I picked up the new Yamaha Dtxpress IV kit on friday from Electromusic in Doncaster. This is my first electronic kit and I will say I am mighty impressed. The...
Thanks for the info folks. Much appreciated. I haven't had a chance to take it apart yet, but sounds easy enough. ... and ... were gone. ... user ... what ... ...
Hi ppl When I told my local music shop owner, who is a drummer, I'd bought a DTXpress he said "have you tried playing it live?" Now, two, maybe three years on,...
hy j i have the same problem at my church, the bass combo is totaly f... my high hat , my proble is mostly because i have the pad on a single stand , the gain...
From a chemical standpoint, leaving the module on all the time would more than likely shorten the overall life of the battery, as opposed to enhance it....
Using stock settings on my DTXIII with the TP65S, I'm get rim 2 sounds on rim 1, which I am sure I'm striking. It happens occasionally, but is becoming more...
... I cannot agree with the suggestion that it flattens the battery more to leave the unit turned off. These are lithium primary cells with a shelf life of...
... Both the rims use a switch, with the rim 2 switch having a 10k resistor in series with it. If you are getting rim2 sounds from rim 1, it suggests the rim...
Hi All, The post below was written in 2002, unfortunately nobody replied so I thought I'd repost and see if anyone could help. I'm getting the nearly the same...
... Paul, I am sure you can do what you want - I have done it from time to time. You need to change the UT CLK VOICESET to "User Voice" (section 4.1). Then...
Hi Guys I modified my hardware some time ago but never thought to post up the pics, so I've submitted some in the 'photos' section of the group. It struck me...
Hi, I am a fresh owner of a DTXPress IV module, that I'm trying to use with my ddrum trigger. I realized to my disappointment that I can't quite seem to get a...
... I don't know much about ddrum triggers, but if it uses two piezos then that is your problem. There is a circuit in the files section which "converts" two...
... Thanks, I'll check that out. ... Yes, I know. I don't actually have a 3 zone pad, I meant that I tried the very same drum with the ddrum trigger on one of...
... My theory was that the module would sense when the head and rim are hit simultaneously, and play back a rim shot sound. I guess not. Anyway, I am able to...
... There is a method of using the "cross fade" to get different sounds from a single pad. A common use is to get a bell sound and a cymbal sound from a...
Hi, I decided to start a separate topic about the FD8. I bought the FD8 to use with my DTXPress IV without much thought, thinking they would work together just...
I don't know anything about the FD8, but I do have the Yamaha HH pedal and know how that works. If you have access to multimeter and measure the resistance...
Alright, I got around to do some measuring. Fully depressed, the FD8 has zero resistance, and 20.8 kOhms in the up position. This is on tip/sleeve, as I think...
... OK, at least the resitance goes the right way round i.e closing it lowers the resitance. The Yamaha peadal has a 150k resistor in series with the tip. It...
Just re-reading an old post I made when someone was trying to make a simple switch work as a hihat pedal, I suggested putting a 150k from the ring to the tip...
Hi all , was wondering if anyone has tried the midi connection between the DD-50 (7 pad one piece unit) and the Dtxpress2 module? Both have a midi in/out on...
How do you recording directly into 4-track DAW with DTXpress w/o using MIDI? I looked on the back of the DTXpress II I have and there doesn't appear to be a...
... After experimenting with quite a number of different resistors, I am now able to open and close the hi-hat. With a 5.6k resistor, it seemed to work...
