Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi guys,

thanks for all the answers.

I've been testing some things and the following things work.
When I plug my KP65 in to 9/10 then everything works oke.
My basedrum is pad9 and the extra pad connected to the input is then 
pad 10. This works.
the only thing is that i had a bap pad connected to 9/10.
When I plug that into 1 I've only have one trigger??

What my intention was, is that I plug the KP65 into trigger 1.
When i hit the base it would be pad1, and when i hit the extra pad 
connected to the input on the kp65 it should be RIM1.
The rim1 never worked on the KP65. The odd thing is that when I 
connect a tp80s pas (dual trigger) to input 1, it all works fine.The 
normal pad is pad1, and the rimshot in the pad is rim1.......

So, I'm confused here. Apparently there is a great difference between 
the electrical inputs on the tp80s and the KP65.

Now, connected the bar pad to input 1, I only can hit 1 pad on the 
bar pad. The other pad doesn't work. I hoped that the other pad would 
be rim1. Also, when i change the input pad parameter, nothing changes.

So, still..........Strange things.

Anyone got any new ideas....

Thanks in advance guys, for your great help...
