Welcome to the DM Pro

DM PRO REFERENCE MANUAL 2 1

EXTERNAL TRIGGER CONNECTIONS

Plug all of the trigger outputs you will be using into the Trigger jacks on the rear of

the DM Pro. The DM Pro has recommended locations for each type of trigger (Kick,

Snare, Hi-hats, etc.) silk-screened below each Trigger jack. Although it is

recommended that you use these locations, any trigger output can be plugged into

any Trigger jack and programmed to perform as required (except for Trigger Inputs

15 and 16). For more about the Trigger section, see “Chapter 7: Triggers” and

“Appendix B: Advanced Trigger Information.”

IMPORTANT NOTE! Trigger Inputs 15 and 16 are not normal Trigger

inputs. They share a mono input jack, which is designed as a Pedal

input for use in conjunction with Triggers 13 and 14 for Hi-Hat

emulation. If you plug in a Trigger pad of some sort you will get no

response. For more information, see page 113 “The Interactive Hi-

Hat Performance.”

The default Trigger Note Assignments for the most part* follow the General MIDI
