Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Ed,
Thanks. Yes, without knowing his circuit I'm sure Keith1200rs' magic 
box is MUCH more sophisticated than what I came up with, and I 
completely understand Keith1200rs keeping his under wraps. As a die-
hard DIYer, I wanted to make the most use out of my DTX module, 
which is outstanding (despite the rather cumbersome user interface), 
but I suspect my circuit has "bad grammar" and needs 
the "punctuation" fixed. :)

Having fun hitting the drum!
