Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I installed the new chip and went through 90 percent of menus/voices. 
They are no changes. The module now chokes on all zones 1-8. While I 
had the module open I snapped a few photos of the inside.
One of the unassembled unit, one with the PC-board with the zone 1-8 
connectors shifted out of the way, one of the "ROM CHIP" and one of 
the backup battery.

Since the user kits/trigger settings are saved elsewhere, nothing was 
lost in the surgerical procedure. I works like a charm. 

What is interesting is that the references to the PCY150 (three zone 
cymbal) is still there and the trigger input for zones 6 and 7 still 
have settings for ride/rideE/rideC (bow/edge/cup) which has to be 
accomplished on a stereo cable only. So somewhere in the R&D 
backrooms of Yamaha there has to be a three zone cymbal in the works.


Now if I can just get two more of these chips for the other modules I 
have.
