Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hello,

Please direct me to a more appropriate board if this is not a good 
place to ask a question about setting up the brain for DTXTREME IIS.

I am hoping the question is relative to earlier brains as well, since 
this one is fairly new.

First, I will warn you that with 25 years behind the kit, I have zero 
experience with these electronic modules.  I have started a new 
project and plan to trigger my acoustic kit to elimate all the open 
mics, etc.

I purchased the DTXTREME IIS brain and have been pouring over the 
manual for the last 2 days just to try to get some of the information 
to sink in.

The one thing that is confusing me most at this point, is I came 
across a section of the manual that talks about programming NOTES to 
each channel.  This precedes a section on programming VOICES.  VOICES 
I understand, notes ...I do not.

Is this an optional thing, it doesn't appear so, since the section on 
voices, seems to reference notes... arggggghhh.

I don't know notes, I am but a lowly self taught old fashioned 
drummer!

How do I know what notes to tell it for each trigger channel?  Are 
there any guidelines?  I have 11 toms from 6x6 to 18x24, snare and 
kick.  I tune them on 'soft' or 'wet' side.  I don't know what notes 
they should be :-)

Can anyone offer some guidance?

Thanks in advance for any light shed!
Vick
