Hello Mark,

Welcome to the group. I assume that you bought the DTXP2 used. A 
reset shouldn't affect the preset kits at all, but it would delete 
the previous owner's elective kits (49-end) completely. You'd have to 
program your own user kits, and this time download something like 
DTXchange to store them on your PC, just in case you had to reset 
again. The group also has access to a PC text editor for the DTXP2 
that will make life easier for you working with sysex. 

The factory reset might also have removed a previous owner's trigger 
setting for the kick that cut down on its dynamic range. If your 
DTXP2 wasn't a second-hand purchase, then troubleshooting would be 
more complicated. Please advise whether we need to wear our heavy-
duty thinking caps.
