Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I just emailed Martin at Yamaha support last week about the two remaining
replacement IC chips for my DtxpressII modules that I was still waiting for.
In the email I commented on the Phantom "PCY150" and how it was mentioned in
the DtxpressII manual under trigger settings and it is also referenced in
the voice setup for zones 6 & 7. (There are voice assignments available for
Ride/RideE/RideC i.e. Ride=pad, RideE=edge, RideC=cup.) I even tried to
butter him up by telling him I was planning a replace three of my existing
PCY80S with PCY65s or the mystical PCY150 and replacing all of my TP65 with
TP65S. Considering NAMM is just days away, he could have at least said, "You
might want to hold off for a few days before you place your
order"....BUT....

The only response to my comments/question was in reference to the
back-ordered IC Chips, being shipped as soon as they received. Absolutely no
comment or response about the phantom PCY150. My guess is that either,
Yamaha made one but had too much cross-trigger problems and is having
trouble making it work ---or--- that it will be released at NAMM with it's
new flag ship kit/module to replace the now discontiued Dtxtreme. On the
other hand, since the DtxpressII has been so successful, the only thing they
add is an upgraded version of the DTXPressII with the PCY150 cymbals. Thus
keeping the price low and reasonable. Just a guess.
