Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi all,

I have a lot of questions for you. I have 15 Pads/Drums (Mesh), and 1 
DTXPress II:

1- How come I can't connect two pads into input 2, 6, or 7? Anybody explain 
how 3-zone Pad works please?

2- If I want to connect those 15 Pads/Drums all together, what kind of 
options do I have (Two deferent Brains, one Brain (Roland TD-10 for 
example)? If I connected them to two deferent Brains, will I lose some 
features in both Brains (Recording for example)? If I want to have a second 
new DTXPress II Brain only, how would I buy this (I searched the market, 
it's delivered with the complete DTXPress II set only)


Thanks.

Please go back through the archives for the many, many lengthy 
discussions and descriptions of how "stereo" and "dual-zone" inputs 
work. Bottom line: you can't do it, because Yamaha inputs are stereo 
and not dual zone.

You can get a trigger-to-MIDI converter like the Roland TMC-6 or 
(now obsolete) PM-16, or a second brain. Unless you connect the two 
brains using MIDI, you would not be able to record a single song 
using pads connected to two brains.
