Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Thanks for the response Gregg.

I've tried adjusting the volume with the Accomp Vol knob however 
this only seems to affect the musical accompaniment part of the song 
and not the drum part. The drum part can only be adjusted using the 
power/vol knob. If I adjust this so that the drum part of the song 
is at an acceptable level then the volume from the pads is too low. 

It's almost as if there is a missing volume control somewhere. 
Frustrating to say the least!
