Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Just so no one thinks I died, I *am* still watching the list, just don't
have much time to comment on Drum issues at this moment... :)

I've been busy setting up for my Halloween haunted house this year. Last
year, I used my DTXpress unit to make really scary chamber knocking
sounds by placing a piezo pick up behind the front door knocker of my
house and then plugging that into the kick input on the DTXpress. Placed
the kit voice to "big reverb" and piped the output to a 400 watt pa
system! The little trick or treators would get quite the thrill when they
knocked on the door.. BOOM!! BOOOM!! >:D

This year I've been busy building things like this:

Try clicking on the "giant spider" link at the top to see how I spent
this last weekend... ;)

Also, I've been using the DTXpress with Sonar to make "voicings" for
people all over the country. Quite a few "pro" and "semi-pro" haunted
houses lack the audio skills or actor voices necessary to create an
appropriately "eerie" introduction for their haunted house.

These introductions are sometimes played to the audience as they stand in
line for the attraction or used as "backstory" just as you enter the
haunted house. Here's an example of the type of work I've been doing:

Can you hear anything from the DTXpress "GM" list in there? ;) Or for a
list of all of the "performances" I've done, go here:

Anyway, if you're wondering why I have been in Lurk mode for a while...
now you know! :)
