>> Subject:	[DTXpress] My bizarre use for my DTXpress module!
>>
>> Ok, here's the plan so far:
>>
>> I'm doing a big haunt this year in the front yard of my house,
>> culminating in a two story tall castle tower complete with a dungeon
>> door
>> with a "speak-easy" type sliding window (about 12"x24") in the center
>> of
>> the door. Beneath the window is a big old-time looking door knocker (no
>> knockers jokes please, yes I saw Young Frankenstein... "Frau Blucher!"
>> --extra points if you whinny here!) :) that I have placed where the
>> knocker impacts with a small square of wood. Beneath this wood block, I
>> mounted a piezo element. This piezo is then connected via wire through
>> a
>> hole cut in the door to the DTXpress module inside the house. The
>> module
>> in turn goes to a 16 channel mixer and then to a 400 watt amp to four
>> 12"
>> speakers placed around the outside of the house.
>>
>> When someone knocks using the knocker, the DTXpress will make a *very*
>> low tom with a HUGE reverb sound, makes for a very convincing "BOOM
>> BOOM"
>> type knock that is more than a bit unnerving. Combine this with the
>> stormy night rain/wind/thunder track and the Midnight Syndicate music
>> and
>> you've got some scary approach to the door!
>>
>> Of course, when the sliding widow slams open and the animatronic skull
>> pops up and talks to the trick-or-treators and then gives candy from a
>> gaunt hand, even the boldest of tricker-or-treators should be cringing!
>>
>> :) Just thought u guys would be entertained by the use of the module...
>> I'm also gunna experiment with the sounds in the module to see if I can
>> get "thunder on demand" using a midi keyboard and some of the internal
>> sounds.. Ok, off to experiment! :)
