Hallo there, I'm a Belgian guy owning the DTXpress for about 6 months now and following this group for 4 months. Currently I'm struggeling a bit with the MIDI stuff but I'll chew on it for some more time and turn to you later on. There's another thing though I'd like to mention. You all know the factory settings have a very short decay on all the sounds, making the tiny and flat. Putting a longer decay on the hihat gives you a much nicer and controlable sound. Maybe there's a reason for the short decay. When you play a sound that sounds for some time (ough, something wrong about the choice of words), a tom or cymbal, you'll notice that once hitting it hard, followed shortely by a soft hit, the firrst sound is cut. Quit an unrealistic reaction compared to an acoustic kit (but we don't compare an electronic kit to an acoustic one, do we?) but also very anoying if you have some crosstalk between different pads and on sound is suddely cut when hitting an onther pad, resulting in a very soft sound and thus cutting the original sound. Anybody gets what I mean? It's abit like in the old synth days where you could play only one note and the previous was cut playing the next. Any setting to change this behaviour? Greetings, Yves
