Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hmmm, I seem to remember thinking the same thing when I first got my 
Dtxpress Mk1 4 years ago.
The 'pre-programmed' drums trigger at maximum it always seemed to me 
and no matter how hard you hit the pads you don't seem to quite 
reach the same level.  You can play about with the 
triggering/sensitivity for the pads and check if the master kit 
volume is at 127, but unless something has markedly changed for the 
newer versions then it comes down to balancing the volume levels.
I've always found as well that some sounds are much 'bigger' than 
others - also layering the toms with 2 voices for example produces a 
much better output with more oomph.  I use 2 voices on every pad for 
this reason.
The provided songs can't be edited or copied to the user area for 
editing as far as I know (?) - so you can't change the 'Repeat=off' 
parameter.

Hope that's some help.

regards,
William
