Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi nick,

I changed the subject on your question since it no longer has to do with
soundproofing your kit. As has been discussed before, there is no way to
add sampled drum sounds to the DTXpress module. You can use the DTXpress
module to trigger the samples in an external MIDI sampler unit. The sound
set that is in the DTXpress modules is in ROM (READ ONLY memory) so there
is no way to add new samples.

This doesn't mean you cannot change the way the existing samples *sound*,
you can use layering and ADSR envelopes, tuning etc to make some pretty
amazing new sounds. There are some very interesting kits in the
http://www.dtxpressions.com downloads area. I'd start by exploring those
and then ask on the list if you have any questions. :)

Vern
