Peter, My understanding is, if you make GAIN adjustments for each pad
from the TRIGGER menu, the settings affect all
kits.The downside is, that as each pad is cranked up for sensitivity
you take a greater risk of triggering it when you don't want to. In your
case the snare may start to trigger if the piezo element in your snare
pad picks up unwanted vibes from elsewhere on the rack such as when toms
or hihat pad is struck. You can fix that by setting REJECT and SPC RJCT
on subsequent TRIGGER pages. Higher numbers here allow each pad to ignore
all others when struck, or a specific pad, identified by number,that is
a problem. Example: i have a pad in input 9/10 to trigger a cymbal bell.
I found it triggered when the adjacent tom was struck. Solution: adjust
the specific reject so that 9/10 ignores that tom...plus i discovered that
the cable for 9/10 was strung too close that tom and seemed to be picking
up bad vibes... so i re-routed it.
Worth mentioning...it is not possible to exactly replicate the sensitivity
and micro-dynamics of a real acoustic snare drum with the DTXpress... though
it is pretty good. As Giles suggested, cycle through the various factory
snare sounds and you will find they do vary for sensitivity. It is then
possible to hit the trigger button, scroll through the settings to see
what the manufacturer has set up. This will give you some idea of how to
customize your own snare settings. Have you considered triggering a real
drum, perhaps using a "mesh head" like V-drums ? This could help get the
feel and bounce of an acoustic drum, though no better for actual trigger
sensitivity. You could use almost anyone's Piezo trigger though Yamaha
will suggest their DT10. There are also some home made solutions available:
http://www.logiztix.com� I would not suggest you use the actual Roland
V-drum, as it will only function as a single zone pad (no rim) and that
is a lot to pay for a single zone pad. I am in the midst of buliding some
of my own pads. Email me if you want details...

hi--i have a new dtxpress, and thanks for all
for the info--i am
having a tough time getting the trigger points set--stock, i can't

buzz rolls or get soft hits to register.� can anyone tell
me exactly
how to adjust sensitivity, and save the setting for all drumsets?
do
i have to do each set separately (which i would rather not have
to do)
thanks!
