Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Well the answer is, nearly....

You will not be able to split the toms with stereo splitters.
If you really need to add an extra tom, you'll need to use one of the dual
channel ports (9/10).

The PCY10 bell trigger is best run from port 9, so much so that the default
kits already have a sound matched for it.
You get a cowbell sound defaulted to port 10, which is bloody annoying. I
use this as my extra tom input, and edit a tom sound to fit, then save it as
one of my user kits.

If you still need extra triggers, you will need to get a trigger-to-MIDI
converter. Again I use a Roland Octapad, as well as having it's own 8
triggers, it has additional trigger inputs (6 I think), and the Yamaha pads
work fine from them.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [DTXpress] Can I do this? Add-on Question


I have been doing my research, and I have decided that the DTXPress
II is the kit for me.  I will be purchasing it in the next couple of
weeks when my work bonus comes through.

My question is this.......I want to add a few additional triggers to
what is already included with the set.  The triggers I would like to
add are:

TP80 Single Zone Pad for a 4th Tom
PCY10 Cymbal Bell Pad for ride type sounds or additional crash
BP80 Dual Trigger Bar Pad for additional percussion type things.

Is it possible to add these with the ports that exist?  I looks like
I would have to double up the toms with stereo splitters, ad the
cymbal bell pad to the now open tom spot and then connect the Bar to
9/10.

Is this right?

Am I way off?

HELP!
