Re: Anyone using more than one Hi-Hat pad set-up with one controller?

2004-12-01 by zapaxe

Wow, now THAT's interesting!

Yeah, I'm only using my DTXpress I and III modules now and thinking 
of different creative ways to connect pads. Things are going to get 
real crazy when I start using my Alesis DM Pro module!
Especially with the Hi-Hat situation, these cool idea's can really 
give you multiple Hi-Hat sounds. It's a trip to have two choices of 
Hat set-up in one song without stopping changing the voice sample. 
Your way with the idea of having MORE inbetween sounds like a  great 
idea to try:)
If only I had room for TWO snares!:o As it is, I love the excess of 
cybal rides and crashes. My drummer friend (acoustic player) of 25 
years of playing almost didn't know what to do with all my pads!

Thanks, Steve
