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 info

mation on connecting it to the DM10

module.

GETTING STARTED

Please read the following instructions to set up your DM10 module for its first use!

RESETTING THE MODULE TO FACTORY DEFAULTS

If you ever need to return the module to its original default factory settings, press and hold the EXIT and

STORE buttons simultaneously while turning it on.

CHECK FOR UPDATES

Since the initial release of this module, we may have released new firmware or sound ROM files. To ensure

your DM10 module has the latest sounds and software features, we recommend checking the "Docs &

Downloads" tab of www.alesis.com/dm10prokit for available updates. See the UPDATING THE MODULE

chapter for more information.

CALIBRATE YOUR HI-HAT PEDAL

The first time you connect a hi-hat pedal to the DM10 module, we

recommend calibrating it so the module can "read" the pedal's

movement optimally.

If you use the same hi-hat each session (even if you have disconnected

and reconnected it), then you shouldn't need to calibrate each time as long as you store your trigger settings

after calibrating (see STORING TRIGGER SETTINGS in the STORING & COPYING chapter for more

information). However, anytime you connect a different hi-hat from the previously connected one, you should

calibrate it.

To calibrate the hi-hat pedal:

1. Connect the hi-hat pedal to the module but do not press it down.

2. On the module, press EXT TRIG.

3. You will see a page with items including "Sensitvty" and "Function."

Use the CURSOR UP / DOWN buttons to highlight the "Input" field at

the top of the screen then use the VALUE UP / DOWN buttons to

select "HiHat."

4. Press CAL (F4).

5. With the hi-hat pedal completely raised ("open"), press CAL OPEN

(F1 or F2) and wait for a message saying the process is complete.

6. With the hi-hat pedal completely pressed ("closed"), press CAL

CLSED (F3 or F4) and wait for a message saying the process is complete.

7. Press EXIT to exit the calibration page (or press DRUM KIT to return to the main screen).

DEACTIVATE WRITE PROTECTION

Out of the box, the DM10 module is write-protected, so you will be unable

to save any changes you make to the Kits, Instruments, Sequences, etc.

To turn write protection off:

1. Press UTILITY.

2. Press SYS (F4).

3. Press O/S (F3).

4. Press MEM (F4).

5. Press VALUE DOWN or move the VALUE DIAL counterclockwise

until the "WriteProt" field says "OFF."

6. Press DRUM KIT to return to the main page.

Note: The module's HI-HAT

CONTROL TRIGGER INPUT

does not support keyboard-

style expression pedals.

THE BASICS

This section of the manual outlines the basic features and concepts of the DM10. Each section below refers

to another part of this manual that will explain the features in greater depth.

NAVIGATING MENUS & ADJUSTING SETTINGS

We designed the DM10's user interface to be as simple and as easy to use as possible.

• DRUM KIT – Press this button to select the Main Screen, where you can select the current Kit.

(From this page, you can press CURSOR DOWN to enter the Drum Kit Setup Menu, where you

can adjust the overall Kit volume level, MIDI Program Change settings, or restore the current Kit's

factory settings.)

• SEQ – Press this button to enter the sequencer, where you can select a Sequence to play and

adjust overall settings for the module's sequencer.

• EDIT INST or EDIT ACCOMP – Press one of these buttons to reassign the sound for a trigger or

to edit the sound of the Accompaniment track. You can also adjust other settings such as effects,

velocity-related parameters, MIDI settings, and more.

• EXT TRIG – Press this button to adjust sensitivity, crosstalk, thresholds, velocity curves, and

other settings for the triggers.

• UTILITY – Press this button to enter the Utility Menu, where you can adjust metronome and MIDI

settings, update or reset the module, and more.

You can navigate the menus and adjust settings and parameters shown on the module's LCD with the

following controls:

• F-BUTTONS – Pressing the F1, F2, F3, and F4 buttons will select whatever "tab" is displayed

above it on the LCD.

• CURSOR UP / DOWN – Press either of these buttons to move up or down through the menu on

the screen. (Pressing the CURSOR DOWN button while on the Main Screen will call up the Kit

Setup screen where you can adjust the volume and MIDI settings of the current Kit.)

• VALUE DIAL – Turn the wheel clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the selected menu item

(usually highlighted). This allows for quick adjustment of settings and parameters – the faster you

turn the wheel, the faster it will scroll through the options.

• VALUE UP / DOWN – Press the VALUE UP or VALUE DOWN buttons to adjust the selected

menu item (usually highlighted) one increment at a time. These buttons are better for more

precise adjustment of settings than the VALUE DIAL.

• EXIT – Press this to return to the previous menu.

See the TOP PANEL FEATURES chapter for more information about these and other controls.

KITS

The DM10 module includes 100 Preset Kits and 100 empty User Kits. A

Kit is a set of sounds that you can select in the module that will be

triggered by your drums when you play them. The Preset Kits come pre-

programmed so you can start playing with premium sounds right away.

The empty User Kits are for you to create your own by assigning individual

sounds to each trigger in the Kit. Furthermore, you can save over the

Preset Kits in user memory, allowing for even more creative space. (The

defaults can be easily restored by reinitializing the module).

To select a Kit, simply press DRUM KIT to enter the Main Screen,

then use the VALUE UP / DOWN buttons or VALUE DIAL to select a

new Kit number.

For more information on selecting and editing Kits, see the KITS, VOICES, ACCOMPANIMENT &

INSTRUMENTS chapter.

Important: At any given time, the DM10 module has a Kit selected and a Sequence selected. If you change

the Sequence, this will change your current Kit to the one that is associated with that Sequence. If you

change the Kit, this will NOT change the current Sequence. However, if you then play the current Sequence,

the chords or "hit groups" may sound unusual. In this case, we recommend muting Layer B of that Kit's

Accompaniment (see EDITING VOICE & ACCOMPANIMENT PARAMETERS for more information) or

muting the Accompaniment altogether by pressing MUTE ACCOMP.

VOICES: LAYERS & INSTRUMENTS

Whenever you strike a trigger on your electronic drum set (e.g., a

cymbal, a drum pad, etc.), it will trigger a Voice in the module. A

Voice is the sound assigned to that trigger. Each Voice consists of

two Layers, and each Layer has its own Instrument (a drum sound

such as a tom, snare, hi-hat, etc.) which can be selected or edited.

We created the dual-layer feature in the DM10 so you can play with

more powerful composite and layered sounds and timbres using

your electronic drum kit. You can make subtle or dramatic changes to the sound of your Kits by changing the

Instruments in each Layer. Furthermore, you can adjust certain parameters of the drum Voices (e.g., tuning,

velocity, reverb, panning, etc.) in the module.

For more information on selecting and editing Voices, see the KITS, VOICES, ACCOMPANIMENT &

INSTRUMENTS chapter.

VOLUME

You may have noticed that there are several ways to adjust the

volume of your performance when using the DM10. You can:

• Adjust the levels of the Voices in the Kit: Press

DRUM KIT to enter the main screen then EDIT INST.

Select the Voice to edit (top of the LCD) with the

VALUE UP / DOWN buttons or VALUE DIAL (or by

striking the trigger with NOTE CHASE on). Press LVL

(F2) to enter the Level page. (Remember that each

Voice has two Layers, A and B, which you can toggle

between by pressing the EDIT INST button.)

• Adjust the level of the entire Kit: Press DRUM KIT

to enter the main screen then CURSOR DOWN to

enter the Drum Kit Setup Menu, where you can set the

overall Kit level.

• Adjust the levels of drum sounds with the MIXER:

Slide the faders on the module's MIXER. Use the MIX

BANK button to toggle between the two banks of

sounds.

Please note the module's trigger sensitivity, threshold, velocity

curve settings can also affect the dynamics of your performance.

See the EXT. TRIG MENU chapter for more information on

adjusting these other settings.

SEQUENCES

The DM10's built-in sequencer lets you record, overdub, edit, play

back, and loop Sequences (drum patterns). You can adjust

settings like the tempo, time signature, and quantization for a

Sequence.

To access the sequencer, press the module's SEQ button and

navigate the menus or adjust the settings accordingly.

For more information on using the sequencer, see the SEQUENCES chapter.

Important: At any given time, the DM10 module has a Kit selected and a Sequence selected.

If you change the Sequence, this will change your current Kit to the one that is associated with that

Sequence.

If you change the Kit, this will NOT change the current Sequence. However, if you then play the current

Sequence, the chords or "hit groups" may sound unusual. In this case, we recommend muting Layer B of

that Kit's Accompaniment (see EDITING VOICE & ACCOMPANIMENT PARAMETERS for more information)

or muting the Accompaniment altogether by pressing MUTE ACCOMP.

STORING DATA

The DM10 module can store the information you enter for use in

future sessions. This includes Kits you edit or record, Sequences

you edit or record, Instrument or Kit parameters, and more.

