Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Nick,
I would suggest calling Martin from Yamaha (he is the
Midi-Guru/DTX Guru at Yamaha)he should be able to tell
you IF and HOW to assign the kit you want to a
particular song...you can call him @
1-888-892-6242...when you speak to a HUMAN...tell them
ya want to speak to the DTExpress Applications
Specialist...they will transfer you, and you will
probably be put on hold for a short time.  You will
then speak to a person in Technical Help....tell them
you wish to speak to Martin, the Applications
Specialist for the DTX, they will ask you what the
problem is (they enter it into their 'puter) they will
ask your phone # and assign you a case number.  Be
patient...Martin WILL call you, however it may not be
the same day, usually the next day.  If you prefer a
specific time to have him call you, tell the person
who assigns you the case number...and WRITE THAT
NUMBER DOWN-it's important in case they call you and
you miss their call.  Oh, yah...one more thing...their
hours are 8:30-5:00 M-F PACIFIC TIME.
I have dealt with Martin, and he knows his stuff!!!
Hope this will help you out!
Jade
