dtxpress how to hook up double bass peda and extra cymbal

dtxpress how to hook up double bass peda and extra cymbal

2013-01-13 by drummerone13

I think I need to re do my double bass pedal and add on cymbal. I am getting bleed over from crash cymbals when I hit toms (not a lot of cross or bleed. just enough to make it heard in recording) example when I hit floor tom I am getting ride cymbal # showing up and floor tom has lost the sticking response it once had . I tried changing the tom pads but get same response. I don,t know if i accentely  did something to triggers? I don,t  use them. I just plug headphone out to computer and record. never had a problem till a week ago

As I said before, check the cabling.  A bad earth in the cabling could do something like that.

Things don't usually happen for no reason but the cause may not be what you think but it is worth while trying to remember if you did anything different around the time the problems started.

Did you try a factory reset?

Do the settings stay the same when you turn it off and then back on again?  My thought there is that the internal battery may be past its best as your module is quite old (they probably last around 10 years although the manual says 5 years).  There should be a "battery low" warning when that happens.

There are two trigger settings which should help with your problem - "Rejection" and "Specific rejection".  See page 13 of the reference manual for a more detailed explanation but the "rejection" helps prevent crosstalk from all pads to the pad you are adjusting.  "Specific rejection" is useful where a single, specific pad is causing a problem.  It allows to to increase the rejection of a certain pad - for example your tom affecting your cymbal.
