Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I figured I'd post this in case anyone else goes though the midi 
nightmare that I did. I bought the Midisport Uno USB midi adapter 
from Guitar Center and was all excited for it to work with BFD. No 
dice. I spent hours and hours trying to get it to work with BFD, 
Sonar5, DFH, RMX, no luck at all. A guy I know with a lot of midi 
experience came over, and he was stumped too. 

I went to http://www.dtxpressions.com/setup.htm#setup3 and followed 
the instructions exactly and it still didn't work. I finally 
rebooted both the drumkit and the computer, and was suddenly able to 
upload a kit to the DTX brain with DTXCHANGE. The midi monitor 
program on that site showed me exactly what was going on. I thought, 
OK, I fixed it, but then when I did a roll, midi monitor would 
register 2 hits and then stop seeing anything. I remember the post 
in here from a while back where a someone else was having the same 
problem and someone else said the Midisport Uno was crap. 

Taking that suggestion, I ordered the Yamaha UX16 USB adapter from 
www.music123.com, installed the drivers, plugged it in and 
EVERYTHING worked right out of the box. Amazing. All those 
troubleshooting hours of learning software, experimenting, etc, and 
it was the stupid Midisport. A guitarist I know says he loves it for 
what he does, but all I can say is that it didn't work worth crap on 
my DTX3.

Thanks to the guy who said that it's crap, otherwise I wouldn't have 
bought the Yamaha one, and I'd probably still be troubleshooting 
right now.
