RE: Spam:[DTXpress] Multiple Hi-Hat sounds?

2005-11-21 by Damon, Rob

One of the down sides to the Yamaha modules, including the Dtxtreme IIS,
is that you cannot layer more than one sound per trigger on the hihat.
 
Also something else you can do, if you have two dtxpress modules and can
find a PCY10 and mount it to the top of a PCY65S, you can set it up as a
three zone hihat that is controlled by one HH65 hihat controller. It
will use up two input zones on each module though, one for triggering
the actually voice and one for controlling crosstalk. I decribed this in
detail a year or two ago here.

Subject: Spam:[DTXpress] Multiple Hi-Hat sounds?


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

>pads all day long. Furthermore, I have 2 single kick trigger pads
>with two pedals (one to each module) and a dual Hi-Hat set-up (one
>to each module, but controlled by a single Hi-Hat controller pedal,
>split by a custome splitter cable I made in which I can have two hi-
>hat sounds at one time!

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.

Never saw this question, and was away from this forum for some years...It's now April 2015!!!! For the archives, you can using a 2nd (or more) module to either layer sounds, or play 'different sounds' from a Hi-Hat pad assigned to each module you have. I personally use a dual trigger pad for each modules Hi-Hat input, controlled by ONE Hi-Hat controller pedal with my stereo Y splitter.
For anyone contemplating the use of multiple trigger modules, there are many possibilities. I now use (4) trigger modules with my extended rack/pad set up. I'm about to make myself a 1 to 4 stereo splitter so that my one Hi-Hat control pedal splits up to go to all (4) modules. In addition, I'm designing & building a DIY/Custom Hi-Hat pad with eight trigger zones (two for each module)...instead of using a dual trigger pad for each modules Hi-Hat trigger input. I'm designing it so that each zone will be incremental from the front to rear (in 'strips' of zones).
With using just (2) modules with (1) controller pedal, I'm able to access more sounds in ToonTracks Superior Drums VSTi in my DAW ...especially with PCY80s or PCY65s dual trigger pads. But with my specially designed (8) trigger pad, I'll have many more possibilities...not only with Hi-Hat, but others if I so desire.
