Steve,

I plan to commercialise it if practical.  If there isn't enough
demand, or if it has limitations which would make it uncommercial, I
will publish circuits here and information so hobbyists can make their
own.  There is one trick which is required to make it work, so I have
filed a patent application for it, just in case!

The 10k resistor is used to get 2 rim sounds instead of just one.  The
DTXpress detects the resistance of the rim switch.  Theoretically I
could make the magic box have 12 inputs and 4 outputs but feedback
from this group suggested 8 in and 4 out would be a sensible number.  

Keith.
