William is right, I think. If maxing the volume of the kit at 127 
near the end of the Voice Edit Mode doesn't get the levels up 
sufficiently, you  might have take other measures. If getting the 
levels relatively matched is more important than getting loud per se, 
you could simply reduce the volume of songs until they match the 
volume of the kit. But if your headphones aren't able to shut out 
extraneous noise at that volume, you might consider getting a 
headphone amp, which would allow you to exceed the capacity of the 
little one in the DTXP. You don't have to spend a lot of money (in 
fact, I have a little Rolls headphone amp, which increases volume by 
20 db, lying around; contact me privately if you're interested).

If I'm not mistaken, some of the programmed song material repeats, 
and some of it stops dead. However, there is a song copy function. 
You can find it in the Song Job Mode.
