Ken,
A little history.
If you look in the photo's section at my kit you will see I have 11
cymbal pads. All but two are stereo pads. I have three TP65S pads. I
have three DtxpuII modules. On the Dtxpress II, I discovered that
only inputs number 2,6 and 7 allow for choking. That means I only
have nine inputs to use with choking capability. Using three inputs
for the TP65S, left me with 6 inputs capable of choking. With 9
stereo pads, that meant that three of the cymbal pads would end up
plugged into non-choking inputs. I posted a comment about that on
this group when I first joined. Someone posted that the Dtxpress I
could choke on all inputs number 1-8. I emailed Yamaha and they
confirmed that indeed that the choking was only available on inputs
2,6 & 7 on the DtxpressII module. The upgrade chips that they sent me
corrected the problem, by allowing me to have choking on all inputs 1-
8, just like the DtxpressI. So if you have the DtxpressI, you
already have that ability.
Since most people don't have a kit the size of mine, the need for the
upgraded chips is minimal.
