Alesis DM10 manual Editing Effects Parameters

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)

ƒType: 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."

ƒSize: The size of the virtual "room" as designated by the reverb Type.

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

ƒLevel: The level of the reverb.

b.FX (other effects)

ƒType: 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.
