Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi guys!

I bought a Yamaha DTXpress set last saturday, and I have one question 
about using external sounds, as opposed to the ones generated by the 
brain. 

I want to use, for example, my Kurzweil K2600's existing drum program with 
my DTXpress pads. The Kurz program has certain drum sounds mapped to 
certain MIDI notes, and to be able to play a snare with my DTXpress, my 
snare pad needs to send the MIDI note number that corresponds to the snare 
sound on the Kurz. Apparently, though, the MIDI note numbers sent by the 
brain are only dependent on which input that generates the particular MIDI 
event, and cannot be changed. I know how to change which sound the brain 
generates when a pad is hit, but it looks like I can't change the outgoing 
note number.

Am I wrong?

If not, I will need to create a new Kurz program and assign the drum 
sounds I want to use to the keys that correspond to my pads. This is of 
course possible, but I'd rather do this mapping on the DTXpress itself. I 
hope it can be done somehow...

Help appreciated,

If I understand what you want to do, you'd like to change midi notes sent by
the DTXpress brain? Yes, you can. Edit your kit in the voice menu. Choose
your pad. Change the midi note in a screen where it is written note#= (just
after the decay screen). Does it work?
