Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I've spent hours now trying to mess with the different snare sounds 
and layering, and none of them sound real enough. I want that tangy 
after sound produced by a steel snare, but I also want that tough, 
loud snare/head, just like a real steel snare drum. What are some of 
your snare set-ups? Layers, volumes, tunning, etc. It would be 
helpful in me finding the sound that is just right

P.S. Right now I am using Layer one at a volume of 127, a tunning of 
0, a reverb of 55, and a decay of -10 (Deep & Dry) and Layer 2 at a 
volume of 50 and a tunning of -1 (Bingy*...not sure on the spelling) 
and it just doesn't seem to have a full enough sound.

I use 
Layer 1: 006 MapleA50 volume 115 tune 0 decay 0 with
Layer 2: 001 Loosy    volume 127 tune c=+1 F=-35 decay = +1

I don't know how I ended up with those tuning fugures!  These are
DTXpress III numbers.

I don't know if it is what you want, but I like it.

My standard snare has a MapleA50 in layer 1 with a shallow cross-
fade to a MapleRim in layer 2. However, I'm not in front of the 
module right now so I can't give you parameter values.

Well, after some time I think I found what I like. Layer one 
is "Rock" and it has a Tune: 0, F: 0, Decay: 0, FC: -10, and volume: 
127. Layer 2 is VtgBras2 and it has a Tune: +1, F: -35, Decay: +15, 
FC: 0, and Volume: 115.
