Re: [DTXpress] Exanding the DTXpress

The only way I know to add more pad inputs is to get a trigger to midi converter. You can buy these little boxes quite cheaply and they convert standard pad trigger signals into a midi output to control other midi devices. I'm not a midi expert, in fact I'm more of a midi dunce, but the principle seems sound, I just don't know how you actually set up the sounds on the DTXpress to relate to the new midi input.
Maybe a more midi'd up person on the board could suggest how this might work.

I have a somewhat similar question to Groovin Bill's.
Basically, I would like to add new drum pads to my DTXpress. I currently have all of my inputs used, including the 9/10 being used with a dual zone pintech concert cast snare (works very well!)
I have heard some mention of using other Brains for this function, the problem is that I haven't found much really good information on what Brains would function with the DTX Brain as well as how to do this.
I was looking at the Alesis D4 or DM5 brains for this purpose. Can anyone offer me some suggestions?
Thanks,
Brett Kadrie
