I just wanted to ask a question to Steve concerning his posting last week as

Did you do this because the DTX module doesn't allow two Hi-Hat sounds at
once ie. one sound on Voice 1, and another sound on Voice 2? This has been
my experience with the DTXpress I kit I have.

Hi Stu,

The main reason I set it up this way is because I can! Being I have 
3 modules (DTXpress I & III and a DM Pro) "he,he" :)

I wanted to be able to make good use of my modules & excess 
pads...Within a single song I can choose which Hi-Hat sound I want 
to access (hit one of the Hi-Hat pads) through the corresponding 
module, as individual sounds. However when I tap the Hi-Hat pedal 
BOTH modules sound their Hi-Hats, this also go's for a splash.

I didn't do it specifically so I can 'combine' the sounds, but as a 
multiple of choice at will, so to speak.

If however YOU are particularly interested in COMBINING Hi-Hat 
sounds by the use of multiple modules, I suppose you can simply 
split your Hi-Hat pad out with a 'Y' cable to each module...Though 
by doing this, you won't be able to use either/or sound as I have 
mine set up.

There are endless possibilities with excess trigger pads, multiple 
modules, mono and/or stereo 'Y' splitters...Of course if you go hog-
wild as I have based on ecess DTXpress upgrades/additions, you may 
want to expand your drum rack...That's what I did! Lovin' it too!
I don't see why you cannot do BOTH of the configurations mentioned 
above if you have the extra equiptment, INCLUDING the use of toggle 
switches that can be switched for whichever operation you're wanting 
at any given time.

Hope that helps, feel free to ask if there's anything else.

Steve
