Ed,
The rest of my DTXT2S is supposed to arrive tomorrow (the module, snare
and cymbals arrived last week separately) So I've been re-reading the
manual over and over again, as well as your response to my post. If
possible, I'd like to dig a little further into your response to ensure I am
understanding correctly. Then tomorrow when everything arrives I can
really dig in.

So are you saying that as long as I am not using the notes perse', I
can basically assign any voice to any note and the voice will remain as it is
supposed to be and is not affected by the note at all. In other words the
note just becomes a 'pointer' to the voice. The the voice can be adjusted
as needed. For example it wouldn't matter if I assigned a C, D or F to a
given voice, the voice is going to sound the same, unless I specifically change
the voice? Am I on the correct track with this line of
thinking?
>You can create all sorts of patterns, loops, phrases, songs, and
chords >on the internal tone generator to
Speaking of 'chords', I can think of several instances where I might want to try layering more than one voice together, such as a snare and a handclap, multiple toms (to thicken it up), etc. Assuming I'm anywhere near the right track (above) regarding notes, would I have to assign an arbitrary additional note to that trigger first? Then, assign the additional voice? This is kinda what I am thinking but the manual is not very clear on this, as it seems to be written for someone who already knows about midi notes, e-drums, etc., as opposed to a lifetime acoustic player :-)
Thank you once again for your knowledge and
patience.
