Andy, more props to you!

Andy, I've been messing with your tips on manipulating note #'s so as to voice different kits simultaneously, and so far it's working great. (Haven't had a whole lot of time.) Anyway, since the DTXpress is recording the MIDI note #, velocity, note on and off messages, etc., instead of the pad actually struck, as I once thought (which makes more sense anyway), it seems that the DTXpress is limited only by its capacity to assign a specific note to either a) the rim, or b) the pad. Correct? If this is the case, then (I think) Yamaha doesn't have a clear grasp of this tool's ability. Correct? (I'm just trying to see if I follow you on all of this.) Also, while using my MIDI Orchestrator program what you said about note #'s rang true because I can move a note on and off message (literally, a midi note) up and down the scale and the DTXpress will voice them all no matter what kit I am set to. But then when I actually play a song back the notes become slave to the DTXpress controls. This becomes obvious when you think of it in terms of note #. Anyway, your help has so far been priceless, and I haven't even had time to apply it yet! I appreciate it. --Aaron
