Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi Guys, I seems to be having exactly the same drama with mine.  My 
Snare is a TP80S.  I bought the kit 2nd hand and have always had this 
problem with it.  Sometimes it works sweet, sometimes not.  
I will try the mulitmeter exercise this w/end and see how that goes.
I've already done the whole factory reset to no avail.

Cheers,
         Glenn.
