Brian,

I know everyone here truly appreciates you being a member here. I just wish
we could get a Yamaha rep. to jump on board here and speak up. Clearly the
group is based originally on the Dtxpress, but I feel everybody is welcome
here that wishes to contribute. 

I am curious about something, since Pintech does not make it's own sound
module (if it's not consider "Company confidential").
I have two questions:

Does Pintech have all the currently available sound modules in their R&D in
order to test compatibility issues with their trigger pads?
(For example the Roland TD-6,TD-8,TD-10, Alesis Dm-5,Dmpro, Yamaha
DTXtreme/dtxpress series, etc.) Or do you just design around achieving
specific output from the pad that is known to work with most modules?

And second, In the past has Pintech ever thought about producing their own
sound module (I know you can't discuss current or future plans)? 

OGD

OGD,

Brian may not see your questions for a while, but I can tell you that 
Pintech references all the current Roland and Alesis modules in their 
2003 manual. The only Yamaha module for which Pintech has settings is 
the DTXv2.0, although Brian told me months ago that he had plans to 
include the DTXpress as well. I'd love to know if Pintech has ever 
considered teaming up on a module design or initiating one of their 
own.

Here's a thought. If Pintech did enter the marketplace with a module, 
assuming that the bean counters thought it a good plan, would they 
thereby lose their licensing agreement with Roland? You'll notice 
that Pintech endorses Roland modules on the website. They may well be 
sincere in doing so, though they also may be obligated.

Ed, 

If they do, this is certainly a good place to get a "wish-list" of features
to include in the module!

1. Control port for fan. Fan controlled by tempo and trigger 
force ... as they go up, so does the fan speed.

2. Serial port for display messages. "Your dinner is on the 
table," "Please take out the trash," "I'm leaving you," that sort of 
thing.

You forgot these menu options:

3. "Neil Peart Mode=ON"-- No matter how bad/what you play, its all comes
out sounding like you have a Phd in Music Theory.

4. "Require Tweeking=OFF"-- Set this so all settings work without any
adjustments.

5. "Acoustic Ridicule=OFF"-- Set this so drummers with massive acoustic
sets don't make fun of you.

6. "Chick Magnet=ALL KITS"-- Set this so you don't have to dload/setup a
custom kit, they'll ALL work this way!

:D

OK, so I stole the idea for the last one.... ;)
