Just a quick note in case some of you haven't run into this before... I was playing a demo of my DTXPressII for a friend recently and had gotten to the Mystery kit. I noticed that the two tom sounds weren't playing when the pads were struck. The "wandering" muted trumpet sound and minor chord changes were just.... gone. So, I switched kits, and the pads work fine on other kits! A "Mystery" mystery, if you will. :) When in the Mystery kit, I noticed the pad impact indicators were jumping up just as they are supposed to when I strike the pads, and all other pads seemed to work, but the two middle pads would make no sound. After my friend left, I spent about an hour reading the manual and playing with settings and even did a couple of factory resets. Unfortunately, I still was without any sound from those pads! So, what was the solution? I won't keep you in suspense anymore... The *accompaniment* volume was all the way down!!! :D Arg. So simple yet tripped me up completely for over an hour! So, if you notice a mysterious hole in your mystery kit (or other kits that rely on the General MIDI instruments) make sure your accompaniment volume hasn't been zeroed out! :) Vern -- Vern Graner CNE/CNA/SSE | "If the network is down, then you're Senior Systems Engineer | obviously incompetent so why are we Texas Information Services | paying you?
