Linking kit to a song
2003-05-19 by Nick Carroll
Hey, guys. The wonderful folk at the Yamaha Customer Support have answered my perplexing question of several months: How to link a kit to a song you have stored, so that when you change from one user song to another it will change to the desired kit automatically. And I don't think you'll find this in the manuals. ------------------------------------------- To assign a kit to a song do the following: 1) Select User song from the Play mode. 2) Press [SONG] button. 3) Press [PAGE DOWN] button to select Channel and PCNo screen. 4) Select Channel 10 and turn channel ON. Top line of display should read ''SONG Ch10= on''. 5) Using [SEL] buttons, move cursor to ''PCNo'' field and enter desired kit number for current song. 6) Press [PLAY] button to return to Play mode. ------------------------------------------- Now, having given you the answer, I've got to say that it hasn't worked for me. My module still defaults to Kit # 40 GM std 1. I am wondering whether to revert my DTXpress to factory settings, and try again. That's something I'd rather not do because of all the work it will take to restore all the kits and songs I have created. So can someone please try out the above procedure and tell me if it works for you? If it doesn't work, I'll write to Customer Support again.
