Alesis DM10 manual Editing Voice & Accompaniment Parameters, LVL F2, 1st, FX F3, 1st, Tone F1, 2nd

Note: The DM10 will retain any changes you make to the Instruments or parameters as you move between the various Kits.

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	a	b
	the Accompaniment, this will read "Accomp."
b.	the Layer (each trigger sound or Accompaniment
	track consists of two Layers, each with its own			c
	Instrument)
c.	the Category (the type or "class" of drum sound or			d
	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.
