameters for each trigger, 21 programmable drumsets, and four
audio outputs for discrete processing and control. Whether you're looking for
a MIDI-controlled percussion module, a drum replacement tool for mixing, or
an affordable answer for triggering sounds from electronic drum pads, the DM5
is the affordable solution.
