I don't know how to set the self rejection to "off"  it goes from 0 
to 9, 0 being the least amount of rejection.  I tried increasing the 
value but it only increases the time before it will allow the pad to 
trigger again.  I'm beginning to think that it is intrinsic to the 
rubber and ribbon switch design.  It doesn't really start self 
rejecting until I've played for about 30 minutes while practicing.  I 
think that the edge may be "setting" a depression into the rubber over 
the course of playing and creating a ribbon always depressed 
situation.  I strike the edge more on the 2 zones which I have set as 
crashes.  If I leave it set up and come back in a day it's gone then 
reappears.  I noticed that during practice that maybe the same thing 
happened to the pad while it was packed up transporting it to the jam 
session where it seemed to start choking right from the start.  Just 
rolling it around in my head.  I tend to get alot more agressive when 
playing with the guys than practicing alone with the headphones.  
Anyone else got any theories?  Similar problems or fixes?  I really 
like the 2 zones, and would hate to downgrade to singles.  From what 
I've read, there is no way to turn off the choke function.
