Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

At the moment I'm using a PM-16 to add additonal pads to my setup.  
Obviously this means I have some pads connected to my module and 
some pads connected to my PM-16 all mixed up around the kit.  If I 
remember correctly there is nothing that can be done for cross talk 
or double triggers when using two different sources for triggers 
right?  Here is my problem: When I hit my second tom (which is 
connected to my module) I get a slight and quiet sound from my crash 
cymbal (which is connected to my PM-16.)  I can't recall, but theres 
hardly anything you can do for this besides get seperate arms or 
seperate the pads right?  And just for good measure, let me go over 
some definations.

Double Triggers occur when one pad is hit but another pad makes a 
sound as well correct?  Which would be my current problem with two 
different trigger sources.  

Cross Talk occurs when you hit your hi-hat and snare and the hi-hat 
doesn't make a sound right?

Thanks for the lesson,

Crosstalk is when you strike one pad, and another pad also triggers. 
This is ussually from the vibration thru the rack.
Double triggers occur when one pad is struck, and its own vibration 
causes it to trigger again. This is hardly a problem with rubber pads, 
but was hell when triggering acoustic drums.
Your pm-16/dtxpress problem is crosstalk. Moving pad attachment points 
may help. I Think it will always be a potential problem when using two 
modules or a trigger interface.

UN.H-
Try hooking the cymbal and tom to the same module....I
had this same problem, and I put them on same mod. and
was able to remedy the crosstalk.
Let me know how it works out.

Jade, I was thinking about that and then I would actually be able to 
mess with rejection settings if need be.  I'll try it out!  I'm 
trying to keep things organized as far as what is plugged into what 
but thats a hard task with the way the dtxpress behaves sometimes 
huh!
