Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi All,

I live in the UK and have had a DTXpress III for about 18 months -
just home use for fun. Never had a problem until now and it's a weird
one:

My hihat registers closed or open - foot on the pedal and hit pad =
closed sound; hit pad with no foot on pedal and open cymbal sound. But
when I try to use the hihat pedal on its own, I get no sound at all.
Well, that's not entirely true: if I depress the pedal lightly, I get
the faintest of sounds, but then nothing more on successive beats.

I tried a factory reset, but no change. The rest of the pads are
working fine. Help! Any ideas?

Thanks for any advice.

I was having a different but equally weird problem with my kick trigger. It turned out to be the lead. If you haven't already swapped it out, try it. You never know...

Thanks Joe! Yep, you're right - it was the lead. Stupid of me not to try it before posting...

Thanks again
