Quote from: FirstMM on June 28, 2011, 02:58:17 PM Hi Guys, I would never play edrums with any stick larger then a 5A. Remember the sticks you use and how hard you play can effect your crosstalk. Maybe even stuffing your rack tubes with foam. If you are still getting cross talk at this point, you should start looking at other options such as a snare stand and a stand for your hi-hat. At this point your cross talk should be 95% or more gone. Meaning if you hit Tom#1 and the crash sounds just a little adjust the xtalk send of Tom#1. If you are at 5 and still get a little cross talk, then go and adjust the xtalk send for the trigger that you are hitting. Again, don't go past xtalk settings of 4 or 5. Go to the crash trigger settings and adjust the xtalk receive from there. Meaning, if you hit tom#1 and hear a crash sound. You can try adjusting the Xtalk receive first on all the trigger you hear as cross talk, but make sure you are on that trigger.

This portions is a little bit of trial and error. Anymore than that will cause drop out issues. You should never go above a setting of 4 or 5. Again, use these settings very sparingly. Now we can go in and adjust the Xtalk Send and Receive at each trigger. At this point you should have 80-90% of the cross talk between adjacent zone resolved. If you hit the head (or rim) of a trigger and you hear cross talk to the rim (or head) of the same trigger, raise the value up as little as possible to eliminate most (may not be 100% yet) of the cross talk.
Only focus on one dual zone trigger at a time here. This setting only works for adjacent zone (i.e. This is the cross talk between adjacent zone (or the two zones in one input). Next we want to focus on ZoneTalk settings. You will still hear cross talk between triggers, but you should notice that is has been diminished. Adjusting nothing but Threshold settings, go through each trigger adjusting the threshold up as far as you can live with.
To start, make sure you have your cross talk settings on all triggers set to zero. If that doesn't get you where you want to be, you will need to adjust settings by hand. See page 2 "RESETTING THE MODULE TO FACTORY DEFAULTS" From there I would upload the latest firmware from Alesis in to your DM10 module. Please feel free to share your techniques for adjusting xtalk on your kit.

I would like this topic to be techniques on how to get the best xtalk results out of your Alesis DM10. There is a lot of new users to edrums trying to figure out how to set Xtalk (crosstalk) settings on their DM10 modules.
