Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi

So there I was, banging away on my PCY65 ride (with a DTXpress III)
and it tinged. I could get my usual ride cymbal sound and then
something that sounded like the bell part, and logically it was near
the top of the pad.

That's never happened before.

It's not reliable, I can't work out how to cause it to happen
reliably, but then in the middle of something (after having rebooted
the brain, so it shouldn't be a software glitch), there's that 'ting'
again.

That pad's not a two-zone is it?

Any theories?

There is a way of programming the pad sound so a very hard hit
produces a different sound which some people use to get the bell
sound, but I cannot remember how.  Which kit were you using?

It's the Xfade. Press Voice, hit the cymbal/pad and press Page> about
7 times. The xfading it's beetwen the two layers. See also the "bells
and whistles" trick under "tips and tricks" section of

Thanks.

Keith.

Not sure about anyone else's experience with the PM-10, but I 
personally didn't like the sound that it produced.  To me it was like 
listening to a speaker through a wet wash cloth.  Very muddy sounding, 
and I just don't think that a 30w amplifier with a 10" 2 way coaxial 
speaker is good enough to handle the highs and lows produced from an E-
Drum system.  Of course that is just my opinion.

For the price you'd spend on the PM-10, I think it's a little pricey.  
I've been using a Behringer KX1200 120w keyboard amplifier in my bands 
practice studio, and it works like a charm!  Not to mention, it's 
about a $100.00 less than the Roland amp.

I know some people have had bad experiences with the KX1200, but there 
are alot of positive responses from our members, too!

Hope this helps a little bit....
