Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Larry,
 
With a 2 trigger snare you will get a main snare pad sound and a rim switch
for a rim shot sound. With a 3 trigger snare you will get a main pad snare
sound, a rim shot sound and a cross-stick sound. Any of which can be changed
to any sound you like.
 
With a tom pad it is the same as a snare with a 2 trigger pad. With the 3
trigger you usually use the main pad for the basic tom pad sound and the
bottom rim for a rim shot sound. The 3 trigger on the top rim can be used
for anything you want, such as a percussion sound or triggering a pad song
or for changing kit numbers, just depending on which module you have and
which input it is plugged into. On the Dtxpress II/III/IIIsp only inputs 2,
6 & 7 are able to handle all three sounds. On the other inputs 1, 3,4,5,8
you will get only one rim sound even if you have two separate rim switches.
 
With a 2 trigger cymbal, you will get a bow and an edge sound and depending
on which input it is plugged into you will get choking (muting the sound by
grabbing the edge of the cymbal.)
 
With a 3 trigger cymbal, you will get a bell, a bow and an edge sound and
choking. These pads must be plugged into inputs 2, 6 or 7 on the Dtxpress
II/III/IIIsp. The Dtxpress I does not have 3 trigger (zone) ability.
Plugging a 3 trigger(zone) cymbal into a 2 trigger input you will only get
two sound, pad and rim/bell.
 
Just keep in mind that the inputs 1-8 on the Dtxpress are stereo (pad
piezo/ribbon rim switch) and not dual zone (two piezo's). Only input 9/10 is
a dual zone input (or two mono inputs).

Subject: [DTXpress] 3 trigger pads


All,

Can someone comment on what I can expect from a kit that has multiple
triggers in a pad. Specifically, the differences in 2 & 3 trigger pads for
snares, toms & cymbals?

Thanks,
Larry in NJ
