Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Ken,

on the Mk1 Dtxpress I think I started by copying one of the standard 
kits to an empty user kit location (just navigate to the kit and 
press 'Save' and then change the kit number in the display before 
pressing save again).
 
Then it's just a matter of hitting the pad concerned and then press 
the 'Voice' button.  
The display then shows the various voice settings including one 
called 'V=1'.. this means that all the settings shown apply to the 
1st voice.  
Navigate to this value using the up/down buttons and change it 
to 'V=2'... you will likely see that there are no values assigned to 
the 2nd voice, so just navigate around and choose whatever sounds 
you like.  
I think I 'pinched' my heavy tom sounds from a kit on the 
Dtxpressions site and uploaded it to the Dtxpress using the 
Dtxchange programme also available there 
(http://www.dtxpressions.com) - 
in fact I was using the programme last night to dump all my kits out 
of the Dtxpress as a backup (you need a midi cable and a regular PC 
with a soundcard as a minimum to do this).

Hope that's helped rather than confused.

regards,
William

layering/assigning 2 voices to the pads. Can any 2 voices be chosen 
or does it have to be the ones with the bullet marker on the list of 
voices? Can you (or anyone) provide a sequence of steps to 
accomplish this? i.e. an example assigning a couple of voices to a 
tom pad.
