Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hello...

I had the DTXpress for a while and the best purpose it served for me was to
trigger external samples either from an external hardware sampler of virtual
sampler operating within my PC...
It integrates very well with a computer, either PC or Mac.....
I didnt find the module very expandable.....two stereo outputs rather
limiting,  there's not a lot of extra inputs for extra triggers either....
the cymbals sounds are worthless except for your own personal
practice....I've used the kit live but with real acoustic cymbals....I
eventually added a Hart Accusnare cause I found it tiring to keep banging on
an 8" rubber pad for a snare...
No problem with the headphone jack....you can get a double bass set up to
work if you trigger a bass drum patch with your hi hat pedal.....

Overall, it should work fine for simple simple demos.....
