The Equalizer Effects Function - Alesis DM Pro Reference Manual

T EQUALIZER EFFECTS F
HE
The DM Pro has a boost-only, two band shelving Equalizer that changes the output
contour of a Drumkit. There are four total Equalizer Parameters: two Parameters for
each Equalizer band.
P1 Equalizer HIGH FREQUENCY SELECT
This Parameter allows you to choose the frequency for the high-shelving Equalizer.
The Values are selectable in 1kHz steps from 3kHz to 10kHz. The Value you choose
determines where the high-frequency boost begins. Because it is a high shelving EQ,
all frequencies above the selected frequency will be boosted by the amount set by the
High Frequency Gain parameter on Page 2 (see below).
To adjust the High Frequency setting of the Equalizer, move the cursor beneath the
Value (in kHz) and then turn the Value encoder:
EQUALIZER
Hi Freq: 10kHz
P2 Equalizer HIGH FREQUENCY GAIN
This Parameter allows you to set the amount of high frequency boost for the
Equalizer in decibels. The boost Value is selectable in 1dB steps from 0dB to +9dB.
Remember that the DM Pro Equalizer is "boost only" – you may not cut high
frequencies with the Equalizer. To cut high frequencies in the DM Pro, use the Filter
Function found in Drum Edit Mode.
To set the High Frequency boost amount (or "gain"), move the cursor beneath the
Value (in dB) and then turn the Value encoder:
EQUALIZER
Hi Gain: +6dB
P3 Equalizer LOW FREQUENCY SELECT
This Parameter allows you to choose the frequency for the low - shelving Equalizer.
The Values are selectable in 30Hz steps from 30Hz to 180Hz. The Value you choose
determines where the low-frequency boost begins. Because it is a low shelving EQ,
all frequencies below the selected frequency will be boosted by the amount set by the
Low Frequency Gain parameter on Page 4 (see below).
To adjust the Low Frequency setting of the Equalizer, move the cursor beneath the
Value (in Hz) and then turn the Value encoder:

Lo Freq: 120Hz
