What kind of computer, soundcard, soundcard driver version, and sampler software you are using.
20 Mhz. ? I remember only 16 and 12 Mhz. in my Synthex 2.8 kit.
i have an athlon 64 x2 5200+, with 2 Gb Ram, and im using a generic sound card.
i tried 2 softwares, and they both worked equally.
Cubase with Ezdrummer
Toontrack solo with Ezdrummer
both with diferent kits, (pop rock and drums from hell)
It should be ok if i used 20Mhz crystal according to what it says here:

Check these piezos on the ride input to make sure they're ok
first of all, thanks for writing me back.
im on that right now, i will edit this line as soon as i finish
i want to clarify that the MD's display shows the activity of the input correctly, in every single input pin. the PC is the one that doesn't detect activity (only does it with ride)
i had to download and install "ASIO4ALL_2_9_English" because toontrack needed it to initialize
and sometimes when i hit it lot of times takes a while and sounds like i hitted but later (3 secs)
let me try to explain with a drawing:
piezo --> delay (secs) --> pc (MIDI activity
and sound - PC's MIDI activity indicator, and sound goes instantly together)
hit --> 0.5 sec --> sound
hit1 (0.1 seg) hit2 (0.1 seg) hit3 --> 2 sec --> sound1 (0.1 seg) sound2 (0.1 seg) sound3

crap, i will xD
finally, i wanted to add that i used this firmware for picf18f2550 "pic18f2550usb_midi.hex" from
