Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi Anko de Hoop,

The xpress does have a dual zone inout, it is the
inlut labeled 9/10.  The RHP12SD is a dual zone pad,
and by using a stereo (TRS) cable, you could plug an
RHP12SD into inputs 9/10, and it shoudl work.  

As for your question on getting a head and rim hit to
work together, that also is possible.  What you would
do is program a normal snare sound for the head (on
input 9 lets say), and a rim shot sound for the rim
(on input 10).  Then, when you hit them together, you
will get both sounds.  You could do this same thing
with a TP80s, although you would need to use one of
the stereo inputs (which are 1-8) for this type of
pad.  You would setup the head sound on the Padx
(x=the input number you have it plugged into), and the
rim shot sound on rimX.

I hope this helps you, but ask more questions if you
need to. Walt
