Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi Andreas,

I've had a CY-6 for almost a year. It's a stereo cymbal (rim and 
bow). As such, it will not work in 9/10 either via stereo cable or a 
TRS splitter. But it should defintitely provide two voices in input 
7, or any other stereo input, with a stereo cable. Its repsonse 
differs slightly from that of the Yam. stereo cymbals. Roland's 
owner's manual recommends that the bow be played with the tip of the 
stick and the rim with the shank, or shoulder, staying fairly close 
to the center in each case. I've had no trouble with mine. If you 
continue to have problems with yours, I'll send you my settings. By 
the way, you'll notice that several days ago I posted that mine was 
for sale, but not because I'm not satisfied with it. I experiment 
with cymbals quite a bit.

Ed
