Alesis DM DOCK Drum Module for iPad 1 & 2

The Alesis DM Dock Drum Interface For iPad is a drum interface for iPads, featuring up to 10 drum kits, and 145 premium SONiVOX drum and percussion sounds. Transform your iPad into a full-colour, multi-touch-surface drum module. The Alesis DM Dock allows you to harness the power of your iPad to create a totally intuitive, customisable drum interface.

Slide in your iPad, attach the 30-pin or Lightning dock connector, and snap the locking door into position. Your iPad is safe and secure in a stage-ready package that offers unlimited multi-touch access to the iPad screen. The DM Dock delivers an amazing array of professional inputs, outputs, and hands-on controllers. The iPad offers wireless connectivity and access to a wealth of compatible drum apps - including the DM Touch app, created by Alesis to make the most of the DM Dock.

The twelve trigger pad inputs are equipped with 1/4" TRS jacks, providing full support for dual-zone drum and cymbal pads, triple-zone ride and multi-choke cymbal pads - even acoustic drum triggers. A dedicated 1/4" TRS hi-hat input provides compatibility with continuously variable controllers. There is even a customisable dual footswitch input that can be assigned in your software. DM Dock has what it takes to put together your own custom kit.

The DM Dock provides professional balanced 1/4" stereo outputs for connection to a sound system, recording console, or monitor amp for when you’re ready to share your sound. The outputs are controlled from the master volume knob. A headphone output - complete with an independent level knob - allows for private practice. The USB port provides USB MIDI connectivity with your computer. Separate MIDI In and Out jacks allow your DM Dock to join forces with any MIDI-equipped drum machine, synthesizer, or audio gear.

Benefitting from an iPad's Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay, and 3G connectivity, the Alesis DM Dock puts unprecedented capabilities at your fingertips. Quickly change and enhance your drum kit at a moment’s notice; switch to a new snare drum or ride cymbal to suit a venue; apply reverb to suit a particular room’s acoustics; or even create an entirely new kit to suit a last-minute gig.

The DM Dock delivers the convenience, power and simplicity you've always wanted in a drum module, and works with virtually any iPad music app that permits external MIDI control - especially the custom DM Touch App. Available at the App Store, DM Touch provides premium drum sounds from the leading software developer SONiVOX with easy drag-and-drop drum kit editing and the ability to connect to other iOS 7 apps using Inter-App Audio such as GarageBand and Cubasis.
