Drum SounD moDule
SERIOUS DRUm SOUnD. DM5 is a classic Alesis drum module for drummers,
programmers, producers, and anyone else who needs great-sounding drums
and percussion. DM5 contains 540 stereo, 18-bit drum sounds that can be
assigned to any of the 21 programmable drumsets.
Random Sample ensures you don’t get the same sound twice for creative
flexibility. Alesis’ exclusive Dynamic Articulation™ enables sounds to change
as you alter dynamic so the timbre reflects the way an acoustic drum responds
live.
This 1RU rack-mount module can accommodate 12 pads, each with five
adjustable trigger parameters, so DM5 can be used with any pads or triggers.
Built-in Alesis studio effects including reverb, ambience ensure that you can
send a complete sound to the PA or to your headphones with no additional
processing.
