Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Drew,

I've had the same problem and almost didn't but the DTX because of it.
The good news is there is 
a fix  in the brain settings. The bad news is I don't remember it & and
since I'm at work, I can't 
look it up. I recall it having something to do sith switching from
practice mode to live mode.
Look in you manual. or maybe someone on this list knows off hand.
