I've had problems with the KP too. They actually sent me another one 
and it took like a month to get here. Since I'm not recording til 
winter, I thought I'd keep using the old KP and try to figure a way 
to "trick" it. One thing you could do (also I have the DTX III) is 
switch taht input attenuation lever on the back, and/or change the 
MVel level (this changes the velocity range). That's what worked for 
me.. I figure it's good enough till you have the time to receive a 
new pad. As for a polarity switch, I'm not sure what that is.. I'd 
be interested in playin' round with it though. Good luck man!
