Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

fxsran,

I am assuming you have a DTXPRESSII. I believe (from memory) there  are
three volume knobs on the front of the DtxpressII, overall volume out, click
volume, song volume and aux input volume.  The song volume is adjusted by
the "Accomp Vol" knob on the front of the module. This will
increase/decrease volume of song you are playing too. The choke function is
only available on zones 2, 6 & 7 and you must use a stereo cable to connect
the pad and the pad type needs to be set for a PCY65S and not the PCY65.
Ditto, what Ed said about the "live" and "practice" mode.
Hopes this helps.
