Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Thanks fort the responses. Does anyone have any experience with the Alesis
D4 or DM5 as an add on Brain?

I'm really surprised that this concept isn't talked about more. As is, the
DTXpress is pretty limited for adding any new pads. I've tried tapping the
minds at my local music shop, but haven't had any new ideas.

I'm basically wanting to add a whole new set of inputs...full stereo inputs
that is, so that's why I'd like the extra Brain. I guess there's always the
option of adding the next higher level DTXpress brain that I've seen
advertized...that should definitely work.....but be a bit pricey!

Thanks,
Brett Kadrie

> The only way I know to add more pad inputs is to get a trigger to midi
converter.  You can buy these little boxes quite cheaply and they convert
standard pad trigger signals into a midi output to control other midi
devices.  I'm not a midi expert, in fact I'm more of a midi dunce, but the
principle seems sound, I just don't know how you actually set up the sounds
on the DTXpress to relate to the new midi input.
