DTX Edit, don't I wish...

2001-06-16 by kenlow@vnet.net

After spending a frustrating while now trying unsuccessfully to get 
configured for the DTX brain to play multi-tracks from the sequencer 
(Cakewalk) I've finally taken a break and at least got an alternative 
system worked out:  I've got a Yamaha SW60XG synth card that I 
controll with XGedit. So now at least I can play the DTX set and 
automaticly sort and record each pad to it's own (1-9)track in 
Cakewalk.  Then, I play the drum sequence back to through SW60XG and 
can easily control each pad/track using XGedit. That means I can play 
back the drum track along with the rest of the mix and re-tune the 
snare on the fly until it sits in the mix right, adjust levels and 
pans, etc.  Man, oh man!  We need a piece of software like XGedit to 
control DTX, the little monster with the orange brain.  Of course 
there aren't nearly as many drum sounds available on the SW60XG as on 
the DTX and I'll certainly continue to use DTX the more conventional 
way. But this is finally how I had immagined using DTX in the first 
place...
