Hey all, Does there exist any software to edit a DTX(press) drum kit on the PC? For example, you download the sysex, then open it in a program to edit it on the PC, save it, then send it back. If it doesn't exist, would anyone be interested in such a program? Or do you feel it is easy enough to edit on the DTX(press) and such a program would be useless/not used/not needed. Bill

Just kiddin That would be pretty cool though to edit on the pc.

Bill, This comes up from time to time. When I first got my kit in Sept. of 2002, I asked the same question and the answer then, as it is now is no. I personnally would love to see a program in which the kits could be upload, edited and downloaded. I think those that have the software programming capabilities to do it, don't have the time and those folks that have the time to do it, don't have the programming skills. So this project has never been tackled. So, we are still hoping someone will come along and create one.

I actually looked at doing this a little over a year ago. The big problem I ran into was that Yamaha doesn't publish it's data communications format specification. If they did, I think the user base programs would start to flow. This is what stopped me -- I had no desire to beg/harrass/plead with Yamaha for the specification nor the inclination to sit with a data analyzer for hours on end to reverse engineer it. My hopes are that Yamaha will make this information available, in my opinion it would only help strengthen their product line by making more useful 3rd party software available to all users.

I'm pretty busy with some consulting projects right now, but I expect that to ease up in a month or so. At this point I can't make any promises... ;-) But I'm sure there are others who would take this and run with it -- I know there are many other programmers in both the Yamaha groups that have expressed interest. BTW, I actually have a DTXtreme module so I'd love the data transfer/format specifications for it too. I'm guessing the DTXpress and DTXtreme modules are similar, but slightly different (owing to the different ranges of sounds/songs/layering etc.) I've been thinking of looking for a used DTXpress module just to have one around and I'd need one for testing any software I'd write. Ideally someone who has access to both modules could probably write an editor/storage manager software package that could work with all Yamaha modules. Matt

Matt, What about editing the SYSEX file after it has been received from the DTXpress? Instead of editing it directly right on the brain. Would that be easier?

Bill, I don't think the intent was to edit the data remotely from a PC. The idea was to download the user drum kit/settings from the module into a PC and then have a spreadsheet or similar style format that you could easily change items either globally or individually and then save it on the PC for safe keeping and then upload it back into the module. As I noted in my email to Yamaha, for me with three modules and a four on it's way, it would be a godsend, when setting up new kits, to have a utility like this.

OGD, That's the lines I was looking down. Downloading the sysex (using DTXchange for example), edit it, then send it back. Sounds easy enough, right? :) It's been a while since I did any programming, but I'm willing to give it a shot. Maybe two or three (or more) of us can put our heads together and figure something out. I think Matt mentioned he might have some time in the near future. And any help from Yamaha would be great.

Hi guys Please check out the file in the group's Files section called "DTXport.doc". It describes a program that I have already written that goes most of the way to solving this problem. I wrote it to work with my DTXv2 but it could be converted/extended to be aware of the other module formats. (BTW all the module brands have different formats - I have not checked between module versions though) If someone wants to take this further then pleaae drop me a line as it has not progressed in the last year as I felt there was no interest in such a utility.

I wouldn't mind having a go at an editor if I could get the info but I don't have the time to reverse engineer it. I have contacted Yamaha Australia and asked for the DTXpressII sysex but they said they don't have it and they doubt that Japan would give it to anyone. This is a change of policy since they freely gave me sysex info in the past and often published it in the user manuals. The unit understands Parameter Change sysex so it is possible to edit a kit without sysex dumps but the user manual doesn't publish details like the parameter numbers. If anyone manages to get hold of the info I would love a copy. Peter --- In DTXpress@yahoogroups.com, rdamon@m... wrote: > Bill, > > I don't think the intent was to edit the data remotely from a PC.

Peter, Great news!! Here is the response from Yamaha Japan: --------------------------------------------------------------------- CC: Jim Haler Hello, Thank you for your proposal. Actually we do have a convert tool of Sysex(MIDI bulk) data and CSV(Spread sheet). But it is just only for internal development use so we don't have a plan to be a public. Also we don't have a plan to produce such kind of software right now. But data format of MIDI sysex (bulk data, parameter change) is not a secret and we had been send a document for individual requests sinse DTXPRESS. So If You or your friends want to know about data format, please request us. Best regards, -- So Tanaka --------------------------------------------------------------------- I think it is just a matter of asking Jim Haler now exactly what info. you will need and we will be on our way.

Great! If someone can get me the sysex format info and the parameter change details, or let me know who to contact to get the info, I'll thrash out the details and see what can be done.

I have had no luck getting through to Yamaha on this issue. I got an email back from Yamaha US (possibly automated) saying they won't deal with me here in Australia and that I should contact the local Yamaha but, as I said earlier, they say they can't get the sysex info for me. Does anyone have the email address for So Tanaka (who apparently responded to the previous inquiry from someone on this list) so I can give him a try?

Peter, I will send off an email to Jim Haler, referencing my email to So Tanaka, but my guess is with NAMM, we won't get a response until later in the week. Since So did not send it with his response to me, I just assumed that he was expecting us to go through Jim Haler. I will pass on to you wantever they send me. I will also be sending an email to So asking him a few questions, such as when the Dtxtreme IIS manual will be available for download and a few other questions that I have. If anybody else has any specific questions about the dtxpress III or the dtxtreme IIS, I will include them in my email to him. I figured I would send it out Sunday night, just in case some of the folks at NAMM, came back with answers to mine questions first.

Peter, By the way, I was the one that contact Jim and So. I have several email accounts that pass through with my posts. OldGuyDrummer = OGD = Dtxpress Moderator = rdamon@mck... OGD

Thanks, I assume Jim Haler is someone from Yamaha US? The guy I spoke to at Yamaha here was friendly and reasonably helpful but he seemed so convinced that Japan would not release the sysex info he wasn't even prepared to try. I look forward to getting the info. Cheers, Peter --- In DTXpress@yahoogroups.com, "oldguydrummer" <rdamon@m...> wrote:
