Billy,

Pull out the manual and read about rejection/specific rejection under 
the trigger heading. These are the settings that deal directly with 
crosstalk. The rejection number is a measure of how much protection 
an individual trigger needs to withstand general vibrations caused by 
hitting other triggers on the rack. Specific rejection helps a pad to 
resist vibrations that originate on a another pad in particular. This 
protection comes in the form of muting the pad for a nano second when 
the module detects an offending event from another trigger at the 
level reflected in the designated number. The higher a trigger's 
rejection number, the more likely it is to remain silent when you 
want it to make a noise. So the rejection numbers should be kept only 
as high as necessary to get the job done. Gain and min. velocity come 
into play as well. If a trigger is set to fire too hot and too 
easily, crosstalk will always be a threat. All of these parameters 
need to be mutually adjusted, and that will take some time to get 
right.
