The problem is my tp65s snare pad, its 3-zone trigger does not work, (no sidestick & rimshot) -used a stereo jack for it Wed, 03 Feb 2010 20:36:56 GMT keith1200rs http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/DTXpress/message/14036 http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/DTXpress/message/14036 Chris, My laptop is a 1.66GHZ Centrino Duo T2300 with 500MB RAM.