Furthermore, while there are several slots for User Kits and

Sequences, you can also save over the Presets (the first 100 Kits

or the first 75 Sequences).

To store a Kit, Instrument, or Sequence, press the DRUM KIT

or SEQ button (respectively) to select the item you want to

store, then press the STORE button. (If you are storing a Kit or

Instrument, you will be asked to specify which.)

Use the CURSOR UP / DOWN buttons and VALUE UP / DOWN

buttons or VALUE DIAL to select the "From" Kit or Sequence (the

one you want to save) and the "To" Kit or Sequence (where you

want to save it to).

For more information on using storing data, see the STORING & COPYING DATA chapter.

UTILITY

The Utility Menu lets you control global settings such as the output

routing and trigger sensitivity as well as metronome, MIDI, and

tempo settings. You can also transmit SysEx data in this menu as

well as re-initialize the DM10 (i.e., return it to its factory settings).

To access the Utility Menu, press the module's UTILITY button

and navigate the menus or adjust the settings accordingly.

For more information, see the UTILITY MENU chapter.

KITS, VOICES, ACCOMPANIMENT & INSTRUMENTS

The DM10 Module has 100 Preset Kits and 100 User Kits, which you can select from the Main Screen. Each

Kit is a collection of Voices – or drum sounds – that are assigned to each TRIGGER INPUT on the DM10

module's rear panel. When a trigger connected to that input is struck, that Voice will sound.

Each Voice consists of two Layers, each with its own Instrument. Both Layers sound together, helping to

create powerful composite and layered sounds and timbres for a more dynamic performance.

You can change the sound of your performance by selecting different Kits or by editing the Kits by changing

the Instruments that make up each Voice. You can also edit various parameters of each Instrument

themselves (e.g., level, panning, decay, reverb, etc.) in each Kit.

IMPORTANT: At any given time, the DM10 module has a Kit selected and a Sequence selected. If you

change the Sequence, this will change your current Kit to the one that is associated with that Sequence. If

you change the Kit, this will NOT change the current Sequence. However, if you then play the current

Sequence, the chords or "hit groups" may sound unusual. In this case, we recommend muting Layer B of

that Kit's Accompaniment (see EDITING VOICE & ACCOMPANIMENT PARAMETERS for more information)

or muting the Accompaniment altogether by pressing MUTE ACCOMP.

SELECTING A KIT

1. Press the DRUM KIT button to bring up the Main Screen.

2. Use the VALUE UP / DOWN buttons or the VALUE DIAL to

select a Kit. The Kit number, name, and graphic will change as

you move through the different Kits.

3. Hit the triggers to try out the sounds of the Kit.

To make quick adjustments to the volume of different parts of

the Kit, slide the faders of the MIXER. (Use MIX BANK to

toggle between Banks A and B to access all available triggers.) Note that the levels you set with the

MIXER will be lost when you switch the module off. To set levels that can be recalled with the Kit, set

the "Level" parameters for the individual triggers (see EDITING VOICE & ACCOMPANIMENT

PARAMETERS in this chapter) and/or the entire Kit (see DRUM KIT SETUP in this chapter).

EDITING INSTRUMENTS IN A KIT

1. Press DRUM KIT to go to the Main Screen.

2. Press EDIT INST. The top of the screen will show the number

and name of the Kit whose Instruments (drum voices) you will

be editing.

3. Select INST (F1). The new screen will show:

a. the trigger Voice you are editing (the Kit number and

name of the Voice will be shown)

b. the Layer (each Voice consists of two layers, each with

its own Instrument)

c. the Category (the type or "class" of drum sound currently

assigned to that Layer)

d. the Instrument (the drum sound for that Layer)

4. Select the Voice whose Instrument you want to change by

pressing NOTE CHASE then striking the desired trigger.

Alternatively, you can highlight the Voice (next to the Kit number)

using the CURSOR UP / DOWN buttons to highlight it and use

the VALUE UP / DOWN buttons or VALUE DIAL to change it.

5. Select which Layer of that Voice you will edit by pressing EDIT

INST. It will toggle between Layer A and B.

6. Select the Category you want to assign to that Voice by pressing

CURSOR UP / DOWN to highlight the Category field, then use

the VALUE UP / DOWN buttons or VALUE DIAL to change it.

7. Select the Instrument for that Layer by pressing CURSOR UP /

DOWN to highlight the Instrument field, then use the VALUE UP

/ DOWN buttons or VALUE DIAL to change it. To hear the

currently selected sound, strike the corresponding trigger or

press PREVIEW on the module.

Note: The available Instruments

for the hi-hat and ride cymbal

Categories are pre-defined sets

of sounds designed to work

together (e.g., the hi-hat can

produce open, closed, "chick" or

splash sounds). You can assign

any Category or Instrument you

like for the hi-hat and ride cymbal

triggers, but because other

Instruments are designed to

work differently, the results will

vary.

EDITING ACCOMPANIMENT IN A KIT

1. When you are in the Kit whose Accompaniment you want

to edit, press EDIT ACCOMP. The screen will show:

a. the number of the Kit whose Accompaniment you

will be editing

b. the Layer (the Accompaniment consists of two

layers, each with its own Instrument)

c. the Category (the type or "class" of sound currently

assigned to that Layer)

d. the Instrument (the sound for that Layer)

2. Select which Layer of the Accompaniment you will edit by pressing EDIT ACCOMP. It will toggle

between Layer A and B.

3. Select the Category you want to assign to that Voice by pressing CURSOR UP / DOWN to highlight the

Category field, then use the VALUE UP / DOWN buttons or VALUE DIAL to change it.

4. Select the Instrument for that Layer by pressing CURSOR UP / DOWN to highlight the Instrument field,

then use the VALUE UP / DOWN buttons or VALUE DIAL to change it. To hear the currently selected

sound, strike the corresponding trigger or press PREVIEW on the module.

Useful informatio

bout Accompaniment:

The Accompaniment track includes the bass line and other synthesizer sounds that you hear when the

module is playing a Sequence. The drum track and Accompaniment track play simultaneously, and you

can mute either of the tracks as they play with the MUTE DRUMS or MUTE ACCOMP buttons.

Just as each drum Instrument of a Kit belongs to a Category (e.g., KICKS, SNARES, LATIN PERC, etc.)

Accompaniment Instruments are also grouped into several Categories: BASS, SYN BASS, FX, and HIT

GROUPS.

Also, just like drum Voices, the Accompaniment has two Layers of Instruments. Layer A is usually the

bass line. Layer B is often something different – another melodic line, chords, or "hits."

Instrument changes within or between the BASS and SYN BASS Categories may sometimes be

desirable – the bass will have a different tone or quailty while the bass line itself (the notes you hear)

remains the same. However, if you edit the Instruments in the FX or HIT GROUPS Categories, it may

dramatically change the way a Sequence sounds if it uses that Kit.

In this case, we recommend muting that Layer of that Kit's Accompaniment (see EDITING VOICE &

ACCOMPANIMENT PARAMETERS for more information) or muting the Accompaniment altogether by

pressing MUTE ACCOMP.

EDITING VOICE & ACCOMPANIMENT PARAMETERS

While editing your Kits by changing the Instruments in a

drum Voice or the Accompaniment, you can also edit

various parameters that affect each Layer and, therefore,

the Instrument on that Layer. You can do this for the drum

Voices or the Accompaniment, though some parameters below may only be editable for one of these.

1. Press DRUM KIT to go to the Main Screen.

2. Press EDIT INST to edit drum Voice parameters or EDIT

ACCOMP to edit Accompaniment parameters. The top of

the screen will show the number and name of the Kit

whose Instruments (drum Voices or Accompaniment) you

will be editing.

3. Select INST (F1). The new screen will show:

a. the trigger Voice you are editing (the Kit number and

name of the Voice will be shown). If you are editing

the Accompaniment, this will read "Accomp."

b. the Layer (each trigger sound or Accompaniment

track consists of two Layers, each with its own

Instrument)

c. the Category (the type or "class" of drum sound or

Accompaniment currently assigned to that Layer)

d. the Instrument (the drum or Accompaniment sound

for that Layer)

4. If you are editing a Voice, select the Voice whose Instrument you want to change by pressing NOTE

CHASE then striking the desired trigger. Alternatively, you can highlight the Voice (next to the Kit

number) using the CURSOR UP / DOWN buttons to highlight it and use the VALUE UP / DOWN

buttons or VALUE DIAL to change it. (This step is not necessary when editing Accompaniment.)

Note: You can also change the current Voice in this fashion in any of the subsequent menus. You can

also toggle between Layers by pressing EDIT INST whenever the "Layer: A B" selector is shown on the

upper right corner of the LCD.

5. Select any of the options at the bottom of the LCD using the

F-BUTTONS. Use CURSOR UP / DOWN to move through

the menu items and VALUE UP / DOWN or the VALUE

DIAL to adjust the settings.

