Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hello.....

       In Logic, go to Functions>track de-mixer and it will separate your
kit by note to individual tracks....
then solo each individual track and burn to an audio track, giving you more
flexibility in the audio mixer, as well as tweaking with effects....
        In Cubase, its a bit cooler.....the drum editor window allows you to
view each track separately in a drum map...hit the solo button then unmute
the each individual track and burn to audio tracks like in Logic....

        I find it necessary when sequencing to re-assign the midi note to
individual voices in the dtxpress..the factory default is all over the
map....I try to work in range of #35 or #36 and up, makes it easier to edit
when individual pads are doubled.....

        I've read reviews that say that the dtxpress is not a pro recording
kit.....with todays advances in midi software its possible to get some
pretty damn good sounding recordings out of this little kit.....
