Can you still buy the Roland foam cones for a retrofit?  M. Friend used to have 
them, but last time I checked, they were no longer available.

You might want to try adjusting the attenuator switch at the back of the module. 
I run with all reject settings at zero and MVEL=1 and GAIN=99 but then I use a 
snare stand, not the rack. On the rack you may need some rejection settings 
other than zero. 


I have also added a small 100k potentiometer that I soldered to the connector in 
the shell to help tame the signal.

With the cylindrical foam the pads can tend to be over-sensitive in the centre. 
I think if you buy or make a cone (something that Roland patented and wouldn't 
let Pintech use even though they allow Pintech to use other aspects of the 
Roland patents) it may improve. I think the cones are more progressive from the 
centre. The other thing that makes a difference, I am told, is a two ply mesh 
head. The Pintech is single ply whereas the Roland heads are double ply.
