Well, I' post the files I put on DIY Edrums.  It was in answer to the
question

"Does anyone know a simple sechmatic (the simpliest please) to make a
passive compressor? My idea is to compress the signal from the piezo
before it enters the module."

My reply:

"I don't think you can make a "passive" compressor, unless you
consider a diode to be passive. I am not familiar with the DM pro, but
I have uploaded an idea for you to consider (Diode compressor) with a
simulated characteristic. Juggling with the resistor values will alter
the amount of compression."

Whilst the module in question was a DM Pro, it may be of use to
someone with a DTXpress, although I am not sure the circuit would be
doing anything that themodule cannot do using the VelCurve selection.
