Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Someone at the Yahoo Electronic Drums Group says that Pintech has a 
module in the development stages. Brian, is that true? Anyone?

Are these the same folks that said that Yamaha and Roland were coming out
with new high-end killer modules at this Summer's NAMM??? By the why Ed, did
you notice that Yamaha added their drum amp (MS-100DR/MS-50DR) to thier
website?

OGD,

I'll have to check out the Yamaha amp. On the report of the killer 
modules (at least the Yamaha one), I'm afraid that I have to take 
some of the credit, and the loss of credibility, on that one. But I 
had the info on good authority. I'm now switching my story to Winter 
NAMM. I don't know the poster on Electronic Drums who claims 
knowledge of the Pintech module, but he received word from Pintech 
personally. But Brian's in our pipeline. He'll tell us the truth, 
right Brian?

Hey Guys,
We started looking into a midi module last year around October and 
it ended up falling threw. It was going to be an OEM deal with KAT. 
We had discussed them building the old Midi Kiti for us and us 
putting our name on it and bundling it with a sample based program 
for the computer. However due to some time conflicts it didn't 
happen......
We were then approached by Ddrum in January at NAMM about doing a 
distribution deal on their modules. This gave us a incredible access 
to the Ddrum 4 and it's future successors and I can say this has 
been going very well. Plus, we are extremely happy with the 
responses we have received on that module. 
As for what we are working on......well we are still talking about a 
module......nothing in progress, just on paper. I will also say that 
with the designing of a possible module, we are looking into a lot 
of untouched technology. 
I can promise what we have been trying, you've not seen nor will you 
any time soon (may be another year or more for us). The only other 
real comment I have is about how much money you have to spend to do 
the R&D on these things.....it should wash the car and feed the 
baby, BUT.............no luck yet on those features.

Hey Brian,

As an "old Midi Kiti" user, I remember rumors swirling last year 
about the Midikiti resurfacing (gee, some rumors actually have some 
basis in fact); I even told someone at Alternate Mode that it was a 
good idea. Do you think they listened to me? Fat chance. Thanks for 
the update. I can say, for one, that the match between Pintech and 
ddrum was made in heaven. Thanks for that, too.
