Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Great, thanks,

I updated the drivers from the m-audio website, but didn't have much 
time to mess around with it. One improvement (I think) is that now 
when I turn on the dtxpress I can immediately generate messages that 
are picked up by MIDI watch... However I noticed that each time I 
hit a pad, MIDI watch picks up one note on signal, and two note off 
signals! I have no idea why it's doing this. 

In Cubase when I just start hitting pads the midi bar doesn't 
activate at all. To get things working in cubase I still have to go 
through the process of doing a bulk dump before I can start 
generating midi messages, and then it's the same strange problem of 
having to keep the kit consistently 'busy' or else it stops working 
altogether.

Very strange! I'll keep working on this.
