Alesis DM10 Manual Do Utilizador

 

 

 
The DM10's Ext. Trig Menu contains several pages of parameters related to triggering (striking pads, 
cymbals, etc.).  The settings in these pages affect ALL Kits. 

 

 

The INP page of the Ext. Trig Menu contains some parameters that affect the triggers' sensivity and function 
within the module. 

1.

 

Press EXT TRIG to enter the main Ext. Trig Menu page.  
The first page shown should be INP (F1). 

2.

 

Select the trigger whose parameters you want to edit by 
pressing NOTE CHASE then striking the desired trigger.  
Alternatively, you can highlight the trigger name at the top 
of the screen using the CURSOR UP / DOWN buttons to 
highlight it and use the VALUE UP / DOWN buttons or 
VALUE DIAL to change it.   

3.

 

Use CURSOR UP / DOWN to move through the menu items and VALUE UP / DOWN buttons or the 
VALUE DIAL to adjust the settings: 
• 

Sensitvty: The gain control for the trigger (00-99).  The 
higher the setting, the easier it will be to trigger louder 
sounds with lighter hits.  When setting this parameter, 
strike the trigger and watch the level meter in the upper-
right hand corner of the LCD.  If it is "clipping" or maxing 
out too soon, reduce this setting.  The meter should only 
reach its maximum when you are striking the trigger at 
your hardest. 

• 

Function: You can assign different functions for the trigger to execute when you strike it: 

o

 

Trigger: The associated drum Voice will sound 
when you strike the trigger. 

o

 

Next Kit: The current Kit number will increase by 
one when you strike the trigger. 

o

 

Prev Kit: The current Kit number will decrease by 
one when you strike the trigger. 

o

 

Tap Tempo: The trigger will function as the TAP 
TEMPO button, entering a new tempo for the sequencer when struck repeatedly. 

o

 

Seq Play: Striking the trigger will play the current Sequence. 

o

 

Seq Stop: Striking the trigger will stop the currently playing Sequence. 

o

 

Play/Stop: The trigger will function alternately as a "play/stop" button for the current 
Sequence.  Striking the trigger once will start playback; striking it during playback will stop 
the Sequence. 

o

 

Record: The trigger will function as a "record" button for the sequencer. 

o

 

Rec/Stop: The trigger will function alternately as a "record/stop" button for the sequencer.  
Striking the trigger once will start recording; striking it during recording will stop it. 

• 

InputType: Select the type of trigger you have connected to the input.  Select "PIEZO" for 
triggers like pads or cymbals.  Select "SWITCH" if you are using a drum pad with a rim switch, a 
cymbal with an edge switch, or a footswitch.  (Note: This parameter is only seen on certain 
pages.) 

4.

 

When you have finished making your edits, you can press EXIT or any button that will enter another 
screen (e.g., DRUM KIT, UTILITY, etc.  Your edits will remain for that session (i.e., until you turn off the 
module).