• LVL (F2, 1st page):

 Level: The volume level for the selected Layer (01-

99 or "OFF").

 Pan: The panning for the selected Layer ("L50" to "MID" to "R50").

 Attack: The volume level of the initial attack of the note (00-99). This parameter is only

available when editing Accompaniment.

 Decay: How long the sound can be heard before decaying to silence (00-99 or "OFF").

Note: Setting this parameter to "OFF" disables the Decay parameter and the sound will be

heard for its entire duration with no "shaping."

• FX (F3, 1st page):

 Reverb: The amount of reverb on the Voice (00-

99).

 Effects: The Voice volume level sent to the DM10's

effects processor (00-99).

 EQ/Comp: This sends the Voice to the DM10's

equalizer and compressor ("ON" or "OFF").

• TONE (F1, 2nd page):

 Semitone: Tunes the Instrument ±12 semitones.

 Fine Tune: Tunes the Instrument ±50 cents.

 Filter: The cutoff frequency for the type of filter (see

below) (00-99).

 Type: The type of filter ("LOPASS" or "HIPASS").

Note: The DM10 will retain any changes

you make to the Instruments or parameters

as you move between the various Kits.

• DYN (F2, 2nd page):

 Vel>Decay: The velocity of a note will control

the decay time of its sound (±00-99). With a

positive value, higher-velocity notes will have a

longer decay time. With a negative value,

higher-velocity notes will have a shorter decay

time.

 Vel>Filtr: The velocity of a note will control the

filter cutoff (±00-99).

 Vel>Level: This lets you set how velocity-sensitive the Instrument is (00-99). The higher the

setting, the greater the dynamic range you'll have while playing. At "00," there will be no

dynamic variation at all.

 Vel>Pitch: The velocity with which you strike the trigger will control the sound's pitch (±00-99).

With a positive value, stronger hits will increase the pitch. With a negative value, stronger hits

will decrease the pitch. (This parameter is not available for anything in the BASS or SYN

BASS Categories when editing the Accompaniment.)

• OTHR (F3, 2nd page):

 Output: The output through which the Voice or

Accompaniment will be sent. When "MAIN" is

selected, the Voice or Accompaniment will be

sent out of the MAIN OUT. When "AUX" is

selected, the Voice or Accompaniment will be

sent out of the AUX OUT.

Note: If your Utility Menu setting for the "Output"

is set to "Main>Aux," the "AUX" option here will

show up as "AUX (N/A)." This is because the

AUX OUT signal is "mirroring" the MAIN OUT signal. See the GENERAL menu part of the

UTILITY MENU section for more information.

 Priority: How high the Voice's or Accompaniment's "polyphony priority" is – "LOW,"

"MEDIUM," or "HIGH." "Polyphony" is the simultaneous sounding of Instruments (e.g., if you

strike multiple triggers at the same time, like the hi-hat, snare, and kick drum). The DM10 has

64-voice polyphony, meaning up to 64 voices can sound at the same time. After exceeding

that limit, Voices or Accompaniment with lower polyphony priority may be silenced so the ones

with higher priority can sound.

 MuteGroup: The MuteGroup the Voice is

assigned to, if any (01-09 or "OFF"). When

two or more triggers are assigned to a

MuteGroup, a Voice that is currently sounding

will be silenced when another Voice from that

MuteGroup begins. There are nine available

MuteGroups.

Example: If your "Kick1" (kick drum) and "SnrHd" (snare drum head) are assigned to the

same MuteGroup, the decay of your snare drum will be cut off when you hit the kick drum and

vice versa.

 Playback: Indicates whether repeated strikes

of the same trigger will be considered

polyphonic (POLY) or monophonic (MONO).

When set to "POLY" (the default), successive

strikes of the same trigger will be allowed to

sound simultaneously as polyphony (see

"Priority" above). When set to "MONO,"

successive strikes of the same trigger will silence previous ones.

Note: The MuteGroup function is

especially useful for setting up multiple

sounds shared by the same instruments,

like "open" vs. "closed" triangle sounds or

struck vs. stroked güiros.

Note: The default Playback setting is

POLY, which is more natural for acoustic

drums. MONO is a useful setting for synth

drums or for emulating older drum

machines.

EDITING MIDI PARAMETERS

This page allows you to edit various MIDI-related settings for

each trigger. To edit them,

1. Press DRUM KIT to go to the Main Screen.

2. Press EDIT INST. The top of the screen will show the

number and name of the Kit whose Instruments (drum

voices) you will be editing.

3. Select MIDI (F2). The top of the new screen will show the

trigger Voice you are editing. You can select another

trigger by pressing NOTE CHASE then striking the desired

trigger. Alternatively, you can highlight the Voice (next to

the Kit number) using the CURSOR UP / DOWN buttons

to highlight it and use the VALUE UP / DOWN buttons or

VALUE DIAL to change it.

Note: You can also change the current Voice in this

fashion in any of the subsequent menus.

4. When you have selected the Voice you want to edit, select either of the options at the bottom of the

LCD using the F-BUTTONS. Use CURSOR UP / DOWN to move through the menu items and VALUE

UP / DOWN or the VALUE DIAL to adjust the settings:

a. MIDI

 MIDI Chan: The MIDI channel over which the trigger will transmit MIDI messages.

 MIDI Note: The MIDI note that will be transmitted. The number is the MIDI Note number; the

corresponding musical note is shown next to it. (Note: The MIDI note for the hi-hat and ride

cymbals is fixed and can not be reassigned.)

 Gate Time: The duration of the note sent from the trigger when struck. The available range is

from 00-99 ms, then note values (1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 – with regular and triplet

divisions for each value), or "OFF."

 Note Off: How the MIDI Note Off message is sent. When "NOT SENT" is selected, a MIDI

Note Off will not be transmitted. When "SENT" is selected, a MIDI Note Off will be sent after

the length of time specified by the Gate Time (above). When "ALTERNATE" is selected,

striking a trigger once will cause it to send its MIDI Note; striking it a second time will cause it

to send a MIDI Note Off.

b. CHORD / ARP: Select "OFF," "CHORD," or "ARPEGGIO." (Note: The CHORD / ARP function

is not available for the hi-hat and ride cymbals.)

 OFF: The trigger will transmit only the MIDI note assigned to it.

 CHORD: The trigger will transmit up to four MIDI notes simultaneously whenever it is struck.

You can select the additional three notes here. The number is the MIDI Note number; the

corresponding musical note is shown next to it in parentheses.

 ARPEGGIO: The trigger will transmit up to four MIDI notes but will "rotate" through them with

each strike (e.g., the first time the trigger is struck, it will send its first MIDI note; the next time,

it will send Note #2; the next time, it will send Note #3). You can select the three additional

notes here. The number is the MIDI Note number; the corresponding musical note is shown

next to it in parentheses.

EDITING EFFECTS PARAMETERS

On this page, you can apply a variety of effects such as reverb,

chorus, or delay to the entire Kit:

1. Press DRUM KIT to go to the Main Screen.

2. Press EDIT INST. The top of the screen will show the

number and name of the Kit whose effects you will be

editing.

3. Select FX (F4).

4. Select any of the options at the bottom of the LCD using the F-BUTTONS. Use CURSOR UP / DOWN

to move through the menu items and VALUE UP / DOWN

or the VALUE DIAL to adjust the settings:

a. RVB (reverb)

 Type: The kind of reverb applied (most often,

types of reverb are named after the kind of room

whose reverb is being emulated). To disable

effects on the Kit, select "OFF."

 Size: The size of the virtual "room" as designated

by the reverb Type.

 Color: The amount of high-frequency dampening of the reverb, which affects its tone.

 Level: The level of the reverb.

b. FX (other effects)

 Type: The kind of effect applied. To disable effects on the Kit, select "OFF." The effects –

and their editable parameters – are as follows:

FLANGER: Flanging is a kind of phasing or

phase-shifting. The DM10's flangers have the

same editable parameters.

Mono Flanger: Traditional flanging effect.

Stereo Flanger: Flanger with a simulated

stereo effect, creating a "wider" sound.

XOver Flanger: The flanging effect

"moves" around the stereo field.

Rate: The speed at which the sound will "flange."

Depth: How much of the delayed (or phase-shifted) signal is added to the

original.

Feedback: How much of the flanging signal will be routed back into the flanger

again, which intensifies the effect.

Level: The volume level of the flanging signal.

CHORUS: A chorus effect is produced by

adding a slightly delayed and slightly pitch-

shifted "wet" signal to the original ("dry") signal,

producing a sound with a depth similar to that of

a string section or choir. The DM10's chorus

effects have the same editable parameters.

Mono Chorus 1: Traditional chorus effect.

Mono Chorus 2: A variation of the

traditional chorus effect.

