I have the KP65 and I'm just using one of the mono plugs.  Actually, 
to be a little more specific, I only get those two problems when I'm 
playing along with one of the preset songs.  Could it be that the 
dtxpress is trying to process too many things at once during certain 
parts of the songs combined with my playing on top of them?  The 
cymbals don't choke out early and the kick is consistently as loud 
as it should be when I'm playing normally(not with a preset song).  
Any ideas?  Thanks a bunch.

Adam
