Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Willy, 
 Welcome on board.

Two pieces of advice:

1. If you are the type of person that really likes to dig into settings
(like I am and others here) and wants to create news kits, you really must
get at a minimum a cable that connects from your game port of your sound
card to the midi in/out on the dtxpress module. It's easy to get lost in the
menu's of the modules and accidently change something. I know, when I first
got my set I had programmed three new kits and ended losing them when I had
to do a Factory reset, because I couldn't figure out what I did. The cable
and the DTXChange utility is a must. If you find that your satisfied with
the kits it comes with then don't bother with it for a while. 

2.If you are like the rest of us, the first thing you start to do is figure
out, what can you plug into that spare zone 9,10? (Barpads-yes; single zone
pads-yes; dual zone pads-no)  Go into the photos section of this group and
you'll find plenty of ideas to get you started. 



Like Stewart said...spend some time just enjoying it!!!!!

PS- If you live above anybody else.. better make GOOD Friends with them
before you start playing it. The bass pedal sound (vibration) will be heard
by the neighbors living below you. There have been several solutions talk
about here, just do a search of the archive.
