Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Lee,

That is great customer service from Colin, and I am eager to learn 
about how his snare works on a Yamaha, and presumably Roland, stereo 
input. As for the Xpress II working with earlier syx files, I can't 
give a definitive answer because I don't own that module, but my gut 
feeling is that files will transfer between the I and II versions. 
What won't transfer are files across different Yamaha platforms--
say, from the DTXv2.0 module (DTX2U) to the DTXpress modules 
(DTXPU), though the Xchange software seems to work for each module 
individually. The differences between the two versions of the Xpress 
module appear only to be substantive, not formal. In other words, 
even though the II model allows for a couple of rim switches on the 
snare, it doesn't change any proprietary software. Gee, I posted 
something longwinded about layering sounds last year. If I can find 
it, I'll send it to you offline. It may or may not help.
