Description

classic Alesis drum-sound module for drummers, programmers, producers, and anyone else who needs great-sounding drums and percussion. DM5 contains 540 stereo, 18-bit drum sounds that can be assigned to any of the 21 programmable drumsets. 12 trigger inputs enable DM5 to be used with all Alesis drum and cymbal pads, SURGE Cymbals, and the triggering devices from most other major manufacturers.

DM5 also has full MIDI I/O so it can be used as a sound source for composing, programming, and sequencing with a wide variety of controllers including keyboards, pad triggers, MPCs, and more.

Alesis' exclusive Dynamic Articulation™ technology modifies sample sounds so they change as you play them. This results in sounds that respond accurately not only to dynamic changes, but also with the appropriate timbral and color changes you'd expect from their acoustic counterparts. Our Random Sample feature also ensures you don't get the same sound twice for further creative realism.

Built-in Alesis studio effects including reverb and ambiance ensure that you can send a complete, finished sound to the PA, recording system, and your headphones with no additional processing.

Alesis SR18 - Best Drum Machine for Drummers?

Actually the SR-16 came out before the D4, in 1990. The D4 came out in 1992. I have SR18 (which strangely doesn't have the hyphen like the HR-16 and SR-16 have), LinnDrum, DMX and Drumulator here in the studio. To my ears this is what you might want to use on the SR18: LinnDrum Bass Drum:...

Connector unused for 46 years - what are the chances?

...simply rot after many years. I don't know how much they've changed over the years, but it appears that B&W DM5's are still in production today! A pair of Infinity Qb loudspeakers that I purchased in 1979 just returned from indefinite loan to my brother-in-law. They've certainly got their deficiencies, but those EMIT ribbon...
