Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

So (Keith) I think you're the only one here-- lol 

I added another cymbal pad and use it on the rt side for my ride.
Now the cymbal 2 on my user kits I can define ---as a different crash..
BUT on all the Brain's kits 1-49, cymbal 2 is still a default ride for each kit. How can I change ALL kits to be show that cymabal not as a ride but a kit specific crash. 
Tell me it doesn't have to be done ~1~ at a time.  ! 

also I dont quite get what the 9/10 jack is for...(my extra cymbal is in it 9 now) but whats 10..? is it the second input off the kick? and whats it for?

It sometimes seems like that!  I think plenty of people read the posts
but because I get my reply in first, they don't need to reply. 
Hopefully others will jump in when I get it wrong.

I wish I could, but as far as I know, the kits just look at input
numbers not names such as "crash".  However, couldn't you just swap the
cables over?

All the inputs 1-8 are dual zone (or 3 zone) which use a single piezo
input and a switch (on the connector ring) to get the alternative
sound(s).  9/10 consists of two single zone inputs which requires two
piezos.  To get both 9 & 10 sounds you need two pads and a Y splitter
cable which will split the stereo jack input into two mono jack
connectors.  There is some rubbish where you can use the kick pad as a
splitter.  I cannot remember why, but it seemed like a daft idea when I
tried it - just buy a Y splitter.

I knew someone else was watching.  Good to hear from you Rob.

I hope it is.  I also moderate on the DTXtreme group now.  I have a new PCB for the DTXpander which I will hopefully be selling soon.  EU regulations sort of killed the original one off and it was too expensive anyway so I only sold a couple of dozen.  The new one should be a third of the price and should suit the DIY builders better.  There is a sticky thread on the circuit over on the Vdrum forum as well, so I try to keep an eye on it.  It seems pretty popular - I have had around 400 emails about it over the years.

I am not doing as much drumming at the moment, partly because I recently bought a gu$t@r!  I also bought an acoustic kit a couple of years ago but sold it after a while - I still prefer my DTXpress.
