Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I am having trouble with double triggers in my high hat trigger. I changed the self-rejection as well as the rejection in the trigger menu and for the whole kit as well and can't seem to get back to original configuration. Can someone tell me which setting I need to change to get back to where I started from? I can't remember if in the rejection settings if the "0" is more time between triggers or 1-9 is the delay.

Thanks for any input that you an give.

Thanks for the reply and help ... I tried changing the rejection settings this seems to have solved the problem. I had forgoten about the 4 voices for the HH. I gets confusing at times trying to figure out which trigger or voice setting is causing the problems.

I have been having trouble with double triggers from my high hat ... after doing a factory reset with no resolution to the problem ... I exchanged the pad ... no more doubles ... any way to fix that trigger? Can they come loose inside the pad?

If anyone has found a way to repair I would like to know the fix. Thanks,

Scott

The pads look pretty difficult to get into and it is the last thing 
that I would attempt, try some sensitivity settings.

Prevention is better than cure, the HH and Snare take the most 
beatings so rotate the pads around on a regular basis so they all get 
thier fair share. I do mine twice a month or so.

Hi,
I had a couple of pads go flaky.
Try:
1:
spray wd40 on a 1/4 jack and insert into the pad and move it around.
This cleans the contacts which sometimes oxidize.
2:
disassemble the pad, remove the circuit board, and resolder all
connections. Sometimes hairline fractures occur which are very hard
to see right at the point the through hole connects to the traces. You
may have to 'scratch' the trace to build a small solder bridge.

3:
Replace the piezo sensor with a Radio Shack 273-091 ( about $2 ).

4:
I have seen the pot on the circuit board go bad, again, this can be replaced
at Radio Shack

That's all there is - there's not much to one of these pads.

Thanks for the information ... but if it takes that much to fix the problem I am going to have the pad replaced the kit is only 6 months old ... granted it gets a workout once a week or so ... but the pad shouldn't flake out that soon.
