Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

The two zones in Yamaha and Roland drums is implemented with a "force-sensitive resistor".

When you apply a force to this, the resistence decrease, and works like a switch, off = open = high resistence , on=closed=low resistence
It's a digital input, and the drum brain interprets the force you have applied in the analog input ( piezo ).

Did you understand? Excuse me for my bad english.

You can simulate this switch with a piezo and a transistor working like a switch. Take a look at http://www.toontrack.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=35166

I understand how two Piezo's can be used to drive two similar inputs.
Can anybody explain this "condenser" stuff that is supposed to be used
for the two-zone Yamaha pads? I have also heard people refer to a
force-sensitive resistor (FSR), and I think I know what that is, I just
don't
know how or if it is used for the DTX. Schematics, anyone??
