It doesn't matter which input on the kiti you're using; the midi 
note number gets transferred to the kiti's active input, which you 
select either by hitting the pad connected to it or scrolling 
through the inputs (the green lights) manually on the kiti keyboard.
 
> UT MAP N=65F...C/026 Rider3

This is the only setting that matters for getting the midi note 
information from the DTX to the kiti. Midi note number 65 also has 
to show up as the note number for pad 9 when you check in the voice 
menu of kit 80. If so, save kit 80 with the button on the front of 
the module. If not, don't do anything else until you make these 
numbers match; if 65 turns out not to work, try other numbers. Save 
kit 80 when you've arrived at a viable note number for C/026 on 
input 9, just to make sure that you don't change anything by 
mistake. (Acoustic kit 1 is irrelevant to what we're doing. If you 
set up the note number for the ride on the kiti correctly, you'll 
get the same ride sound for the visulite, no matter what kit on the 
DTX you happen to be using).
 
To keep it simple on the kiti, disconnect everything but the 
visulite bow. Hit the visulite to select its input. Now, 
press "AUTO" to make "midi note number" the active parameter; three 
red lights corresponding to a midi note number (probably not yours) 
should be blinking consecutively, with a pause between each complete 
cycle. Making sure that your foot is not on either the hi hat 
controller or the kick pedal, hit pad 9, C/026, in kit 80; don't 
accidentally hit any other pad afterward. After recognizing the 
default channel 10, the kiti red lights should start to register 0-6-
5, or whatever your final midi note number turned out to be in the 
DTX utility menu. If the correct number flashes, you can continue 
to "Gain Auto Train" on p. 34 to adjust the triggers. If it doesn't, 
it's back to the DTX to figure out why.
