Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I may not understand your question, or be right about the answer, 
but I can't think of a way to do it with the dtx module alone. Once 
you reserve a pad for a song, you don't get to use it as a drum 
anymore. Plus, the dtx's stacking capability, unlike that of other 
modules or trigger/MIDI devices, is limited; you can layer two notes 
or sounds on an input but not play alternate sounds on successive 
hits to create, say, a short bass figure. But even if you could, one 
of your limbs would be taken up by playing the line, making you a 
one-handed drummer, and you could only play one kick to a measure. 
It seems to be one of those things that you'd need to do with an 
external sequencer, either playing/ recording along with it or 
recording the song to the dtx's sequencer for further use with or 
without the kick accompaniment. Why does it have to be a pad song? 
Does this help at all?
