System Architecture

DM PRO REFERENCE MANUAL 3 7

FUNCTION Function is a subset of Mode. A Function is a part of the

DM Pro software that contains a set of related

Parameters within a given Mode. For example, within

Drumkit Mode, the Mix Function contains the

Parameters for the level of a Drum, its Pan setting,

Output and Effects Buss Assignment and Effects Send

Level. Within Drum Edit Mode, the Filter Function

contains the Parameters that control the brightness of a

Sound, such as Cutoff, FENV>Filter, Velocity>Filter, etc.

PARAMETER Parameter is a subset of Function. A Parameter is a part

of the DM Pro software that conducts a specific task

within a given Function. For example, within the Mix

Function, the Drum Volume Parameter controls the level

of a Drum. Within Drum Edit Mode, the Filter Cutoff

Parameter controls the baseline brightness of a Sound.

VALUE Value is the amount, or setting of a Parameter. A Value

can be a number or a word. In the example, “AENV

Attack: 32”, the number “32” is the Value. In the

example, “FX Bus: REVERB”, the word “REVERB” is the

Value. Value is the lowest organization programming

level of the DM Pro – you cannot zoom in any farther

than this.

OTHER PROGRAMMING TERMS YOU SHOULD KNOW

PAGE A Page is the area that is displayed on the LCD at one

particular time. Most DM Pro Functions contains several

Pages; each Page contains an individual Parameter of the

Function. When a Function contains multiple Pages, the

Page will be denoted in the display with a “P” followed

by the Page number (P1, P2, etc.) at the far right of the

display on either the upper or lower line, depending on

the Function. To change Pages, move the cursor beneath

the Parameter name and turn the Value encoder.

MIDI NOTE NUMBER This refers to one of the 64 “locations” or “slots” where

Drums reside within a DM Pro Drumkit. All of the MIX

and TUNE Parameters refer to MIDI Note Numbers and

not to the Drums that reside there. There are 64 MIDI

Notes available to you in the DM Pro: A0 (MIDI Note #

33) through C6 (MIDI Note # 96). This range slightly

exceeds a that of a 5-octave keyboard. Note that Alesis

refers to middle C as “C3”. As mentioned in the “Hands-

On Tutorial”, be aware that some other manufacturers

such as Korg, Roland and Digidesign refer to middle C

as “C4”. However, manufacturers all agree on MIDI

Note Numbers (e.g., middle C = 60).
