DM5

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.
