JK,
I hate to see you hanging. I don't personally use Battery, BFD, or
Cubase, so I can't be of immense help about getting into the guts of
the software. But the fact that your pads are sounding
inconsistently, rather than not at all, seems to indicate that
something may be amiss at the DTXpress end, or in its connection to
the PC. Can you check your MIDI cable and whatever interface accepts
it for the PC? I assume that the pads not working at have the correct
note numbers assigned. Yamaha has always used nonstandard note
numbers for snare and kick. If these two pads aren't working, maybe
adjusting the numbers will help. You haven't overloaded the system,
have you? If you have MIDI merge enabled (or MIDI thru), you could be
cycling information between both components, impairing proper
performance. Maybe adjusting the Dump Interval in the Utility Mode
would also help. Check you trigger settings to make sure that the
pads are picking up hits adequately. These are a few things that come
to mind. Keep us informed.
