Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

hi ed
i have gotten the edge of the cymbal to trigger now... but only if i 
grab it with my hand... but still no sound no matter what voice i 
choose. and if i should trigger the edge with a stick i have to hit 
hard as hell. 

The midddle of the cymbal triggers a little to hard too i have to 
hit hard to get a sound. the plan was to use this cymbal as a ride 
with bell.

I would really like to get some info about your settings for the 
cymbal.

Have you sold your cy-6 yet ? i missed that post. well i live 
overseas so i guess the shipment will cost to much anyway.

thanks

Andreas
