Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Simple solution,
The problem is in the set-up of the voice, VOICE menu KIT section TYPE on
right of screen.
This is the setting for the number of voices any one pad can have playing at
the same time,
mono - one voice
semi - 3 or 4 voices
poly - limited only by the DTXpress, 32.

Some of the factory settings set these as mono or semi, so that you do not
run out of notes if you have many long samples playing together.  The hi hat
is set to mono because that's how it needs to be, likewise a crash cymbal
could be mono because you only really  get one big hit each time you play
it.  I have most of my pads set to semi, except for snare, ride and bass
which are poly and hi hat which is mono, this works for me, others may have
a different set-up.

Find the setting I have mentioned and your troubles should be over.

There's another thing though I'd like to mention.

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.

could play only one note and the previous was cut playing the next.  Any
setting to change this behaviour?
