External Trigger Connections - Alesis DM Pro Reference Manual

E
XTERNAL
Plug all of the trigger outputs you will be using into the Trigger jacks on the rear of
the DM Pro. The DM Pro has recommended locations for each type of trigger (Kick,
Snare, Hi-hats, etc.) silk-screened below each Trigger jack. Although it is
recommended that you use these locations, any trigger output can be plugged into
any Trigger jack and programmed to perform as required (except for Trigger Inputs
15 and 16). For more about the Trigger section, see "Chapter 7: Triggers" and
"Appendix B: Advanced Trigger Information."
The default Trigger Note Assignments for the most part* follow the General MIDI
Standard Drum Layout:

IMPORTANT NOTE! Trigger Inputs 15 and 16 are not normal Trigger
inputs. They share a mono input jack, which is designed as a Pedal
input for use in conjunction with Triggers 13 and 14 for Hi-Hat
emulation. If you plug in a Trigger pad of some sort you will get no
response. For more information, see page 113 "The Interactive Hi-
Hat Performance."
