Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I recently bought a To-Host serial lead for my DTXExpress 2,I 
installed the drivers for it from the Yamaha web site,the lead works 
fine but Im a bit annoyed with the amount of digital noise it gives 
off whilst monitoring the DTXpress through my mixer,as soon as I 
unplug the lead from the back of my DTXpress,the noise has 
gone,whilst recoring and playback in Cakewalk Sonar the digital 
noise reduces to a very minimal amount,I just wanted to know has 
anyone else had this problem?.

What is the best and safest way to dump kits to DTXchange I have 
tried it but its not saving my kits properly.

Also has anyone managed to program some really good Hi-Hats for the 
DTXpress,I must admit that the factory presets for the Hi Hats are a 
bit sad to say the least,the decay times are far too high,I have 
managed to program a few layered Hi-Hats and I must admit they are 
the best ones I have heard yet,they do seem to be very life like,I 
also think that when you have dual layered a complete kit,it does 
change from being drab (lets face it the presets kits are not that 
brilliant are they?)to very,very impressive and very 
playable,everything seems to come to life.Very natural.NICE!!!!!.