Stereo Chorus: Chorus with a simulated stereo effect, creating a "wider" sound.

XOver Chorus: The chorus effect "moves" around the stereo field.

Rate: The speed of the modulation of the chorus (or how much the signal is

delayed).

Depth: How much the chorus's delay varies.

Feedback: How much of the delayed signal will be routed back into the

processor again, which creates a thicker chorus effect.

Level: The volume level of the chorus signal.

VIBRATO: Vibrato is produced by causing the

pitch of a note to "waver" slightly back and forth,

creating a subtle pulsing effect. This effect is

often created by players of string instruments and

horns. The DM10's vibrato effects have the

same editable parameters.

Mono Vibrato: Traditional vibrato effect.

Vibrato: Vibrato with a simulated stereo

effect, creating a "wider" sound.

Rate: The speed of the vibrato (how quickly the pitch wavers).

Depth: How much the pitch wavers from the center/original pitch.

Level: The volume level of the vibrato.

DELAYS: A delay effect is a kind of echo, which varies depending on the size of the room it

emulates and the rate, volume, and decay of the echo. The DM10's delay effects have

some common parameters with some notable differences.

Mono Doubler: A very quick delay that

creates a "double-hit" effect.

Doubler: A very quick delay that creates a

"double-hit" effect in a stereo field.

Delay: The speed of the delay/echo.

Level: The volume level of the

delayed signal.

Mono Slapback: A quick – almost

immediate – delay.

Slapback: Quick delay with a simulated

stereo effect, creating a "wider" sound.

Delay: The speed of the delay/echo.

Level: The volume level of the

delayed signal.

Mono Delay: A traditional delay effect.

Delay: The speed of the delay/echo.

Feedback: How much of the echo will

be routed back into the processor

again, which creates a longer-lasting,

intensified echo effect.

Damp (dampening): The amount of

low- and high-frequency dampening of the echo. At negative values, the sound

of the echo gets progressively duller, which is the most "natural" echo effect.

This is also useful for simulating tape echo. At positive values, the sound of the

echo gets progressively thinner.

Level: The volume level of the delayed signal.

Delay: A traditional delay with two

independent delay lines.

LDly / RDly (left/right delay): The speed

of the delay/echo. This can be set

independently for the left and right

channels to create an even wider, more

varied sound.

LFBk / RFBk (left/right feedback): How much of the echo will be routed back into

the processor again, which creates a longer-lasting, intensified echo effect.

This can be set independently for the left and right channels to create an even

wider, more varied sound.

Damp (damping): The amount of low- and high-frequency dampening of the

echo. At negative values, the sound of the echo gets progressively duller. At

positive values, the sound of the echo gets progressively thinner.

Level: The volume level of the delayed signal.

XOver Delay: This delay has a stereo

effect. The echo pans around the stereo

field.

LDly / RDly (left/right delay): The

speed of the delay/echo. This can be

set differently for the left and right

channels to create an even wider,

more varied sound.

Feedback: How much of the echo will be routed back into the processor again,

which creates a longer-lasting, intensified echo effect.

Damp (damping): The amount of low- and high-frequency dampening of the

echo. At negative values, the sound of the echo gets progressively duller. At

positive values, the sound of the echo gets progressively thinner.

Level: The volume level of the delayed signal.

PingPong: This delay has a stereo effect,

but instead of echoing in both lft and right

channels simultaneously, the echo

alternates between them.

Delay: The speed of the delay/echo.

Feedback: How much of the echo will

be routed back into the processor

again, which creates a longer-lasting,

intensified echo effect.

Damp (damping): The amount of low- and high-frequency dampening of the

echo. At negative values, the sound of the echo gets progressively duller. At

positive values, the sound of the echo gets progressively thinner.

Level: The volume level of the delayed signal.

c. COMP (compression)

 Type: The kind of compression applied. To disable

the dynamic processor on the Kit, select "OFF."

 Compress (compression): The compression ratio

applied to the signal from the Kit.

 Out Level (output level): The output level of the

compressor. This is parameter is useful for boosting

the Kit's signal if its volume has decreased due to the

compression.

d. EQ (equalization)

 LF Gain (low-frequency gain): The amount of boost

or cut of the low frequency band (as determined by

the LF Freq setting).

 LF Freq (low frequency): The frequency the LF Gain

will boost or cut.

 HF Gain (high-frequency gain): The amount of boost

or cut of the high frequency band (as determined by

the HF Freq setting).

 HF Freq (high frequency): The frequency the HF Gain will boost or cut.

DRUM KIT SETUP

While selecting Kits, you can enter the Drum Kit Setup Menu

to access a few useful parameters pertaining to the current

Kit.

1. Press DRUM KIT to go to the Main Screen.

2. Use the VALUE UP / DOWN buttons or VALUE DIAL to select a Kit.

3. Press CURSOR DOWN to enter the Drum Kit Setup Menu for that Kit.

4. Select any of the options at the bottom of the LCD using the F-BUTTONS. Use CURSOR UP / DOWN

to move through the menu items and VALUE UP / DOWN or the VALUE DIAL to adjust the settings.

• MAIN (F1):

o Kit Level: The overall volume level for the Kit

(00-99)

o Graphic: The image used to identify the Kit on

the main screen.

• MIDI (F2):

o MIDI Chan: The MIDI channel over which the

module will send out Program Change

messages (01-16 or "OFF"). (When set to

"OFF," the other parameters below will not be

displayed.) You will need to set this properly

when using the DM10 module to play sounds on

another module.

o Ext Prog#: The Program Change number the module will send out (00-99).

o MSB: Sets the Most Significant Byte when using sounds on an external module that

requires bank changes (00-127 or "OFF").

o LSB: Sets the Least Significant Byte when using sounds on an external module that

requires bank changes (00-127 or "OFF").

• RESTORE (F3 or F4):

o Restore: Returns the Kit to its original factory

settings. Any edits you made to its Instruments,

Accompaniment, etc. will be discarded. To

restore the original settings, press RESTORE

(F1 or F2). To cancel, press EXIT.

Note: The DM10 will retain any changes

you make to the Instruments or parameters

as you move between the various Kits.

SEQUENCES

A Sequence is a recorded pattern stored in the DM10 module that includes drums and

Accompaniment. The drum part of the Sequence includes the Kit sounds (Instruments)

as well the recorded pattern itself. The Accompaniment is the music that plays along

with the drum part.

Sequences can be recorded, edited, looped, and stored. You can also mute the drum

part and/or Accompaniment while playing a Sequence.

To hear a demo Sequence, simply hold down SEQ and press PLAY.

Important: At any given time, the DM10 module has a Kit selected and a Sequence selected.

• If you change the Sequence, this will change your current Kit to the one that is associated with that

Sequence.

• If you change the Kit, this will NOT change the current Sequence. However, if you then play the current

Sequence, the chords or "hit groups" may sound unusual. In this case, we recommend muting Layer B

of that Kit's Accompaniment (see EDITING VOICE & ACCOMPANIMENT PARAMETERS for more

information) or muting the Accompaniment altogether by pressing MUTE ACCOMP.

Note: Whenever you edit a Sequence or make changes to any

paraeters, an "E" will appear in the upper-right corner of the

main screen of the Sequencer to indicate this. In order to retain

these settings for future sessions, you must store the Sequence

(see STORING SEQUENCES under the STORING &

COPYING DATA chapter).

PLAYING SEQUENCES

1. Press SEQ to enter the main screen of the Sequencer.

2. Use the CURSOR UP / DOWN buttons to highlight the

"Seq" field at the top of the LCD.

3. Use the VALUE UP / DOWN buttons or VALUE DIAL to

select a Sequence.

4. You can press PLAY to play the Sequence, or you can use

the CURSOR UP / DOWN buttons to select settings to edit

for that Sequence. Use the VALUE UP / DOWN buttons

or the VALUE DIAL to change the settings:

• Tempo: The speed (in BPM or beats per minute) of the sequence. You can set the tempo here,

or you can press the TAP TEMPO button several times at the desired tempo to enter a new one.

The range is 30 – 300 BPM.

Note: If the Tempo field of the Utility Menu's main page is set to "GLOBAL," the letter "G" will be

shown. If the Clock In field of the Utility Menu's MIDI page is set to "RECEIVE," the letter "E" will

be shown.

• Time Sig (Time Signature): The time signature of the sequence. The first number indicates how

many beats there are in a measure; the second number indicates the note value of those beats.

(Example: "3/4" means one measure is three quarter notes long. "12/8" means one measure is

twelve eighth notes long.)

• #Bars: The number of bars in the Sequence, which you can set from 1 to 99.

• Loop: You can set the Sequence to loop or to play only once.

5. Press PLAY to play the Sequence. A "" will appear on

the upper right-hand corner of the LCD.

