Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi all! ... I was reading a post about connecting two modules and 
decided to post my own solution:
On mod 2, plug a 1/4 cord into the mono out, and with an adapter on 
the other end of the 1/4 cable , plug it into the aux in , on the 
front of mod 1, and by using the mono out on mod 1 , you now have 2 
mods on one kit, taking up only one channel on the mixing board.
This is my actual set up, except i have a yamaha dd-50 that i use in 
place if the second mod, mostly used for percussion stuff while i 
have my dtxpress2 set to a standard 5 piece kit.

And, as for thr tc14 pintech series cymbals, i bought 2 to augment my 
kit, overall i am not happy with them, sometimes they work sometimes 
not, also when they work , you really have to find a "sweet spot" and 
have good aim to have them work all the time. I am looking forward to 
getting some of the new yamaha series e-cymbals in the near future, 
replacing the tc14's. 

later all!

---Pretty much what I did.

I use the mono out (L) on the second module to the Aux. in on the 
first module.

Now my challenge is the fact that since it is not stereo I only hear 
mod #2 in my left ear. Frustrating...

Something else to consider:

If you use a "insert cable" from the left/right (mono/mono) output of 
module one and plug it into the stereo "AUX-IN" on the front of 
module 2, you will get the sounds in both ears.

An "insert Cable" is a Y-splitter cable that has two mono 1/4" jacks 
(left/right) and converts to a single stereo 1/4" jack.

HOSA makes one that has 36" of cable, which is more than enough 
length to reach between the front and rear of the two modules.

OGD, 

Saved me again!!! Thanks! :-)

Why do you choose a mono cord instead of a Dual 1/4" mono to a stereo
1/8" plug so you get both channels? Just curious....
