Tips & Tricks

2003-04-06 by Nick Carroll

Thank you, Vernon Graner. I saw your reply to a new DTXpress owner, and - as a relatively new owner myself - I checked out your very good DTXpressions.com web site. Those tips & tricks are very useful. I am particularly interested in TIps & Tricks #6, about crossfading the bell with cymbal, so that hitting the top part of the ride cymbal pad (the more responsive part) will get more of a bell sound. I'll try that out and let you know how I get on.

There is one problem I haven't resolved yet, despite some pointers by the list Editor and Underneathheaven (thanks for your efforts, guys!).

And that is, how do you assign a particular kit to a song, so that when you change to that song, the kit changes also? The factory-set songs #1 thru #95 all do this, so I figure there must be a way. Ed suggested I check the UT Midi Program Change Table Kit assignments in the Utilities menu. So I went in and changed things around, but it made no difference. When I changed from one song I had programmed to another, the brain still defaulted to Kit #40 GM std 1. Am I missing out a step?

Here are two others posers: Is there any way to stop the choke function on the ride cymbal rim? And sometimes when I hit the ride cymbal, I get the ride-rim sound instead - is there a way to reduce the crosstalk between them?
