Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I communicated with the ebay seller of the Hart hh and Acusnare. He 
couldn't get them to work with the DTX v2.0. He spoke with someone 
at Hart who claimed that the company was aware of the problems with 
the DTX line and currently working on solving them (no one at Hart 
has yet returned my call). I'm on the verge of parting with my ride, 
but if someone has a possible fix, or successful trigger/pad/voice 
setup, I'd love to try it. Hart is a great company that makes very 
good equipment.
