Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Dear all,

I am considering to buy another cymbal - PCY 150S, to be used as a
ride. Is it possible to run the kit given the following:
- the PCY150S shall have different bell and ride sound but must not
show the choking feature
- two other cymbal PCY65S would also be run. Both shall have the
choking feature
- the rest is according to the normal DTXPIII ST setup.
How to assign the inputs 1-10?

Thanks for your help in advance.

1 - crash (PCY65s)
2 - snare (TP65s)
3 - tom1 (TP65)
4 - tom2 (TP65)
5 - tom3 (TP65)
6 - ride (PCY150s)
7 - crash (PCY65s)
8 - hihat (TP65)
9 - kick (KP65)
10 - cymbal (PCY65) [Plug into KP65]

The only problem with the I/III modules is that choking is enabled on 
all inputs 1-8. On the II choking was only available on inputs 2,6,7. 
I don't have the III module, but with the pad is assigned as type 
RHH130, the choking is disabled. So you maybe able to setup the 
PCY150s as a type RHH130 and see if it works, which theoretically 
should disable the choking, but you will have to see how the 
bell/pad/rim setups and triggers.

Thanks OGD. - Just to add that, I am running a DTXP III module.

In the meantime I purchased a PCY-150 and I found a setting which
works perfectly. Actually I previously made a mistake as I overlooked
the pad type setting for the PCY-150 which is actually PCY1 not PCY3
as the "normal" cymbal pads would require.

1 - kick (KP65)
2 - snare (TP65S)
3 - tom 1 (TP65)
4 - tom 2 (TP65)
5 - Crash 2 (PCY65S)
6 - ride (PCY150S)
7 - crash 1 (PCY65S)
8 - hihat (TP65)
9/10 - Tom 3 (TP65) 

All cymbals are chokeable as you rightly mentioned that the  DTXP III
module offers that feature for all the 1-8 inputs. The PCY-150S
therefore has a 3-zone capability: Cup, pad, edge.
