RE: [DTXpress] Re: Rom upgrade for DTXpress II? (was Find another dual zone imput)

2010-06-10 by Damon, Rob

Tom, 

 

I am the only one that I am aware of that got the updated ROM chips. The
only thing the ROM chip did was add choking back to inputs 1,3,4,and 5,
like they existed in the DTXpress 1 module. If there is something quirky
going on with your module, the ROM chip upgrade would have no effect on
it what so ever.

 

I had three DTXpress 2 modules in a monster kit and I needed the choking
feature on more than the 9 available zones from the three modules. The
pics should still be in the photo section under OldGuyDrummer.
Typically, most folks did not have kits the size of what I had at the
time that needed it. So it was a case by case basis.

 

I can't imagine you would be able to do anything about it at this point,
since that module has not be made in a long time. But you could go to
the official Yamaha site and contact the mods there and they may or may
not be able to help you.

hey
Has any of you ever had the ROM on this changed? and did it have any
other updates? it'd be nice if these wouldn't go insane every once in a
while and need to be factoru reset!!!

I've never seen anything about ROM upgrades for the DTX before!
