Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

PS...one more thing....I unplugged the ride from the
KITI and plugged it into input 2 on KITI...I am still
getting the tom sound...that WASN'T a high pitched
noise I heard...it was a tom voice.  So my pad 9 that
was my 3rd tom is now on my RIDE...I can't change the
note number on the KITI...it keeps flashing 1-1-3
instead of 0-2-4 or 0-2-6....It's gotta be something I
am doing wrong with the DTX.

Here are my values for the UT Mode
UT SEQ SETUP
MIDI Control=off
Count Switch=off
Sync Mode=auto
Use Tempo=song
Click Mode=manual
UT MAP N=65F...C/026 Rider3
UT MAP N=65F3...Vol=105  Pan=C
UT MAP N=65F 3...Tune C=-5  F=0
The rest I don't think really matter until we get to 
UT MAP Copy From=1(flashing) Acoustic Kit

Could ANY of these settings be at fault?
I COPIED the Rider3 voices to pad 9 (is really my 3rd
tom)...but as stated earlier...when I hit pad 9 the
data going into the KITI is not the Rider 3 cymbal
assigned to pad 9...I MUST have screwed something
up!!?........WISH I could GET THIS!!!....Jade
