Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hello group,
I have just expanded my DTXIII standard with the hihat pad and an 
extra stereo cymbal. So now I have hihat 3 toms (one is from the old 
hihat) 2 crashes 1 ride floor tom and snare. The module supports all 
except the 3rd tom. I'm searching for hour on this forum to find a 
solution. There is a workaroung by splitting one stereo cable to 2 
mono and plug the 3rd tom. I have prepared that adaptor but I need to 
configure it out from the module which I'm not so expert. Do you have 
any idea how can I configure them.

Many thanks
Antonis

You can use inputs 9/10 as single zone inputs.  For this you need your
splitter and can then put two single zone pads into 9/10.  Then you
can put your new stereo cymbal into one of the dual zone inputs.  For
example, you could move TOM3 to 9/10 and put the dual zone cymbal
where TOM3 used to go.

Does that make sense?

Yes it makes sense thank you very much. Will try that but are you 
sure that tom3(5) is for dual zone?

Yes, just plug a two zone pad in and try it (I have).  All the inputs
are dual zone.  Some (eg the snare) are three zone.  TOM3 isn't 3 zone.
