Re: Yamaha dtxpress humming low sound in headphones and...
Likely a filter capacitor in power supply is failing if it has started doing this. SOMETIMES devices have a very small amount of hum normally. Also sometimes unbalanced instrument cables can pick up hum.

If you leave an input open they MAY cross couple... try plugging a set of headphones into the cymbal input jack... this will ground the cymbal input... then see if you still get the cymbal sound... IF you STILL get the sound, then the multiplexor that scans the input has a problem and you need to take it for repair. Repair on the surface mount boards is not a DIY without proper tools and skills. If the grounding stops the cross coupling, then you MAY have a problem with the cymbal or its cable.
You should immediately quarantine what you plugged in and compare it to the correct one.
IF you put too low aq voltage of the CORRECT polarity nothing should have happened.
If you put backwards polarity of any voltage the regulator is probably fried internally and possibly an input bypass cap. Also if you put an AC adapter and it wants a DC the same destruction could happen.
if you put too high a voltage, possibly the power input cap may be bad.
It appears that the correct supply is the PA3C which is a 12 volt, 700ma with positive on the center pin.
If you have a sampler, you could midi out of the DTX brain into the midi in of the sampler to trigger the sounds. If not ,try downloading KORE2 from Native Instruments onto your computer and triggering it using the above mentioned method . Midi out from your brain to Midi in on your computer. Hope this helps.
You have to discover the receive channel for the dtxpress. Try downloading Midiox which is a freeware app that actively displays everything that is happening midiwise in real time.
Any pro-audio interface with a midi input would do the trick. There are numerous products out there that offer this. You can get a simple usb midi interface, and connect the Yamaha up with a midi cable running from the midi out of the drum module to the nidi in of the interface.