To mute the drums or Accompaniment in the Sequence,

press the MUTE DRUMS or MUTE ACCOMP button,

respectively. The upper right-hand corner of the LCD

indicates whether the drums ("D") and Accompaniment

("A") are muted. When unmuted, the letter is highlighted.

(This is a useful tool when you want to play your own drum

patterns to the Accompaniment or vice versa.)

RECORDING SEQUENCES

1. Press SEQ to enter the main screen of the Sequencer.

2. Press the REC tab (F1).

3. Use the CURSOR UP / DOWN buttons to select

settings to edit for that Sequence. Use the VALUE UP

/ DOWN buttons or the VALUE DIAL to change the

settings:

• Track: The track of the Sequence over which you

will be recording – "DRUMS" or "ACCOMP."

• Rec Type: How the performance will be recorded. When "RECORD" is selected, the

performance you record will replace the recording on that Track of the Sequence. When

"OVERDUB" is selected, the performance you record will be added to the existing recording on

that Track of the Sequence.

• Quantize: The quantization level of the recording. When on, this function will "snap" all recorded

notes to the nearest interval of that measure, which you select. (For instance, if you select "1/8,"

any notes you record that do not fall on an eighth-note pulse will be shifted automatically to the

nearest one.) The range is 1/4 – 1/64 (regular or triplet) and "OFF."

• Swing: The amount of swing applied to the recording – 54%, 58%, 62%, or "OFF."

6. Press the module's REC button and record your performance.

7. When you are finished recording, press STOP.

EDITING SEQUENCES (DRUMS)

The editing screen for a Sequence's drum part allows you to see a visual representation of the drum pattern.

1. Press SEQ to enter the main screen of the Sequencer.

2. Use the CURSOR UP / DOWN buttons to select the

"Seq" field at the top of the LCD, then use the VALUE

UP / DOWN buttons or the VALUE DIAL to select the

Sequence you want to edit.

3. Press REC (F1). Use the CURSOR UP / DOWN

buttons to select the "Track" field, then use the VALUE

UP / DOWN buttons or the VALUE DIAL to select

"DRUMS."

4. Press EDIT (F2). You will see a grid on the screen. The diamonds indicate triggered notes or "events";

the black diamond is the currently selected event. Each column represents an interval/subdivision of

the bar. Each row of the grid represents a drum Voice:

• K = kick drum

• S = snare drum

• HH = hi-hat

• T1 = 1st tom

• T2 = 2nd tom

• T3 = floor tom

• C = crash cymbal

• R = ride cymbal

• P1 = Ride2 / Perc1 trigger

• P2 = Perc2 trigger

• P3 = Perc3 trigger

• P4 = Perc4 trigger

• The numbered rows correspond to available MIDI note numbers.

5. You can use the following controls to edit your Sequence in this screen:

• CURSOR UP / DOWN scrolls up or down, allowing you to view other parts of the editing grid.

• You can move through the Sequence in several ways:

o by bar: Press and hold STOP and press either PLAY /  or RECORD /  to step through

the Sequence bar by bar.

o by event: Use CURSOR < / > (F3 and F4) or press and hold STOP and use the VALUE UP

/ DOWN to step through the Sequence event by event. Each event will play as it is

selected.

o "scrubbing": Press and hold STOP and turn the VALUE DIAL to move fluidly through the

Sequence. The Sequence will play back at the speed with which you rotate the VALUE

DIAL.

• VALUE UP / DOWN or the VALUE DIAL will either shift

the event in time (earlier or later) or adjust its velocity

(higher or lower), depending on the setting of the F2

button.

• TIME / VELO (F2) lets you toggle between two views

of the editing grid. When TIME is selected, using the

VALUE UP / DOWN buttons or the VALUE DIAL will

adjust the timing of the selected event, moving it

forward or backward in the Sequence (the current

"click" * number will be shown in the upper right-hand

corner of the LCD). When VELO is selected, using the

VALUE UP / DOWN buttons or the VALUE DIAL will

adjust the velocity of the selected event, moving it

higher or lower (the current velocity will be shown in

the upper right-hand corner of the LCD).

• DEL (F1) will delete the selected event from the

Sequence. A window will ask you to confirm this choice before deleting it – select YES (F4), NO

(F3), or TRAK (F1), which will delete the entire Sequence.

6. 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 be retained in the Sequence for this session. If

you want to save your changes for future sessions, though, you will need to store them (see STORING

& COPYING DATA for more information).

EDITING SEQUENCES (ACCOMPANIMENT)

The editing screen for a Sequence's Accompaniment is different from the one used to edit drums.

1. Press SEQ to enter the main screen of the Sequencer.

2. Use the CURSOR UP / DOWN buttons to select the "Seq"

field at the top of the LCD, then use the VALUE UP / DOWN

buttons or the VALUE DIAL to select the Sequence you

want to edit.

3. Press REC (F1). Use the CURSOR UP / DOWN buttons to

select the "Track" field, then use the VALUE UP / DOWN

buttons or the VALUE DIAL to select "ACCOMP."

4. Press EDIT (F2). You will see a table of values. Each row represents a note or "event" in the

Sequence. Each column represents the events' positions and parameters:

• Bar / Beat / Clk * : The position of that event in the

Sequence by bar, beat (within that bar), and click (within

that beat). As you move down the table, you move

through the Sequence.

• Note: The MIDI note being sent. (See next page for an

explanation of how the sequencer refers to MIDI note

numbers.)

• Velo: The velocity of the note (1-127).

• Dur: The duration of the note, measured in clicks (1-

9999).

* Note: A "click" is just a

subdivision of a quarter note in the

DM10's sequencer, which defines

its resolution. The DM10's

resolution is 96 PPQN (pulses per

quarter note), meaning each

uarter note contains 96 clicks.

This is helpful to know while editing

Sequences' Accompaniment tracks

if you are trying to shift a note into a

precise position within a beat.

5. You can use the following controls to edit your Sequence in this screen:

• You can move through the Sequence in several ways:

o by bar: Press and hold STOP and press either PLAY /  or RECORD /  to step through

the Sequence bar by bar.

o by event: Use CURSOR UP DOWN to step through the Sequence event by event. Each

event will play as it is selected.

o "scrubbing": Press and hold STOP and turn the VALUE DIAL to move fluidly through the

events in the Sequence. The Sequence will play back at the speed with which you rotate

the VALUE DIAL.

• CURSOR < / > (F3 and F4) moves the cursor left or right, allowing you to select parameters to

edit.

• VALUE UP / DOWN or the VALUE DIAL adjusts the selected parameter.

• DEL (F1) will delete the selected event from the

Sequence. A window will ask you to confirm this

choice before deleting it – select YES (F4), NO

(F3), or TRAK (F1), which will delete the entire

Sequence.

6. 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 be retained in

the Sequence.

SETTING UP THE CLICK TRACK

The "click track" is the metronome that plays as you record a Sequence. It is an aid to help you keep steady

time. You can edit the click track settings from the Sequence page.

1. Press SEQ to enter the main screen of the Sequencer.

2. Press CLIK (F3). The top of the LCD will show the

number of the Sequence but with the title "Click Track" to

indicate you are editing the click track settings for the

Sequencer. (Note: The click track settings apply to all

Sequences.)

3. Use the CURSOR UP / DOWN buttons to select settings

to edit. Use the VALUE UP / DOWN buttons or the

VALUE DIAL to change the settings:

• Count In: Indicates when the click track will be heard before the Sequence records or plays. The

number of bars can be specified in the "#Bars" parameter. When set to "REC ONLY," the count-

in clicks will only be heard while recording a Sequence. When set to "REC + PLAY," the count-in

clicks track will be heard while recording a Sequence and while playing back a Sequence.

• #Bars: The number of bars (2-16) that will be counted by the click track before the module

actually begins recording. When set to "OFF," the Sequence will begin recording as soon as you

press the module's REC button with no count-in. When set to "NOTE ON," the Sequence will

begin recording from the first note that is sent to it (e.g., when you strike the first trigger, the

Sequence will immediately start to record) with no count-in.

How the DM10 module's sequencer refers to MIDI note numbers:

When editing the Accompaniment track of a Sequence, you may notice the "Note" column contains the

names of musical notes – A4, D#5, etc. However, the name of the note shown here may not be the

actual musical note you hear.

On the Accompaniment tracks, the bass notes are mapped chromatically to MIDI notes A0 to A3. In

other words, when the "Note" column shows a note from A0 to A3, which is the actual note you are

hearing the bass play.

The Accompaniment tracks also contain other (non-bass, non-drum) samples, such as chords, "hits," and

other sounds. These samples are mapped to MIDI notes C#4 and above – but not in chromatic order,

and the collection of samples usually does not contain all chromatic notes.

