Re: Need Help for use with Ddrum trigger on DTXpress

2003-02-22 by liberatusvirus <liberatusvirus@yahoo.com>

Yes, the the hits aren't registering. If you've adjusted the 
module's settings correctly, the source of the problem would seem to 
be the drum, not the module. I don't have any experience with ddrum 
triggers, so I can't say for sure, but I suspect they should work 
fine with the Yamaha electronics. Have you tried changing the 
trigger's position on the drum, or swapping that particular trigger 
with another one?
