Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Jade,

Remember that the only place that you can add new pads is input 
9/10, which will take either two mono pads or one dual-zone pads. 
The TP80s, as a stereo pad, won't give you both rim and body through 
9/10, only the body. 

The Visu-lite hi hat assembly is definitely on the way. Tom and I 
just procured a Yamaha module to serve as the basis for it, and Tom 
got out his trusty ohm meter to measure the signal of the Yamaha 
HH80 controller last Saturday. The plan is to make a controller that 
can accomodate both Roland and Yamaha modules with the flick of a 
switch. Very cool.
