Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

It has been my experience that all stereo pads want to self-choke when 
the rim is played like a ride. I have had no troubles at all when used 
as a crash PCY80S and TP80S. It chokes when I want it to. But if you 
try to ride the rim... They are all gonna choke.I think its just the 
nature of the switch/electronics relationship.
The rolands (PD7 and 9)behave a little differently, but no improvement 
( but they are not any worse...just "different."
If you are using it for a ride, and don't need the choke, you can 
change the pad type so it won't choke at all.
