Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Okay- I was able to assign channels to each pad and also set up a 
Channel Table in Cakewalk.  So now when I play the DTX kit,  pads 1-8 
get recorded on tracks 1-8 respectively on the sequencer.  Works 
great!

AND I can playback the tracks through the DTX brain.  BUT the notes 
sound like piano notes, different pitches corresponding to different 
pads.  I assume that what's happening is that output from Cakewalk is 
playing through the DTX's GM bank, piano voice, different note values. 
So, I gotta change banks...

I gather from reading previous posts that this is going to involve 
sending a Program Change from Cakewalk?  (OR can it be done using 
DTX buttons?)  The Cakewalk manual had a very brief refferance and 
sent me to the (DTXpress) MIDI Implementation Chart.  So, now I've got 
both manuals opened to those pages and uhh, can't see what to do next. 
Can you give me some clues now about how to change banks?

Thanks a lot,
Hooper
