Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Thanks for your time Zapaxe. 
If I said "Did that" to just about everything you
said, where would that leave us. 
I am not at my DTX module, but to play midi, I have to
set it to External on the MIDI editing screen and then
the rest of the steps. 

Let me be clear. I have initialized, I have followed
pages 42,92,110 and 118 in the manual. Even followed
the MIDI section starting on page 129. I am no
stranger to Midi and the Computer. I am not too savy
with the DTX and what proceedures I have to do from
initialization to have it play in sinq. Currently I am
using my Roland Keyboard or an old AKAI GM sound
module for the drum beats I have programmed and fed
into my DAW (digital work station). I love the tones
the DTX has and would like to use them.

Did I lose you?
