I am an E-drummer with the older Yamaha DTX900 module that has 3 triggers on each of 12 inputs (incl toms, snare, cyms, “spare pads”) so 36 – plus the Kick, Hi-hat triggers (5) and an additional single input so I have 43 triggers on my edrums with following pads – kick, RHH135 Hats, 5 x 3 zone “toms”, 2 x 3 zone snares, 5 x 3 zone “cymbals” plus a mono pad I use as a cowbell. Great setup for a large kit and I use tom rim triggers for octobans/rototoms.
I manually map any new SDX kit to match my module outputs and save this under my own “project” and Kit – see attached screen shot where I have mapped a higher tuned tom to C2 and F#4 (rimshot) to match my module output notes for these pads. Only have to do it once for each new SDX and I can then swap out instruments (and user instruments) as needed – also across SDX libraries for additional sounds.
Hope this helps. cheers, Andrew
