Hi all, I have an urgent problem, it will be nice if someone can give me advice on this! Thanks in advance already. Friday, our symphonic orchestra has a small concert in a school. Since I am playing the timpani, and we are not able to move real timpani to tnat school, I thought I can use my DTXpressIII. Indeed, it has two nice timpani sounds on it, so I can bring it together with two pads and emulate timpani with an amplifier. So far the good part :-) The problem is the tuning. The DTXpress has two sounds, "Timpani H" and "Timpani L". Off course I have to tune them according to the key of the music piece to C-G, E-A, or so. I know you can change the pitch of a sound by using the C(oarse) and F(ine) settings, but it does not seem to work out very easy. My electronic tuner doesn't pick up the sound. So I don't know which pitch settings C and F belong to which note. Did anyone do such a thing once? Does somebody has a chart which relates tuning settings to tones? Or does someone have a suggestion how to get my electronic tuner 'hearing' the sound? Thanks!!!!!! Toon
