P11 Aux Pedal Type Select Function; P6 Hat Pedal Type Select Function - Alesis DM Pro Reference Manual

Triggers
P11 AUX PEDAL TYPE SELECT F
P6 HAT PEDAL TYPE SELECT F
(Trigger 15 only)
These two Functions are somewhat hidden in the DM Pro architecture.
The Hat Pedal Type Function is accessible only when Trigger 15 is selected. When
Trigger 15 is selected, you will find this Function on Page 6 of Trigger Mode.
Because the Hi-hat Triggers have additional Parameters for the Pedal Down and
Pedal Up positions, the Aux Pedal Type Function is accessed on different Pages for
these Triggers. For Triggers 1 - 12 and 15, you will find the Aux Pedal Type Function
on Page 11 of Trigger Mode. For Triggers 13 - 14, you will find this Function on Page
12. For Trigger 16, you will find it on Page 10.
Both the Hat Pedal and the Aux Pedal Type Functions have two settings:

depending on its position (although each input jack uses a different type of CV pedal;

traditional synthesizer sustain pedal, which has only two states (on and off). For the
AUX Pedal, a Value of
simply sends one "message": a trigger impulse. This can be used to support the
"cymbal mute" function of certain types of pads (again, see Appendix B). The rim
switch on these pads can also be assigned a MIDI Note Number so as to trigger a
separate sound, if so desired. This feature is covered a couple of pages ahead in the
section called "AUX Trigger Note Select Function."
To choose which Hat Pedal or AUX Pedal Type you wish to use, move the cursor
beneath the Value and turn the Value encoder to toggle the selection:
