Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Actually, I was under the impression that inputs 1-8 could take the
rubberized Yamaha and Roland dual trigger pads, meaning, anything with a
Piezo and a Force Sensing Resistor input on the rim (which includes the
PCY80S cymbal).  So, simply replace your existing snare in port one with a
TP80S dual zone and you'll have the capability you need to run it without
using the Stereo input.

In the voice parameter source edit, pad1, rim1, pad2, rim2, etc. exist, so I
assume these are all individual assignable to sounds.  This includes rimOpen
and rimCls inputs on the high hat pad based on pedal position.  However,
since I have no dual zone pads and haven't found it in the manual, I don't
know how to program a FSR rim to choke a cymbal.

The Stereo-input 9&10 is designed for a dual-piezo, like a mesh head from
the DTXtreme or Roland V-Drums or similar Pintech.  Or, two seperate single
trigger pads with a Y cord.

I have heard, however, that even if you were to replace all of the pads on
the system with dual-trigger rubber pads with the intention of using cymbal
chokes, you'd be unhappy, since if Cymbal chokes are enabled, all rim-hits
on drum pads have no variable volumes.  I really can't see why this is
required, as I thought all trigger configurations were unique.  Can anyone
verify this?