• Metro (Metronome): Indicates when the click track will be heard. When set to "REC ONLY," the

click track will only be heard while recording a Sequence. When set to "REC + PLAY," the click

track will be heard while recording a Sequence and while playing back a Sequence. When set to

"MANUAL," the click track will be enabled or disabled by the module's METRONOME button.

• Sound: The sound of the click track. When set to "AS METRO," the click track will use the

Metronome settings from the Utility Menu (see the METRONOME (F1) part of the UTILITY MENU

section for more information). When set to "SIMPLE," the click track will use the default

metronome sound.

5. When you are finished, you can press EXIT or any button that will enter another screen (e.g., DRUM

KIT, UTILITY, etc.).

EDITING QUANTIZATION SETTINGS

If the notes of a Sequence are not precisely aligned with a bar's subdivisions (e.g., eighth notes, 16th notes,

etc.), quantization allows you to "snap" them into place automatically. This page lets you configure the

quantization settings for your Sequences:

1. Press SEQ to enter the main screen of the Sequencer.

2. Use the CURSOR UP / DOWN buttons to select the "Seq"

field at the top of the LCD, then use the VALUE UP / DOWN

buttons or the VALUE DIAL to select the Sequence you

want to edit.

3. Press QUAN (F4). The top of the LCD will show the

number of the Sequence but with the title "Quantize" to

indicate you are editing the quantization settings for that

Sequence.

4. Use the CURSOR UP / DOWN buttons to select settings to

edit for that Sequence. Use the VALUE UP / DOWN

buttons or the VALUE DIAL to change the settings:

• Track: The track of the Sequence – "DRUMS" or

"ACCOMP" (Accompaniment) – to which quantization

will be applied.

• Value: The subdivision of a bar to which all notes will

be quantized. For example, if this set to 1/16, all notes will be "snapped" to the nearest 16th

note. The range is 1/4 – 1/64 (regular and triplet) and "OFF," which will turn quantization off.

• Swing: The amount of swing applied to the quantization – 54%, 58%, 62%, or "OFF."

5. To apply quantization to the Sequence, press QUANTIZE (F1 or F2). A window will appear to ask you

to confirm this choice. Quantization can not be undone, so consider this before confirming. Press FIX

(F4) to apply quantization or CANCEL (F2 or F3) to cancel it.

6. When you are finished, you can press EXIT or any button that will enter another screen (e.g., DRUM

KIT, UTILITY, etc.).

STORING & COPYING DATA

The DM10 module will "remember" changes to your Kit, Sequence, or Utility settings during a single session,

but you will lose changes you have made once you turn the module's power off. To save your settings so

you can recall them in future sessions, you need to "store" them accordingly.

return to their defaults if you turn off the module. We recommend storing your settings when you change

them so you can use them in future sessions.

To store Ext. Trig settings:

1. Be sure you are in the Ext. Trig Menu by pressing EXT TRIG.

2. Press STORE.

3. A window will appear asking you to confirm your choice. Press

CANCEL (F2 or F3) to cancel storing your Ext. Trig settings.

Press YES (F1) to store them.

EXT. TRIG MENU

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.

TRIGGER INPUT PARAMETERS

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).

Note: When assigning a function

other than "Trigger," be sure that

the physical (hardware) trigger is

placed in such a way that it will not

receive "crosstalk" or otherwise

accidentally trigger as you perform.

Note: The Utility Menu allows you

to set the rough "global" sensitivity

of all triggers in the Kit ("Trig

Sens"). See the UTILITY MENU

chapter for more information.

TRIGGERING PARAMETERS

The TRIG 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.

Press TRIG (F2).

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:

• Xtalk Rcv * : How susceptible the trigger is to

"crosstalk" from other triggers (00-07). The higher the

value, the less likely crosstalk from other triggers will affect it.

• Xtalk Snd * : How likely the trigger will cause "crosstalk" in other triggers (00-07). The higher the

value, the less likely it will be a source of crosstalk on other triggers.

• Retrigger: How quickly the module processes repeated strikes of the same trigger (00-99). This

is the minimum amount of time needed between successive strikes of the same trigger for the

second one to produce a sound. (For instance, if your Retrigger setting is 50 and you strike the

trigger once, it will produce a sound if the next strike is at least 50 milliseconds later. Otherwise,

it will be silent.) (Note: This parameter is only seen on certain pages since it already affects both

zones of a drum pad or cymbal that "share" the same TRIGGER INPUT.)

• Threshold: How much velocity (force) is required for a Voice to sound (00-99). At lower settings,

very light strikes of the triggers will produce sounds. At higher settings, you will need to strike the

triggers harder to produce a sound. (Note: This parameter is only seen on certain pages since it

already affects both zones of a drum pad or cymbal that "share" the same TRIGGER INPUT.)

• ZoneXTalk: This setting adjusts how susceptible triggers on a "shared" input (e.g., the bell and

bow of a ride cymbal, or the head and rim of a the same drum pad) are to "crosstalk" from each

other. The higher the setting, the less likely these trigger pairs will cause each other to trigger

unintentionally. (Note: We recommend increasing this setting for drum pads on which you want

to produce "rimshots" by striking the head and rim simultaneously.)

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).

* A note about crosstalk:

"Crosstalk" occurs when a trigger is struck and the vibration from that strike is also "read" as a strike by

an adjacent trigger. For instance, if you strike the snare drum hard enough, it is possible for the crash

cymbal to sense the vibration of your hit (especially if they are mounted on the same rack) and trigger as

well. This unintentional triggering can be reduced or elimintated by adjusting the DM10 module's

crosstalk ("Xtalk") settings.

• When you increase a trigger's "Xtalk Rcv" ("Crosstalk Receive") setting, you are making that

trigger less susceptible to crosstalk from other triggers' vibrations.

• When you increase a trigger's "Xtalk Snd" ("Crosstalk Send") setting, you are making that

trigger less likely to be interpreted by the module as a cause of crosstalk.

In a general sense, these two settings essentially do the same thing: reduce crosstalk. However, there

are cases where adjusting one is better than adjusting the other:

Example:

While playing, if you find the first tom is unintentionally triggering as you play heavily on the

snare drum, you should increase the first tom's "Xtalk Rcv" setting to reduce its sensitivity to

strikes on the snare drum (as well as other triggers).

On the other hand, if you find playing heavily on the snare drum is unintentionally causing

several triggers to sound, you should increase the snare drum's "Xtalk Snd" setting so the

module interprets vibrations from the snare drum more strictly to reduce errant triggering on

the rest of the kit.

VELOCITY CURVE

The CURV page lets you set the velocity curve for the triggers, which

determines how a sound's volume is affected by how hard you strike it –

that is, how responsive the triggers' dynamics are to changes in your

playing.

1. Press EXT TRIG to enter the main Ext. Trig Menu page. Press

TRIG (F2).

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:

• Linear: The triggers will be consistently responsive to

changes in your playing, increasing at the same rate as the

force of your hits.

• Log 1-4: The triggers will be more responsive to changes in

your playing at lower velocities and become less responsive

at higher velocities.

• Exp 1-4: The triggers will be more responsive to changes in

your playing at higher velocities and become less responsive

at lower velocities.

• Spline 1-4: The triggers will be more responsive to changes

in your playing at lower and higher velocities and less

responsive at moderate velocities.

• Offset: The triggers will be consistently responsive to

changes in your playing at lower and medium velocities and

play sounds at the maximum volume at high velocities.

• Constant: The triggers will play sounds at the maximum

volume regardless of how hard or soft you hit them.

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).

MODE (RIDE BOW & BELL)

You should adjust this setting for the kind of ride cymbal you are using – a dual-zone ride (which has bow

and bell triggers) or a three-zone ride (which has edge, bow, and bell triggers).

To do this:

1. Press EXT TRIG to enter the main Ext. Trig Menu page.

2. Select the ride's bow or bell by pressing NOTE CHASE then

striking that zone on your cymbal 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 select either "RideBell" or

"RideBow."

3. Press MODE (F4).

4. Use VALUE UP / DOWN buttons or the VALUE DIAL to select "2 Zones" if your ride cymbal is a dual-

zone or "3 Zones" if your ride cymbal is a three-zone.

5. 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).

HI-HAT CALIBRATION

The first time you connect a hi-hat pedal to the DM10 module, we

recommend calibrating it so the module can "read" the pedal's

movement optimally. If you use the same hi-hat each session (even if

you have disconnected and reconnected it), then you shouldn't need to

calibrate each time as long as you store your trigger settings after

calibrating (see STORING TRIGGER SETTINGS in the STORING &

COPYING chapter for more information). However, anytime you connect a different hi-hat from the

previously connected one, you should calibrate it.

To calibrate the hi-hat pedal:

1. Connect the hi-hat pedal to the module but do not press it down.

2. On the module, press EXT TRIG.

3. You will see a page with items including "Sensitvty" and "Function."

Use the CURSOR UP / DOWN buttons to highlight the "Input" field at

the top of the screen then use the VALUE UP / DOWN buttons to

select "HiHat."

