PEDAL/FOOTSWITCH COMPATIBILITY

The Continuously Variable (CV) Pedals and Momentary Footswitches which are

used must meet certain criteria for optimum performance with the DM Pro. The

momentary footswitches should be “normally open.” The recommended choice is the

Alesis “Sustain Pedal,” which is a momentary footswitch that ships with most of our

keyboard products. It is available through your Alesis dealer. It also may be obtained

directly through Alesis Product Support by calling 1-800-5ALESIS (1-800-525-3747).

There are two different types of CV Pedals needed, depending on which Pedal Input

jack you intended to use. For the Hat Pedal Input, the CV Pedal must have a “Hat

Down” resistance of less than 100 ohms and a “Hat Up” resistance of greater than

10k ohms. An excellent choice would be the Roland FD-7 pedal. Its response and feel

are very similar to that of an actual Hi-hat pedal. Be aware that if you use a different

type of CV Pedal, it must be the type where the maximum resistance is reached when

the pedal has its heel all the way down. Otherwise, it will appear to work

“backwards” when routed through the Mod Matrix.

For the AUX Pedal Input jack, the specifications are different. The pedal you use

needs to have a resistance range of between 200 ohms when fully closed to 20k ohms

when fully open (all the way forward). The Roland EV-5 pedal is a good choice.

Adjust the potentiometer on the side of the pedal for the most effective range from

down to up.
