Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I just started using the DTXpress... I'm a beginner drummer and I 
think using this unit will be a great way to learn... I'm doing okay 
so far.

Trouble is, the kit belongs to a friend, and he happens to be 
notorious for losing manuals...  I saw there were a few pages of the 
manual available in 'files' but not the whole thing... I also checked 
Yamaha's site, and unfortunately they do not have a PDF stockpile... 
SOOOO... can anyone help me here?

:-)

Here is some information on getting a manual for the DTXpress set.  
Beware it takes a while to get this from Yamaha.  About three weeks 
for me.

You can call Yamaha toll free: 1-888-892-6242 (USA only) to order 
> owners' manuals (no charge), service manuals/schematics, parts, or 
> accessories, if available, (major credit cards accepted.)

You said in you're message there were pages of the
manual in "files".  Where can I find "files" ?  I am
new to this group and am unsure how to navigate.

Hi Stu,

Just to the left of where I'm typing this response to you are a list 
of various sections of this group, such as home, post, chat, files, 
etc.  It hopefully is just to the left of where you're reading this.  
If you click on the files link, there is a subdirectory called 
DTXpressmanual.  It is in that sub directory you'll find the pages 
that have been stored.  The whole manula is about 90 pages long, so I 
haven't scanned the whole thing.  I did include the Table of Contents 
pages, so if there are specific pages you'd like, I'll try to add them 
to the group.  There is also a post in here (recent) about how to 
order a replacement manual from Yamaha. Walt

I haven't been here in a long time, been very busy enjoying my 
DTXtremeIIs in live gig situations, and let me tell you... after neary 
30 years as an acoustic player, messing with drum mics, EQs, 
compressors, etc... I am in love with this module.  (i use the module 
only not the pads, although i like the yamaha pads but not for live)

Anyway.... big question here... I've mostly worked with mixing and 
matching, and combining stock sounds, with little experimentation with 
FX.

We are introducing a song and I NEED a certain snare sound w/FX.  It'll 
probably take me years to figure out, but I'm sure there are some 
experts here that can give me exact instruction on how to re-create the 
sound I need.

Listen to the song Pour Some Sugar on Me, by Def Leppard.  Forgetting 
about the snare sound through most of the song, fast forward to 2:50 
where for the first of several times, there is an additional snare 
sound.

It sounds like some kind of reverse flange/reverb mix or something.  
Well, I need that puppy!  Can anyone recreate that in a single stick 
strike and send me the settings?

Thanks muchly!
