Hi Stephane,

Do the ghost notes still work OK when you are playing
the snare by itself?  If so, then the next thing I
will need to look at is some of the snare trigger
settings.  Can you tell me what you have set for the
snare trigger for the Gain, Min. gain, Pad type, Rej,
Self rej and Specific rej?  Also, when you hit the
snare pad as hard as you can, about what level shows
up on the Level Display ( on the screen where you set
the gain - you want to adjust the gain so it shows
about 100% when hit real hard).  Also, what model pad
are you using for your snare?

If it was a bad pad or cable, I would not expect the
soft hits to not work at all, but you could swap the
pad and cable with one of your toms to be sure - these
kits have fooled me before.

I still think this is a trigger setting problem - when
you look at the module from a basic level, it has two
sections - the trigger settings and the voice
settings.  The trigger settings control how the
electronic signals are sensed by the module (which one
was hit, how hard was it hit, what type of pad it is,
that type of thing) - the voice setting determine what
sounds to make when the hit is sensed by the module.
