User defined kits

Howdy, I have downloaded about half of the .syx files in the save 
files section of the group.  I could only upload a few that really 
worked.  I have a DTXpressI and I wonder if some of these kits were 
for DTXpressII or other defined set.  I'm suprised to find that this 
feature isn't more popular.  To share kits others made up is pretty 
cool IMHO.  Maybe it's for backing up your system instead of sharing 
with others.  Oh well, I'll try the other half tonight to see if any 
of those take.  I'll upload my kit (to this group) and see if others 
can get it to work, (at a later time).  My kit is DTXpressI, old P1 
233MHZ, serial port to host connection for playing MIDIs.  Thanks.

I think some are from the Dtxpress II. One reason there may not be more is
that once you have your kit for a while, most folks start to customize them,
to the point where they don't match up with the base kit. Which may include
moving the toms up to inputs 9/10, to utilizing the stereo inputs on 3/4. Or
on the Dtxpress II, moving the mono ride pad up to 9 and adding a stereo
cymbal (PCY65S) to input 7. Also, when folks add pads from other
manufacturers or second modules, the basic trigger setup gets shuffled
around so much that it is no longer useful to someone with a basic kit.
 
We tried to start a database for just individual pad settings, say for snare
or toms or cymbals, but it never really took off as you can see if you go to
the database section.
 
But feel free to add your own kits to the files area.
