Along similar lines, I recently purchased a Pintech CK-V to replace my
(again-) failed KP60. What I would characterize as a "light tap" already
registers at 99%. When I get some time, I will try building some sort of
signal attenuator as suggested.

I'm a little concerned about potentially having to do this for every
component I buy from other manufacturers. Is it safe to assume that
all non-Yamaha pad/triggers will run "hot" on the DTXpress modules?
Any contrary experiences?
