Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

The Dtxpress I module had stereo two zone inputs for 1-8 and a dual zone
input for 9/10.
The Dtxpress II and III (both std. & spec.) modules had stereo three
zone inputs for 2,6,7 and stereo two zone for inputs 1,3,4,5,8 and dual
zone input for 9/10.
 
The Dtxpress I and III modules would allow for choking on cymbal pads on
inputs 1-8. The original Dtxpress II only allow for choking on inputs
2,6,7. With an replacement ROM chip, the Dtxpress II could choke on
inputs 1-8. On the Dtxpress III module input 8 has a special mode so
that if you set it up as a trigger type RHH130 the choking is disabled.
 
The self-choking that is being described, is either a technical issue,
the cymbals prefer a glancing bow, as oppose to a straight down strike.
When you strike the edge and the stick remains in contact with the edge
for more than an instant, the module interprets it has you physically
holding on to the edge and thus chokes the sound. 
 
Only the PCY65S/PCY80S/PCY130S/PCY150S cymbal pads can be choked. The
pad must have a rim zone. The PCY80/PCY65/PCY130 single pads cannot be
choked.

I'm sure that wasn't in the documentation...
thats great news though.  Let me just check before I get excited: we are

talking about a standard dtxpress III.  There are two triangular shaped 
cymbal triggers, one of which is a two zone cymbal (the other is a
single 
zone).  The only visual difference between the two is that the two zone
has 
a line following the perimeter of the 'arc' about 1 inch away from it,
which 
form the second surface to hit for the diffeent sound.  The two zone is 
usually used as a ride on the premade patches, so I guess you're talking

about what I have labelled as the 'signle zone' trigger, which in actual

fact must be a dual zone too, just with a different positioned secondary

zone which cannot be hit, but rather squeezed.

And you just squeeze this at the edge somewhere after hitting it, and
the 
sound sort of cuts out.

Have I got it right?
Thanks for the help,

Matt
