Jesper,

What is a K2-X? Internet searches turn up nothing. Is it digital?

I'd be surprised if it is analog. Analog circuits need to be tuned 
to specific ranges for best results. Of course a computer can run 
whatever program on whatever channel you want. But that's no longer 
an analog drum kit. (and I'm not getting into whether one is better 
or not. I just want to stay with analog voices for what I'm working 
on. Digital for control is great.
