Yamaha DTXplorer

These are the DTXplorer's running through midi to my Axiom 61 and from there to my computer, into Ableton Live, where I triggered them with Addictive Drums.

I did this by using eDrum Midi Mapper and LoopBe1.

hi i have the same set up as you. so do u just plug the dtxplorer to your ableton using the midi outs? and then ableton will read this as a new midi drum rack so you can add your own drum sounds so each pad??? please reply

[kerodean]

@rawfflecakes essentially yes, also software like Addictive Drums and Superior Drummer have preset midimaps for many electronic drumkits :)

[rawfflecakes]

@kerodean cool but unfortunately im not familiar with addictice ddrums. is it like a plug in you can use on ableton or is it a seperate program all together?

[kerodean]

@rawfflecakes It's a VSTi plugin. Google it :)

when you say unplugged are you talking from the midi ? or without any power.I want to know how loud it sounds with no power.I live in an apt and don't want to piss of my neighbors.

@1966MBrooks Yeah I mean how it sounds to people not wearing the headphones.

IM GETTING MINE THIS WEEK! :DDDDDD

@DTXPLORER52 Audacity doesnt support midi recording, you'd need to use something like "fruity loops" "cakewalk" "protools" "garage band" or "ableton live"

Thank you for showing how it sounds unplugged. I was wondering how loud they sound being hit. No louder than a practice pad.

@SamKillickProduction Like any new kit it takes some getting used to, once you do you'll be fine. I don't believe you can add extra pads to this particular kit as it is the lowest end of the range. It is good for rudiments sure. And as I said you might miss the pads at first but you get used to it after you get it set up correctly and get used to it.

I'm looking to get an electric kit instead of my pearl export. I've got a few queries?

1. Is still as good to practice snare rudiments on? 2. I've currently got 4 snares on my pearl export, can you add pads to the YAMAHA DTXplorer? (Crashes, Splashes, Toms etc.) 3. Do you often miss the pads? (may sound silly, but i did have a quick go on one of these at a rock school grade, and i couldn't really get on with it, do you get used to it?)

Thanks in advancee.
