Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi guy's,

I have an Alesis DM Pro module that I bought 'used' off ebay for like 
$300.00 several months ago, though I've not started using it with my 
ekit yet. One of the main purposes I bought it was to use it as my 
midi playback modules for my Cubase DAW.
What's strange when I hooked the DM Po up was that I got absolutely no 
sounds via my trigger pads! Someone recently had the same issue with 
his on the Yahoo DM Po user's group and fixed that by turning 
on 'something' within the module, which I've not yet tried. I had 
thought that mabe something was wronmg with the module as it didn't 
work right out of the gate like my two Yamaha modules. Apparently I 
hear the Alesis modules need to be set up somewhat...?

I cannot yet comment on the DM Pro as I said, I don't have much 
experience with it yet.

And good luck with you 'magic box'. Have you thought about trying to 
sell plans for it, or a kit for it on ebay???

Steve
