Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Keith,

 

I am not sure what is magical about input no. 1, but the manual does
specifically identify that input as the only one that the HH can be
plugged into when you are using it as a kick pedal. All of my gear is
packed up because of moving to a new house, so I can't do any testing,
maybe somebody else can.

 

The manual also implies that you must still use a stereo cable when you
plug the HH into input no. 1, although that may only be for when you use
it in input 8 as a standard Hihat pedal.

 

You could still use input 8 to plug the HH into and assign the foot
splash sound to it, but I don't think it would be reliable, even if you
set the footsplash trigger to a low number.

 

I also wonder if it would be possible to move the KP up to input 9/10
and plug the HH into the aux-in of the KP and set the swap function for
the inputs 1->9/10 in the setup. Again, I would try it but can't get to
my gear.

 

OGD

OGD,

Now I'm confused! Isn't input 1 the kick, input 8 the hi-hat and the
un-numbered input below 7&8 on the back the HH pedal?

Same effect - you cannot use it to replace a piezo pad. I did mess
about with a couple of connectors to make a patch lead to try to cheat
and use the internal pull-up on the ring to pull up the tip. It sort
of works - but backwards. 

A bit of circuitry (transistor, a couple of resistors, a capacitor and
a power supply) could be used to fix it, but you need to be handy at
building electronics.

Keith.
