Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi guys,

I have 2 questions I was hoping you caould help with:

1. How do I layer my pads/ cymbals for bigger sounds? I have read about 
it in a tips section of DTXpressions but don't know how to do it.

2. I am playing with a guitarist - whats the best way for both of us to 
hear each other through headphones - don;t want to blast the neighbours 
out of it! - (one input double output jack adapter perhaps?)

Suggestions and help appreciated.

Thanks,

For layering, when editing a VOICE in the DTXpress, use the Select 
buttons and move to the "V=1" option and change it to "V=2". You can 
now use the Select buttons to go back to the sound options and 
change the second layer voice. Use the page buttons to access the 
Balance and X-Fade functions, which affect which voice is louder 
(Balance) and which voice gets more emphasis based on how hard the 
trigger is hit (X-Fade).

Regarding headphones, I would recommend using an inexpensive mixer 
matched with a headphone amp.

I'm using a Behringer Eurorack UB802 with great results

For multiple headphones, a small amp like this Rolls HA43 should 
work well and allow you to control the volume on each headphone

Hope this helps - Rudy
