Simultaneous hits on Yamaha DTXPress IV

[Deltones]

If you own, or did own the Yamaha DTXPress IV, did you get trigger cancellations when you hit 2 pads at the same time? It's a pretty annoying phenomenon and I wonder if you guys found a solution for that if it happened to you also on your kit.

Hmm... Never used this kit, but this problem is common on the Roland TD9's apparently. I had this problem on my TD9, and fixed it by simply updating the firmware. Maybe this would work for your kit?

The firmware can't be updated on the IV module. In any case, I may have found the problem last night: On the IV, I use the SP Dyna trigger preset because it's more sensitive to soft hits. However, its rejection parameters were set up so that 2 hits on 2 pads at the same time were considered leakage and stopped from firing. I tried another trigger preset, tested its response with two hits and if it worked, I just imported the rejection parameter values to the SP Dyna preset and copied it as a user preset. The response is much improved, but it remains to be seen if I'll get misfire now.

I have that problem with some of the user kits on my Dtxplorer, it's absolutely terrible.