4. Press CAL (F4).

5. With the hi-hat pedal completely raised ("open"), press CAL OPEN

(F1 or F2) and wait for a message saying the process is complete.

6. With the hi-hat pedal completely pressed ("closed"), press CAL

CLSED (F3 or F4) and wait for a message saying the process is

complete.

7. Press EXIT to exit the calibration page (or press DRUM KIT to return to the main screen).

STORING EXT. TRIG SETTINGS

Any changes you make to the parameters in the Ext. Trig Menu will remain for the current session but will

return to their defaults if you turn off the module. We recommend storing your settings when you change

them so you can use them in future sessions.

To store Ext. Trig settings:

1. Be sure you are in the Ext. Trig Menu by pressing EXT TRIG.

2. Press STORE.

3. A window will appear asking you to confirm your choice. Press

CANCEL (F2 or F3) to cancel storing your Ext. Trig settings. Press

YES (F1) to store them.

EXPLORING OPTIMAL SENSITIVITY AND THRESHOLD SETTINGS

We created the DM10 module's default settings to allow for great playability right out of the box, but we

recommend experimenting with different triggers settings – particularly sensitivity and threshold – so you can

find the settings that best suit your playing style. Here is one recommended way to explore these settings:

1. Press EXT. TRIG to access the trigger settings.

2. Make sure NOTE CHASE is activated (the LED should be lit).

3. Strike a trigger on your electronic drum kit whose settings you want to adjust. The name of the trigger

will be displayed at the top of the module's LCD.

4. On the INP page, adjust the "Sensitvty" setting to an appropriate level as you strike the trigger with

moderate force, typical of how you play. The resulting sound should be neither too loud nor too quiet.

(Make sure the "Function" setting is set to "TRIGGER.") If the level meter in the upper-right hand

corner is "clipping" or maxing out too soon, reduce the sensitivity.

5. On the TRIG page, adjust the "Threshold" setting to an appropriate level as you strike the trigger as

lightly as you would while playing. You can use the level meter in the upper right-hand corner of the

module's LCD to see whether the module is detecting your hits.

6. After setting the threshold, return to the INP page and readjust the "Sensitvty" setting as you strike the

trigger with varying force.

7. Repeat this process for other triggers in your electronic drum kit.

8. Press STORE to save these changes.

Note that you can also adjust the velocity curve for each trigger, which can help in the "shaping" of the

triggers' volume levels relative to the range of force you use while playing.

Also, the Utility Menu allows you to set the rough "global" sensitivity of all triggers in the Kit. ("Trig Sens")

See the UTILITY MENU chapter for more information.

Note: The module's HI-HAT

CONTROL TRIGGER INPUT

does not support keyboard-style

expression pedals.

UTILITY MENU

The DM10's Utility Menu contains several pages of parameters that affect the module's overall operation as

well as system-related information and functions.

GENERAL

The main page of the Utility Menu contains some global parameters that affect the kit as well as the module

itself.

1. Press UTILITY to enter the main Utility Menu page.

2. Use CURSOR UP / DOWN to move through the menu items

and VALUE UP / DOWN or the VALUE DIAL to adjust the

settings:

• Tempo: Indicates how the module determines tempo

from pattern to pattern. When set to "PATTERN,"

each Pattern will have its own tempo (i.e., the tempo

can change when moving from one Pattern to the next). When set to "GLOBAL," the module will

follow a fixed, global tempo, ignoring the tempo specific to a pattern.

• Output: Determines the module's output routing. When set to "MAIN&AUX," the Drums and

Accompaniment tracks will be sent through the MAIN OUT with effects applied and through the

AUX OUT without effects applied ("dry"). When set to "MAIN>AUX," the signal sent through the

AUX OUT will be identical to the one sent through the MAIN OUT.

• Acc Pitch: The tuning of the module's Accompaniment. The default is a standard "A=440Hz."

The available tuning range is 430 – 450 Hz.

• Contrast: The contrast of the LCD (0-99).

METRONOME (F1)

Pressing MTRO (F1) from the main Utility Menu lets you access pages that contains the settings for the

module's metronome.

MEASURE (F1)

This page controls the sound and level settings of the module's

metronome.

1. Press UTILITY to enter the main Utility Menu.

2. Press MTRO (F1) to access the metronome settings. The

first page to appear will be MEAS (F1).

3. Use CURSOR UP / DOWN to move through the menu

items and VALUE UP / DOWN or the VALUE DIAL to

adjust the settings:

• MeasLvl: The volume level of the first metronome beat of every measure (00-99). (The first beat

is often louder than the others to mark the beginning of each bar.)

• MeasSound: The sound of the first metronome beat of every measure. (The first beat is often at

a slightly higher pitch than the others to mark the beginning of each bar.)

• BeatLevel: The volume level of the overall metronome beat (00-99).

• BeatSound: The sound of the metronome beat.

SUBDIVISION (F2)

This page lets you adjust settings for the subdivision metronome.

This is similar to the regular metronome but while the regular

metronome sounds every beat, the subdivision metronome

sounds during smaller intervals of each measure.

1. Press UTILITY to enter the main Utility Menu.

2. Press MTRO (F1) to access the metronome settings.

3. Press SUBD (F2) to access the subdivision metronome

settings.

4. Use CURSOR UP / DOWN to move through the menu items and VALUE UP / DOWN or the VALUE

DIAL to adjust the settings:

• SubDvsn: The length of each subdivision. The range includes 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, and 1/16 notes –

both regular and triplet. (Example: If the regular metronome is set to a 4/4 time signature and

"SubDvsn" is set to "1/8," you will hear the regular metronome on every 1/4 note as well as the

subdivision metronome on every 1/8 note.)

• SubDLvl: The volume level of the subdivision metronome sound (00-99). We recommend

keeping this volume relatively low so it is not confused with the regular metronome sound.

• SubDSnd: The sound of the subdivision metronome.

TAP TEMPO (F3)

This page lets you adjust settings for the TAP TEMPO button and

the tempo LED.

1. Press UTILITY to enter the main Utility Menu.

2. Press MTRO (F1) to access the metronome settings.

3. Press TAP (F3) to access the Tap Tempo settings.

4. Use CURSOR UP / DOWN to move through the menu items

and VALUE UP / DOWN or the VALUE DIAL to adjust the settings:

• Tempo LED: This setting lets you control when the tempo LED will be seen. When set to "ON,"

the tempo LED will flash all the time. When set to "PAT ONLY," the tempo LED will only flash

when a Sequence is playing. When set to "OFF," the tempo LED will never be seen.

• Tap Tempo: Enables or disables the TAP TEMPO button. Disabling it may be useful if you do

not want to make any unintentional changes to a Sequence's tempo.

METRONOME ROUTING (F4)

This page lets you select the module's outputs through which the

metronome sounds will be sent. This can be useful for maintaining

two separate mixes. (For instance, you may want to have a

monitor mix with the metronome sent to you through the AUX

OUT, but you want to have a separate mix without the metronome

for the house PA system.)

1. Press UTILITY to enter the main Utility Menu.

2. Press MTRO (F1) to access the metronome settings.

3. Press OUT (F4) to access the metronome output settings.

4. Use VALUE UP / DOWN or the VALUE DIAL to adjust the settings:

• OutAssign: This setting lets you assign the output through which the metronome sound will be

sent. When set to "MAIN," the metronome will be sent out both channels of the MAIN OUT.

When set to "AUX," the metronome will be sent out both channels of the AUX OUT. You can also

select "AUX L" or "AUX R," which lets you send it out only one of the AUX OUT channels.

Note: If the "Output" setting on the main Utility Menu is set to "MAIN>AUX," this means the signal

sent out the MAIN OUT will also be sent out the AUX OUT. In this case, the "OutAssign" settings

for the AUX OUT will display "(N/A)" next to it, indicating the metronome will not be heard over

this channel. (To make the AUX OUT available for the metronome sound, change the "Output"

setting on the main Utility Menu to "MAIN&AUX."

MIDI (F2)

Pressing MIDI (F2) from the Main Utility menu lets you access pages that contains the module's MIDI

settings.

INPT (F1)

This page controls the module's MIDI input settings.

1. Press UTILITY to enter the main Utility Menu.

2. Press MIDI (F2) to access the MIDI settings. The first page to

appear will be INPT (F1).

3. Use CURSOR UP / DOWN to move through the menu items

and VALUE UP / DOWN or the VALUE DIAL to adjust the

settings:

• Drum Chan: The MIDI channel number over which the drum sounds will be received (01-16 or

"OMNI," which sends it over all 16 channels) when played by an external MIDI device.

