Matching output levels of instruments

I really like the sound of my Yocto. I recently compared it with a Roland TR-8 and luckily my Yocto kicked its ass.
However, some of the instruments are pretty quiet compared to others. Could someone provide a list with the components that can be replaced per instrument to modify output levels? Unfortunately my knowledge of the schematics is lacking.
Cheers.

Dear peristilius,
To match instrument output level you can change summing resistors values.
To increase instrument volume, decrease corresponding resistor value. For example to increase Cowbell volume decrease R8 value to 33Kohm instead of 47kohm

I'm not getting the output voltages on the individual outs of some voices according to the tr-808 servicemanual, is there anything i can do about that?
Also some voices trigger really soft/short if i turn up the accent (snare/toms) what can be the reason for this?

Hey guys,
Do you know what are the common values for the outputs. Mine is almost ready, should check what's going on with cymbal and hats. The rest of the instruments are working properly and the BD sound is sooo gnarly.
But I realized some instruments are sounding louder than others, really think that some of them (SNARE, CLAP...) are sounding quiet.
So, you know what are "common values" for the outputs, to measure them and replace some resistances if needed.
Thanks guys!
