A lot of crosstalk is definitely a drag, but a little crosstalk left 
over after a bit of tinkering ain't so bad. I actually like the small 
amount of crosstalk that I get on my ddrum module from the pads 
connected to my Yamaha. It actually sounds cool, and entirely 
realistic in an acoustic sense. I could probably eliminate it 
further, but I don't really care to. But then again, that's ddrum for 
you. Incidentally, I don't get any crosstalk on the pads connected to 
the Yamaha, and they are spread all over my rack. The main reason is 
that I can keep the gain and min. velocity relatively low because 
they are all cymbal voices that I never strike more than once at a 
time, and usually very hard.
