Yes, a pain to program the first time, but way better than playing beats on a keyboard! Pretty cheap as well. The DM5 IMHO is outdated as far as the sounds and I noticed that the note length is not assignable either, so when you see the MIDI notes in PT they are tiny circles with X's in them! Sure you can go back and change the note durations in PT, but....
Anyone using the Alesis I/O MIDI thing?

I just got the Alesis Trigger IO and at first, was going to return it. It was not working well with Battery at all. Could not get the settings dialed in to get that "feel". Well, I changed my mind after installing the BFD Lite software that came with it. It's actually pretty good now! My triggers are also Alesis DM10 triggers so take that into account.
