Alesis DM10 Manual Do Utilizador

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the Alesis DM10 drum module! The DM10 includes lots of high-fidelity drum, percussion, and
accompaniment sounds giving you the sonic realism of acoustic drums but with the convenience and
flexibility of electronic drums.

This manual details all the DM10 module's features. If you want to learn fast so you can dive right into
playing, refer to the included Quickstart Guide. Or, for a brief overview of the module's features, see the
BASICS chapter. Of course, we also recommend reading through this manual so you can take full
advantage of all the amazing functions of the DM10.

Happy drumming!

•

Connect your electronic drum set's triggers to the corresponding inputs on the module with the
appropriate 1/4" cables. Dual-zone pads or cymbals

(e.g., a drum with head and rim triggers or a

cymbal that can produce bow and bell sounds) will require TRS cables to trigger both zones.

•

Plug 1/4” TS cables from the MAIN OUT or AUX OUT to an amplifier, mixer, or speaker system. (For
mono sound, you can connect only one output.)

•

You can connect a set of 1/4” TRS headphones to the HEADPHONES OUTPUT.

•

You can connect another audio device to the AUX IN using standard RCA cables.

IMPORTANT:

•

Always turn down your volume level(s) to zero before plugging or unplugging your cables from your
triggers or the module.

•

The DM10 module may be affected by static electricity. If this occurs, simply turn the module off
and wait at least a few seconds before turning it on again.

Refer to your electronic drum kit's assembly manual for more information on connecting it to the DM10
module.
