Hello
Hmm! Interesting!!
Well Originally I had considered buying 3 cymbals (real
ones) and used the extra ports to add 3 more toms..
Since I have 6 pads sitting around this would allow me to add
a lot of sounds..
The idea of having 16 more inputs to set-up sound
is great; I would not care if they can be changed later or not, as long as
I can assign a sound to it.
For what I just gathered:I would have to keep the original
kits(sets) in the Yamaha module?
What about the ones that I have changed.
Say I had saved setting "KIZZ"
where I have some pads assign a "rock" sound and no cowbell, Can I still use
this kit?
Thanks Guys
This is more interesting that I would have
thought....
Chicks magnet!! VERY COOL

That's how I do it, too. We talked about a month or two ago. But
doesn't the PM-16 allow you program multiple kits, or banks, that
you could change when you change kits on the DTX module?
