Help, setting up a DM5 with Metal Foundry

[innerdecay]

I’m sorta new at this so please don’t grill me!!! But can you use Metal Foundry bass drum sounds when using a DM5 for recording? If you can, does anyone know how to set that up? I’m using a DM5 for kick drums, Presonus Firestudio Project, and Studio One Pro for the software.

Any help for the newbie would be MUCH thanked!!!!

As far as i know (used to have an alesis electronic kit) the DM5 does not support you actually putting your own samples into the module. the only way you could do what you want in that case is to take the output of the DM5 into a USB/Midi interface and then assign your midi note from the DM5 kick drum to the Metal Foundry kick drum and then output that onto a monitoring system (sound card etc).

What i used when i had this set up is an Alesis I/O but i wasn’t completely happy with it, might be fine for you tho. This essentially bypasses the DM5 and you plug all your kit’s pads directly into the Alesis and then the Alesis has a USB interface which you can assign to Metal Foundry.
