Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I'm not sure that I understand this one. Is the KP65 the functional 
equivalent of the KP80S, the higher-end tower in the once Yamaha 
line? That would be news to me. The KP80S had a standard output to 
the module but also an input with either a mix mode, which allowed a 
second pad to be connected to the same input(input 1), or an 
independent mode, which allowed an entirely additional connection to 
input 9/10 or any other free input. If this is an accurate 
description of your setup, which free input are you trying to engage 
from the tower and how? 

I'm not sure that I'm reading the problem correctly, but the voice 
of the new pad going into the tower's input would not be assigned to 
the rim of input 1 within the module (a second pad cannot interrupt 
the integrity of input 1's rim and body). The tower's input signal 
would travel to a wholly independent input within the module, like 
9/10. Thus, your test of input 1's body and rim is irrelevant. Check 
your tower's input cable to make sure that it can carry a signal. If 
it can, then check your programming of its pad. Do you have it going 
to the right place? Let me know the details of how this programming 
works; I'm not familiar with it.
