Thanks for the great feedback, guys - it's good to be back! After reading your comments, I came a little closer to understanding the problem. It IS related to the SelfRej, Rej and SPCRej settings but I'm damned if I can figure it out. Previously I've always used the preset trigger "1 Medium", but after noticing the dropouts, I decided to fiddle about with a custom setup. Since I gig a lot, I decided to change MVel and Gain, so I could play louder without having to hit the pads as hard. I also changed my SelfRej & Rej settings as low as possible for buzz rolls etc. So far so good. Then I noticed that the dropouts had been completely cured. Unfortunately now I was getting crosstalk between pads (mostly toms 1 & 2).... The problem seems related to how hard or soft I hit the pads and the Rej setting. With the "1-Medium" trigger setup (in fact, ALL the preset triggers), dropouts galore. With my custom setup - no dropouts but crosstalk. I just want to find the perfect balance between being able to play softly and quickly without losing triggers AND without triggering other pads. Here are the settings for my custom trigger setup. Maybe someone can give me some suggestions: All pads are Gain=99, MVel=50, SelfRej=2, Rej=1 (1)Kick - SPRej=1 frm=6&7 (2)Snare - SPRej=1 frm=8 (3)Tom1 - SPRej=9 frm=6&7 (4)Tom2 - SPRej=9 frm=6&7 (5)Tom3 - SPRej=9 frm=6&7 (6)Ride - SPRej=5 frm=4 (7)Crash - SPRej=9 frm=4 (8)HiHat - SPRej=1 frm=2 NB. If I try specifying 'frm' as 3 and 4 (to stop crosstalk on the 1st two toms), the bloody dropouts come back again!
