Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

As promised, Here is my assesment of my new Pintech AK14S. It is 
awesome! The look and feel, the sensitivity. And great separation on 
the head and rim triggers.I always knew I needed something a little 
larger than the 10" Concertcast, but the difference is astounding. I 
absolutely love it! 
I tried the concertcast for a tom, but I really like rubber pads for 
toms.
I have worked in the Roland TD-5 module, for extra sounds.
Here is a question. I don't have the manual for the TD-5. All I have 
is the Turbo-Start guide. Not very comprehensive. I was wondering if 
anyone knows how to set things up so I can use the pads plugged in to 
the TD-5 to trigger sounds from the DTXPress. Right now I'm using the 
TD-5 for an extra crash, as well as a second ride for bell. It would 
be great to access the DTXPress sounds. Any Ideas.Or anybody know 
where I can get a copy of the full TD-5 Manual? I'll pay!!!!
