The Overdrive Effects Function - Alesis DM Pro Reference Manual

Programming Effects
T OVERDRIVE EFFECTS F

The Overdrive Effects Function contains only two Parameters:
P1 Overdrive AMOUNT
This Parameter sets the output amount of the Overdrive Effect. Unlike a preamp or
guitar amp, the DM Pro gives you the ability to mix the overdriven signal with the
dry (uneffected) signal. To make a Drum completely overdriven (no dry signal), set
the Drum Output to FX ONLY, which will remove the dry signal from the outputs.
To set the Overdrive Amount Value, move the cursor beneath the Value and then
turn the Value encoder to adjust the output of the Overdrive Effect:
OVERDRIVE
Amount:
P2 Overdrive BRIGHTNESS
This Parameter adjust the amount of high frequency in the Overdrive. Higher Values
will make the Overdrive more pronounced and noticeable much like guitar amp
distortion. Lower Values will keep the Overdrive more subtle, much like preamp
distortion.
To set the Overdrive Brightness, move the cursor beneath the Value and then turn
the Value encoder to adjust the effect:
OVERDRIVE
Brightness: 3 0
Tip: For an interesting overtone effect, set the Brightness Value relatively high (80 or
above) and then set the Overdrive Amount very low (less than 50). This can
simulate analog tape saturation or mild circuit distortion, which can be a cool
vintage effect.
