Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Chris, your squealing noise sounds typical of radio
interference (or similar).
My unit is as quiet as a mouse, so I guess you'll have
to try and trace the cause of the noise. Start with
your cables and then look at your amps. Also, is the
unit close to the PC monitor? Try repositioning the
kit and see if the noise gets better or worse. Good
luck.

Nice to see others joining the group. Have you guys
got the DTXpress yet or are you thinking about it? If
you've read the messages in the archive, you might
think "All these guys do is talk about problems".
Don't let that put you off. The DTXpress is a
seriously good piece of kit. It's just that we all
want to get the best out of it. You understand....

The click is (I fear) something we'll have to live
with. I can't see any way of "disconnecting" it from
the rest of the sounds. I guess if you're playing live
and want to keep in time with any loops you might have
programmed, you'll just have to be extra careful and
concentrate.

BTW, I've just about completed a bespoke SysEx loader
for the DTXpress called "DTXchange". It's written in
VB6 and is designed purely for the kit. When I've
finished testing, I'll upload it. Comments are
welcome.

Later
