Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I finally got the pintech pads set up on the rack (the sprit rack is 
not very good for allowing positioning of drums... anyway)The drum 
settings I think I have tweaked enough to work (time will tell) but I 
will difenatlly have to patch in a poteniometer for the snare. It is 
just to hot. I have the dip switches on the rear flipped up. Up seems 
to hot....but down seems not enough, I have the gain for that pad set 
at zero.   I still need to get the hihat pedal to work. Someone 
suggested that I need to change the polarity. Can I do this with out 
buying an adapter?  I tried using a cable and swithed the tip and 
sleeve connections. Is that what needs to be done? Because it didn't 
work.
