Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Here's what I have done... I changed my user kit
number to 80-went into voice and copied the ride
setting to pad 9...when I hit pad 9 it sounds like a
ride...the Visulite is plugged into KITI input 1.  I
went into UTILITY Voice here are my settings:
UT MAP N=10A#-2
C=/024
I then went to the KITI and pressed AUTO TRAIN-hit pad
#9 and the numbers blinking were 1-1-3!!!  I tapped
the Visulite (plugged into KITI) and the friggin'
thing sounds like a high pitched bell/ then it sounded
like pad#9's original setting in my user kit...which
was a 3rd tom!!  WHAT the hell am I doing
wrong...also...should I copy this UT MAP Copy from=1
Acoustic kit??
How do I move the cymbal from user kit 80 to the
KITI...and WHY is it flashing a 1-1-3 instead of the
0-2-4 that I assigned pad 9?  Am I doing something
wrong w/ programming the KITI?....Jade
