Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi Stephane,

Did you try lowering the self-rejection number? That's the obvious 
villain if you can't get the cymbal to work for a couple of seconds 
after you hit it. You could also try raising the gain and lowering 
the min. velocity. 

Your recent message said something about the snare, rather than the 
cymbal, as the pad that mutes. If it's the snare that won't work 
after you hit the cymbal, then the specific rejection of the cymbal 
from the snare is set too high; the snare has no room to operate 
when both are hit together. Also, you didn't, by any chance, mess 
with the gate time of the input while you were toying with MIDI, did 
you? If I'm missing the point again, do you want to try sending me a 
new message in simple French at my Yahoo address? I can use the 
practice, though I can't guarantee the results.

Ed
