Ed...don't know what's happening to these messages, but they are not
posting. I called Yamaha, at the direction of Dave Sike, he refered
me to Yamaha Applications Specialist. His name is Jack,> Anyway,
he told me after 2 phone calls, that the DTXII module will NOT work
with the Midi Kiti. He tried assigning a specific note using a
keyboard, and the note was a DIFFERENT VOICE than what it should
have been, he used a DTX2 module=keyboard. I told him that guys
were using pm-16s and midi kitis, and why does the DTX book say you
can use it to "connect to other external midi devices". After 3
call backs from this Jack, from Yamaha, he said that I may have to
use the factory presets in the KITI to get a ride cymbal sound. I
asked if the DTX module will play the KITI factory preset sounds in
the KITI thru my headphones, he said it may. I can't believe I
have spent over 300 bucks total on something I can't use. I can't
believe that this module can not be used with this Kat-which IS an
EXTERNAL MIDI DEVICE!! But I remember in one of your posts, you
said you didn't have the DTX module...so maybe Yamaha is right?
Let me know if ya get this...something must be happening on one of
the servers, because i don't see my reply to Walt, or you posted
anywhere in the group or my yahoo mailbox.
Hope ya get this. And one more question...isn't th PM16 similar to
the KITI...don't ya have to program notes for the Roland to work?
Seems like "underneatheaven" must hav his pm-16 working.
