Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Ed,
I agree. It seems to be a limitation of the module, and no adjustments 
can make it go away. As for other modules, I have no experience, 
except long ago with a DM5.But I was triggering acoustics, and I don't 
remember its characteristics. But it is the module. I have absolutely 
no beef with the AX14S.
