Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi,

I recieved two pads to add to my DTXpressII for Christmas (A PCY65 
and a TP65).  Now to add these to the module using the 9/10 input, 
do I need to go out and buy a stereo cable and a stereo signal 
splitter or is there a way to get both pads working using the mono 
cables they came with and not buying anything extra?  Thanks so much!

Glad to hear you got some goodies for Christmas!  About the only thing you 
would need is a y-spiltter that lets you feed both mono cables into the 
splitter so that you get both left and right signal paths (input 9 and 10, 
respectively).  The other end will be a stereo plug going into the input jack 
on the brain.  That should be all you need.

Hi, I just found out the answer myself, I'm moving my 2 toms to 9/10 
to make room for the 2 Roland cy6 dual trigger chokable cymbals I 
just got. 

Basically you need a 1/4" stereo splitter that has a RED & WHITE 
OUTPUT SPLIT. Meaning R mono & L mono channels.

If you try a regular stereo splitter it wont work because that is 
just giveing you 2 seperate stereos out a R & L and another R & L. I 
also tried a mono splitter which made 2 triggers have the same signal 
and same sound. 8>(

I Called the Brainless boneheads @ my local radio shlock and it turns 
out I have to buy 3 adapters to rig this up because they don't make 1 
adapter that does this.
They gave me these Part #'s over the phone, 
{1} 274-893    and   {2} of  there  274-909's. 

But, there probably the wrong parts. They always screw things up 
there, I always have to go look myself. lol They are clueless in 
there. But I will be going tomorrow to pick them up. I'll let you 
know if it works and what the correct part #'s are. I heard a company 
called HOSA makes them but i'm unsure of where to locate them.

Hope this helps, I'll let you know what I find and hook you up.

Heres another solution, but i'm still looking,...

Heres direct links to the product pages.

You'll need 1 of these: Item # 333030

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=040104165615024229236181614345
/g=home/search/detail/base_pid/333030/

And 2 of these:   Item # 333060

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=040104165615024229236181614345
/g=home/search/detail/base_pid/333060/


But I always look for a better way. I have a feeling this may be my 
best solution though.
