Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi Brain,

I don't know why Yamahga assigned the same MIDI note
to both inputs, but anyway it is not too hard.  Before
we start, here's how it works.  When you strike a pad,
the signal comes in on a specific input number.  In
the trigger settings for that input is (among other
things) a MIDI note number (you can have up to 5 per
input for the mono inputs).  Using that MIDI note
number, the brain then scans its voices to see what
sound is assigned to that MIDI note.  Then it plays
that sound.

In Trigger edit mode what you need to change (on one
of the other of inputs 9 or 10)is called the MIDI
Note.  The MIDI note ( as we said above) is assigned
to a particular voice through the Voice Edit function.
 You have to be careful in selecting a MIDI note
number that is not already assigned to another
trigger.  In the back of the manual there is a table
that lists the note assignments for each of the
preassigned kits.  Since the base for the user kits,
in most cases is a preassigned kit, you can uaually
find what you need.  For example, user kit 1 is based
on preassigned kit 33, which ia Acoustic.  
Once you've got the MIDI notes fixed in the trigger
menu, then you can go into the Voice edit function and
assign the voice you want for that note number.  When
you're in the voice edit function - advance over the
the field that has the pad number in it and change it
to the MIDI note number you assigned to the trigger -
then pick the voice and tweak it parameters.  Thats
all there is to it...
