Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi Scott,

Thanks. Let me try changing the type tonight ... but my question now 
is, if pcy80s and tp80s have the same circuit, how come my tp80s, 
when plugged into Input 6 (I tried 7 also, same thing happened), its 
rim does not sound at all but chokes sound from its pad? Putting 
pcy80s to Input 6, though choking at least the rim makes sound.

The situation's getting annoying ... sorry, guys.

I appreciate all your words. Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Lychee
