This is a listing for an Excellent Condition Alesis DM-5 Drum module. This is an absolutely classic module that has been on records, live performances and much more for years, but it is now long out of production. Perfect for a producer looking for new samples, or a new player looking for a brain to an electronic kit! The Unit is in perfect working order, it has minor cosmetic scratches, and had one input replaced with an upgraded switch, otherwise is 100% original.

I am the first and only owner of this unit and it while i owned it this item was cared for in a temperature controlled, smoke free, environment. It was never taken out on a gig, and was used mainly by me for writing music and playing around.

All Sales final, will ship wherever at buyers expense. Open to offers.

More Information:

DM5 is a 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.
