Thanks for the kind words, Ed.  The prototype "magic box" is probably
suitable for uses such as adding simple percussion sounds, but needs
more work for more sophisticated uses (toms etc).  I have the drumming
skills of a chinpamzee (apologies if there are any chimpanzees reading
this), so it seemed fine to me, but Stewart has pointed out the
limitations to a real drummer so I will sort those out soon. 
Unfortunately earning a living has been getting in the way recently so
work has been delayed.  I am sure I will solve the problems.  Some of
the problem is caused by the fact that the Yamaha DTXpress module is
expecting a rim pad on the rim input, so isn't expecting you to be
doing drum rolls on them.

Keith.
