Mark,

I think OGD is milking the cows and feeding the chickens this 
morning. 1. Gain is the parameter that shows up in percentage. 
Minimum velocity is just a straight numerical setting. Once you're in 
the trigger menu for the hi hat, adjust gain to read 40%. But always 
feel free to experiment if it doesn't suit you. 2. The controller can 
be used as a kick but only in input 1, I think; set it up under pad 
type in the trigger menu. You still need a stereo cable. Maybe you 
can split the kick input and get a double bass that way. If you try 
it, let me know whether it works. OGD's tried nearly everything with 
the Yamaha equipment, so he may know. Congratulations on the 120S.
