Drum Kit Backup & Memory Battery Replacement
2001-01-20 by johnlynnheeley@aol.com
I have been using a Yamaha DTX Pro V2.0 (via a CD Player & headphones only) for the past 2 years. It's for home use only and I live in the UK. I think it's great (so do the neighbours!). Reading the "'phone book" size instructions, the battery that maintains the memory, only lasts for about 2 years, so I am getting anxious. 1) I don't want to loose the drum kits that I have painstakingly built up. Can I back up to a PC? I have an up to date computer, complete with a Sound Blaster Live 1024, (which I don't know how to work), and I'm afraid I don't understand Midi either (but I am willing to learn if necessary) 2) I need to know how I get the battery replaced. Can I do it myself? Or can I get it done (cheaply) in the UK ? Can anybody HELP? Please. I wrote to Yamaha in the UK but havn't had a reply.(if you are listening Yamaha - Shame on you!.......if you are not listening - you should be!). Please be specific if you can, (step by step instructions would be great) as I am not very technical, but still enjoy drumming after all these years! By the way, what's the difference between the DTXpress and the DTX Pro ? Thanks Born Again Drummer
