Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

ive had the dtx III special for almost a full year now but im still
having problems with the triggering sometimes when it missis beats and
it just throws me off .. ive posted this before and one guy told me to
check my cables to all my triggers and all of them proved fine . so if
anyone knows anything about triggers missing beats it would be helpful
.. thanks in advance

Missing beats is I think often the self rejection parameter, but it
can also be the specific rejection parameter.  I would suggest you
create a new trigger setup and take the self rejection and specific
rejection parameter setting down to zero for the pads you are having
problems with.  The look for cross triggering and increase the
specific rejection to eliminate that.  Then look for double triggering
(if any - I haven't seen it much) and increase the self rejection to
eliminate that.

I find it is worse to miss a beat than to have a small amount of cross
triggering.

Re-arranging the kit can help - e.g. move where you mount the hi-hat,
if that is your problem pad.

What pads cause the problems?

its mainly my bass and hi hat sumtimes but mostly the bass

Do you Yahoo!?
Get on board. You're invited to try the new Yahoo! Mail.

I had this problem with my bass pad missing beats.
 
I have a DTXPress II but I think the kick pad is the same?
 
I thought it was me - hitting too hard.  I listened to some of the  posters' 
comments on here and altered the parameters (can't remember which ones  - but 
it was pretty straightforward using the advanced manual).
 
That seemed to do it.  It's not done it since so I'm well  pleased.
 
It is VERY infuriating when it misses beats - especially when you play  live!
 
All the best.
