Jim,

I may not be getting exactly what you want, but I remember having my 
best luck setting the pad types to the "DT" options, the trigger 
setup to DT10/20 (which eventually evolved into a user setting), and 
the relevant DIP "attentuation" (a misnomer) switches on the back of 
the module to the high position. Gain, min. velocity, rejection, etc. 
varied with a pad's position on the rack and its desired response. 
The dynamic range of the Pintechs through the DTXpress is not to 
everyone's liking; some people complain that it shortchanges the 
lighter touch. Insertion of 200k pots between the pads and the 
module's inputs may help. Brian LaRue told me that Pintech may 
consider adding a sensitivity adjustment on its pads themselves to 
tame the high gain with Yamaha modules.
