[Edited] Hi, I'm thinking of some creative routing and connection options... I have a DTXpress I pad set with extra cymbal and drum pads, dual & single trigger. I'll likely get more pads... I also have three drum modules, the DTXpress I, DTXpress III, and an Alesis DM Pro module. I was thinking about using all three drum modules for selected/prefered drum and cymbal sounds, then routing the various selected outputs into my mixer. Obviously with multiple modules I can run individual drum sounds out for treatment of say the snare, for added FX's. And now I'll have the capability to run a single drum sound into a recorded track. With what I have I figure I can have about seven different cymbal sounds. Maybe even alternate Hi-Hats and extra toms etc... As for the snare I was thinking of even putting a "Y" adapter and split the pads triggered signal to two modules to combine sounds, similar to layering sounds in one module. I thought about even using a selector switch somewhere convenient to route, say the snare pad from one module to another independently, and I could do this with other pads as well. This would be similar to a patchbay, without having to plug and unplug cords. In fact, I could make a Patchbay multi-selector switch box to route selected pads that I may want to switch between the modules. Not sure which module will control wich cymbal or drum pad at this point. But I figure the DTXpress I module has the least impressive cymbal samples...? Any of your own thoughts or problems with my thought? This may be interesting to hear some other idea's. Steve
