Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I originally posted this message when the site was down this 
afternoon. If it repeats, I'll delete it.

There's an almost new DTXpress II currently on auction at ebay. Among 
other things, the author has this to say about it:

"It is also FULLY PROGRAMMED!! No small feat, believe me. Programming 
the rejection/self rejection/special rejection settings alone is 
enough to make you consider suicide!!! I don't know if all units have 
this problem, but the snare pad and high-hat pad would not trigger 
simultaniously out of the box. In other words, if you hit the snare 
pad and high-hat pad together, the snare pad would not trigger. That 
is not an acceptable error for a drummer!!! After several hours of 
reprogramming, I got it straight."

If the seller had been a member of this group, he would have known 
that the module shipped with a faulty setting, and he would have 
saved himself considerable time and aggravation. In fact, the problem 
would have solved in a matter of minutes. This case is a good example 
of why Yamaha should consider including mention of this group (and/or 
the forthcoming Drumb and Drumber guide) in its manual for the 
DTXpress III or other product literature. We could also save Yamaha a 
lot of aggravation. The moderators et al. have discussed making this 
pitch, and when the time is right, we will.
