\ufffdTrigger menu- increase the gain and set self reject to a lower number if light hits are not triggering
\ufffdVoice menu: up the volume setting, though this will reduce overall dynamic range.
\ufffdBack Panel: inputs 1-6 have dipswitch settings for sensitivity. Try "H"(high) for the ride cymbal.
You can keep the tracks separate by employing a direct MIDI connection, rather than recording the analog stereo outputs.
Finally, the ever present headphone volume thing:
\ufffd closed cans are preferred for isolation (can't hear sticks on pads)
but not for fidelity...
\ufffd lower impedance phones will offer a bit more gain. Sensitivity
( shown as "dB/mW") indicates how loud they will be in measurement terms...
look for low 90's and up.
\ufffd a mixer will simply substitute another budget headphone amp for the
one onboard...try before you buy
\ufffd try running the DTXpress line outputs to your hifi and using your
amplifier's headphone amp. You can run your "rec out" of your hifi into
"aux in" of the orange box, to mix in tunes to play along with. ( CAUTION:
hifi speakers are at risk, should you put drums through them. Most aren't
built for pro monitoring so take it easy, even with headphones...be nice
to your ears)
Welcome ...and have fun!

And wow... it's great. Better than I even expected after trying it in
the store.I've got a couple of problems with it however. You guessed it -
the ride cymbal and headphone volume. I'm still catching up with
the posts in this group (been through about 150)... I know you've
probably answered this many times, but is there some kind of fix
for this? I've read about tweaking the screw underneath, and
about hitting it on the Yamaha logo, but I'm wondering if a better
solution has been found. I doubt there is a fix for the headphone
volume, so I'll resign myself to getting a cheap mixer.Oh - another question I have is whether this kit will allow you to
record to Protools or Logic keeping the tracks seperated, rather
than dumping kick, snare, hi-hat etc. all on one stereo track.Anyways, thank god I found you guys. This group has been an
incredible help.Off to catch up on the rest of the posts!
