Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I have just bought a RHH130 to add to my DTXPress II Setup and have 
a few questions which somebody maybe able to answer (ODG :) 
1. The instructions state : "In the Trigger Setup Edit Mode Gain, 
Minimum Velocity, set the Gain to 40%" does that mean the Gain 
setting or the MVel setting?

2. Is there anything the old HH foot controler can be used for, I 
thought maybe I could connect it to the kick pad to act as a double 
bass but that did not work.

I am awaiting the delivery of my 120S Snare Pad to finish my 
Christmas Upgrade :)


Thanks

Mark,

I think OGD is milking the cows and feeding the chickens this 
morning. 1. Gain is the parameter that shows up in percentage. 
Minimum velocity is just a straight numerical setting. Once you're in 
the trigger menu for the hi hat, adjust gain to read 40%. But always 
feel free to experiment if it doesn't suit you. 2. The controller can 
be used as a kick but only in input 1, I think; set it up under pad 
type in the trigger menu. You still need a stereo cable. Maybe you 
can split the kick input and get a double bass that way. If you try 
it, let me know whether it works. OGD's tried nearly everything with 
the Yamaha equipment, so he may know. Congratulations on the 120S.

Old Bessy was out flirty with a new bull next door, had a hard time 
getting her out of the field and into the barn for milking this 
morning..was out with a sharp hatchet running down a chicken for 
dinner.. :)


The HH65 will work as a kick on input one using a stereo cable. (Page 
36, 1.1 Pad Type, under 2-Type, second note.). Move the KP65 up to 
input 9, use a mono cable. They can then both be used as kicks.

OGD

Cheers both,

I will give it try now, one last question, I am right in thinking 
that the red knob on the 120S cannot be used with the dtxpress II 
for anything?

Thanks again

Nothing electronic. But it does make a nice panic button.
