too much gain?

2003-07-30 by jtatsuoka

Hi everyone,
Just got the DTxpress today but I have been lurking for a while.  Has
any one had the problem of medium hits on a non Yamaha pad 
producing 99% velocity?  With the input gain =99 mvel = 0 and placing
 a 20k pot carefully tweaked until 99% is achieved only on the 
hardest hits (about 16k for my roland-clone pad ),  I'm able to get a
near-real-snare response in velocity!  What a difference from the D4 
I've been using.  Unless I'm missing something, (i've only had the
dtspress for a day!) it looks like I will have to build an
attenuation box for all my inputs.
Are all Yamaha pad users getting 99% only on the loudest hits?
