Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hello!

I recently purchased a used Yamaha DTEXPRESS drum module, and it 
didn't come with a users manual.  I found that yamaha now charges 
~$20  for the manual, over the phone or online...and that you can't 
even GET it for 6-8 weeks because new manuals are being printed.  
does ANYONE have access to a manual that can be copied for me, or do 
you know of somewhere else online that I can get it?

If you had the file to send to me that would be even better....

I need to learn this thing FAST!

Thanks,
Eddie

Hi Eddie,

A few of the initial pages are in the files section of this group 
(over to the left window from where you're reading his) along with
the 
table on contents.  The whole manual is around 100 pages, so I don't 
know if Kinko's or Yamaha would be cheaper.  If you're in a bind I
can 
try to scan in some more pages, but it takes about 15 minutes per
page 
with the biggest slowdown being finding time to do it.  I thought 
about using the text recognition approach at least for the pages that 
were only text, but that takes time to explore too.  

Is anyone else reading this post able to kick in and help scan pages 
of the manual? I scaned each page, adjusted them down to a readable 
size, and converted them to GIFs, massaged them in my photo editing 
program, and stored them with the page number as the file name.  I 
tried to get them as small as possible, keeping them good enough 
to be able to read them, but they're still 500K (or more) each page.

Let me know by using the table of contents pages if there are 
particular pages that you need, and I'll get it done as quick as I 
can, but I may need to ask for your patience.  Walt
