OGD,

Brian may not see your questions for a while, but I can tell you that 
Pintech references all the current Roland and Alesis modules in their 
2003 manual. The only Yamaha module for which Pintech has settings is 
the DTXv2.0, although Brian told me months ago that he had plans to 
include the DTXpress as well. I'd love to know if Pintech has ever 
considered teaming up on a module design or initiating one of their 
own.
