Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Guys,
I just picked up a Pintech TC-18 and it's not playing nice with my 
DTExpress brain.  It sounds like it has a noise gate on it.  The only 
sound it makes is a ping(if you want to call it that) and then any 
reverb that the sound is set up for.  I already have two TC-16s and 
they work great.  I copied the crash trigger setup to the ride and 
that didn't work.  Does any one have any ideas?
Duane

Hi Duane,

I for one had a lot of trouble with the TC series. As a ride, the 
one I had kept choking itself. Even as a crash, it would cut itself 
short. The TCs are eminently affordable, and they look pretty good. 
Unfortunately, though, they aren't Zenbals. Maybe someone has other 
ideas, but I doubt that anything in the module will make an enormous 
improvement. The design just isn't all that reliable. There's a 
chance that the store you bought it from will take it back and let 
you have another one. With a little luck, a new one might perform 
satisfactorily.

Ed,
I guess I should have read your post from last April before I bought 
the Tc-18 to use as a ride.  It does work great as a crash.  That's 
what I get for buying with my eyes and not doing my homework.
Thanks for the input!