• Acc Chan: The MIDI channel number over which the Accompaniment will be received (01-16 or

"OMNI," which sends it over all 16 channels) when played by an external MIDI device.

• LocalCont: This "Local Control" setting determines whether the module receives MIDI messages

from the triggers or an external source. When set to "ON" (the default), the module's sounds will

receive MIDI messages from your connected triggers. Switch this setting to "OFF" when you are

using an external MIDI sequencer. (When using an external sequencer, if this setting is "ON,"

each note will be triggered twice – once in the module and once via the external sequencer.

Turning Local Control "OFF" ensures you will hear the triggered note only once.)

EXT (F2)

This page's settings determine how the module responds to external

MIDI controllers.

1. Press UTILITY to enter the main Utility Menu.

2. Press MIDI (F2) to access the MIDI settings.

3. Press EXT (F2) to access the external MIDI settings.

4. Use CURSOR UP / DOWN to move through the menu items

and VALUE UP / DOWN or the VALUE DIAL to adjust the settings:

• Prog Chng: Determines if the module will recognize Program Change messages from external

MIDI sources. When set to "OFF" (the default), the module will ignore Program Change

messages. When set to "RECEIVE," Kits can be selected via Program Change messages from

external sources.

• Clock In: Determines if the module will sync to an external MIDI clock. When set to "OFF" (the

default), the module will run off its internal clock. When set to "RECEIVE," the module's clock will

sync to the "master" clock of a connected external MIDI source.

OUT (F3)

This page controls the module's MIDI output settings.

1. Press UTILITY to enter the main Utility Menu.

2. Press MIDI (F2) to access the MIDI settings.

3. Press OUT (F3) to access the MIDI output settings.

4. Use CURSOR UP / DOWN to move through the menu items

and VALUE UP / DOWN or the VALUE DIAL to adjust the

settings:

• Prog Chng: Determines if the module will send out Program Change messages to external MIDI

devices. When set to "NOT SENT" (the default), the module will not send any Program Change

messages. When set to "SENT," the module will send Program Change messages to a

connected MIDI device.

• Clock Out: Deteremines if the module's internal clock will serve as the "master" clock for a

connected MIDI device. When set to "NOT SENT" (the default), the module will not send out any

MIDI clock information to a connected device. When set to "SENT," a connected MIDI device will

sync to the module's internal clock.

• MIDI Thru: When set to "ENABLED" (the default), the module's MIDI OUT functions as a MIDI

THRU. In this case, a device connected to the module's MIDI IN can send data through the

module to a device connected to the module's MIDI OUT. When set to "OFF," the module's MIDI

OUT functions only as a MIDI output for the module itself.

TRIG (F3)

Pressing TRIG (F3) from the Main Utility menu lets you access a page that contains the various trigger

settings for the module.

TRIG

1. Press UTILITY to enter the main Utility Menu.

2. Press TRIG (F3) to access the trigger settings.

3. Use VALUE UP / DOWN or the VALUE DIAL to adjust the

settings:

a. Trig Sens: The sensitivity of all the connected triggers – "LOW," "MEDIUM," or "HIGH."

Adjusting this setting lets you roughly set the sensitivity of the entire Kit but conveniently keeps

the proportions of your individual trigger settings. (To adjust the sensitivity of individual triggers,

see the TRIGGER INPUT PARAMETERS section of the EXT. TRIG MENU chapter.)

b. HiHat * : Select "NOTE+CC#4" or "NOTE ONLY." This determines whether the hi-hat MIDI note

will be sent with or without CC information (CC#4).

c. HH Splash * : Select "SENT" or "NOT SENT." This determines whether the hi-hat "splash" note

(generated by quickly pressing then releasing the pedal) will be sent or not.

d. Cym Choke * : Select "SENT" or "NOT SENT." This determines whether the cymbal "choke"

note (generated by grabbing the cymbal and touching the choke strip) will be sent or not.

Sequences, etc., but will not be able to store them. When set to "OFF," you can store these

settings.

UPDATING THE MODULE

To update the module, follow these steps:

1. If you have not done so already, download the updater

application from www.alesis.com/dm10prokit (under the

"Docs & Downloads" tab.)

2. Connect the module's USB port to your computer with a

standard USB cable.

3. Press and hold the module's REC button while turning it on.

(Windows users: If you see a message that says Windows

was unable to install a driver, ignore it.)

4. Open the DM10 Updater application.

5. Windows users: Select "USB Audio Device" (the DM10

module) from the "MIDI Interface" dropdown menu.

Mac users: The DM10 module will be automatically

selected.

6. Drag the appropriate file onto the application, or click "File" then "Open" and select the file. You can

upload SysEx (.syx) files – such as sound ROM files or firmware files – in this fashion.

Note: Since the release of this module, we may have released new firmware or sound ROM files. To

keep your module current, we recommend checking the "Docs & Downloads" tab of

www.alesis.com/dm10prokit for available updates for your DM10 module.

Note: Be sure to register your DM10

module at www.alesis.com to be

notified if new software becomes

available.

Note: Third party sound ROMs are

also considered updates and can be

loaded to the DM10 module in this

fashion.

Note: If you encounter an error

message while switching on the

module, it is possible the sound ROM

cannot be read correctly. In this case,

reload the sound ROM file and try

again.

MIDI SETUP

You can use the DM10 module as a trigger-to-MIDI interface, allowing you to use your electronic drum kit to

trigger sounds from external sound libraries. This means you can use your hardware kit to play sounds in

software drum modules like BFD, Toontrack, Reason, and many others.

You can also use external MIDI devices – such as MPCs, the Alesis ControlPad or PerformancePad, or other

MIDI controllers – to trigger sounds from the DM10's own extensive sound library instead of (or in addition to)

the electronic drum kit.

To use the DM10 in these ways, you will need to set it up to communicate with your external device(s) via

MIDI. Here are a couple examples of how to do this.

Using the DM10 to trigger sounds from a software drum module:

1. Connect the module's USB port to your computer with a standard USB cable. (Alternatively, you could

connect the MIDI OUT of the DM10 to the MIDI IN of a MIDI interface connected to your computer, but

we recommend using your computer's USB connection if it is available.)

2. Press UTILITY to access the module's Utility Menu.

3. Press MIDI (F2) to access the MIDI settings.

4. Press OUT (F3) to access the MIDI output settings.

5. Use CURSOR UP / DOWN to move through the menu

items and VALUE UP / DOWN or the VALUE DIAL to

adjust the settings accordingly:

a. Prog Chng: "SENT" (so the DM10 can send

Program Change messages to the software).

b. Clock Out: "SENT" (if you want the DM10's MIDI

clock to the be the "master" clock) or "NOT SENT" (if

you do not want the DM10 to send out MIDI clock

information).

c. MIDI Thru: "OFF."

6. Set your software to receive MIDI messages from the DM10 module ("USB Audio Device"). Consult

your software's manual for more information.

Note: These are just recommended

settings. You may configure the

DM10's MIDI settings however best

suits your performance needs. See the

MIDI section of the UTILITY MENU

chapter and the DRUM KIT SETUP

section of the KITS, VOICES,

ACCOMPANIMENT & INSTRUMENTS

chapter for more information.

Using an external MIDI device with the DM10's sound library:

1. Connect the DM10's MIDI IN port to your external device's MIDI OUT port using a standard MIDI cable.

2. Press UTILITY to access the module's Utility Menu.

3. Press MIDI (F2) to access the MIDI settings.

4. Press INPT (F1) to access the MIDI input settings.

5. Use CURSOR UP / DOWN to move through the menu

items and VALUE UP / DOWN or the VALUE DIAL to

adjust the settings accordingly:

a. Drum Chan: Set this to the MIDI channel (01-16 or

"OMNI") over which the drum sounds will be

received when played by your external device.

b. Acc Chan: Set this to the MIDI channel (01-16 or

"OMNI") over which the Accompaniment sounds will

be received when played by your external device.

c. LocalCont: "OFF" (otherwise, each note you trigger

will be heard twice)

6. Press EXT (F2) to set how the DM10 will respond to the external device.

7. Use CURSOR UP / DOWN to move through the menu items and VALUE UP / DOWN or the VALUE

DIAL to adjust the settings accordingly:

a. Prog Chng: "RECEIVE" (so the DM10's Kits can be selected via Program Change messages

from the external device).

b. Clock In: "OFF" (if you want the DM10 to run off its own internal clock) or "RECEIVE" (if you

want to sync the DM10's clock to the clock of your external device).

8. Set your external device's settings to send MIDI to the DM10 module. Consult your software's manual

for more information.

Note: These are just recommended

settings. You may configure the

DM10's MIDI settings however best

suits your performance needs. See the

MIDI section of the UTILITY MENU

chapter and the DRUM KIT SETUP

section of the KITS, VOICES,

ACCOMPANIMENT & INSTRUMENTS

chapter for more information.
