Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Fiona,
 
The BP-80 will work with the DTXpress I or II or III modules in inputs 9/10
using a stereo cable.  You have several choices when adding cymbals. You can
add PCY65 mono,PCY65S stereo, PCY130 mono, PCY130S stereo or the PCY150S
stereo three zone cymbals. 
 
Currently your PCY65 mono and PCY65S stereo two zone cymbals are plugged
into inputs 6 and 7. These inputs are stereo three zone capable. Thus you
could add two PCY150S and plug them into 6 & 7. Then plug the KP65 into
input 9/10. Then plug you existing PCY65 into the KP65. Make sure to use a
stereo cable between the module and the KP65. Then finally move your
existing PCY65S to input no. 1.  The net result will be adding two
three-zone cymbals and maintaining your two existing cymbals. The only thing
that you would lose is the choking on the PCY65S that you move to input 1.
Only inputs 2, 6 & 7 are cabable of being choked.
 
If you want to just stick with PCY65 style pads, then you could add a PCY65S
and plugged it into input 6. Move the existing PCY65 mono pad up to input 9
and add another PCY65 mono pad to input 10. You will need a splitter cable
that takes two mono inputs on one end and a single stereo plug on the other
end to plug into the module at input 9/10.
 
So to add one cymbal just plug it into the 9/10, but remember that input
9/10 you can only use mono zone pads like the PCY65 or PCY130. When you plug
a stereo pad into 9/10, you will not get the rim voice.

Subject: [DTXpress] adding cymbals to the DTXpress II



Hi,  I have a standard DTXpress II and wish to expand a little by adding 
cymbals.  I just wondered if anyone could give me a hand.  Can you only add 
1 extra cymbal to the module?  Can this be a YAMAHA PCY-65S Cymbal 
Pad, Dual Zone Stereo Cymbal E-DrumPad?  Could I possibly add a Yamaha 
BP-80 Bar Pad, stereo, two zones, instead?  I was told that the Bar Pad is
not 
compatible with the DTXPress II (only with the mrk III) - is that right?  

Many thanks
Fiona
