Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I see someone is helping you with the other issues, so I'll try to 
help you with the ride/choke thing. You need to go into trigger setup 
and set the pad type to something that is not a cymbal. Try TP Tom or 
TP Snare, or even one of the non-cymbal Misc. settings.
See page 36 of the manual.
