Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Thanks a lot OGD. I am getting clearer now.

I also browsed the old messages in this board (2000 ... 5000 etc.) and
also had a look at the photos posted (Inside the DTXP ...). That was
helpful to better understand the differences between piezos / triggers
and switches, FSRs, stereo and mono, single-zone/dual-zone - all that
stuff. Where I am still struggling is the concept of the switches
which are build into the multi-zone pads like the snare. As they are
no FSRs how exactly do they work?
- You can assign different voices
- You can assign different trigger settings
So what´s the difference to a "normal" trigger?
