Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Boy, this is getting good. Those settings for the hh and ride may 
prove invaluable. I may have breached ebay etiquette by asking the 
seller of the hh and snare by email who exactly at Hart confirmed 
the compatibility problem. My ride is going through the DTXPU (at 
least until my midiKITI returns from the hospital). But Walt uses 
the DTXTU, and he can't get his ride to work satisfactorily either. 
My problem isn't crosstalk but just getting the thing to make enough 
noise and trigger consistently. I'm pretty patient, but a month of 
tweaking is enough for me. The Zenbal, for instance, was up and 
running immediately, with cosmetic tweaking along the way, which is 
only to be expected.
