Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hey Scott

I've got a DTXpress 1 and regularly use a MIDI-USB lead to transfer 
MIDI and record to and from my PC. Initially, I had loads of trouble 
using a Midisport Uno. However since using an Edirol cable, I've 
been virtually problem free. Seems that all DTXP's are sensitive to 
the selection of cable. The Yamaha equivalent, while not 
particularly well regarded in the wider MIDI community, apparently 
works fine with Yamaha equipment. So the conclusion is that if 
you've set up everything correctly as you say you have, it could be 
a cable issue - try buying a decent quality one (I'd certainly 
recommend the Edirol at around £30 from www.dolphinmusic.co.uk)

Also, search the archives here for more info - there's quite a few 
people who have gone throught he the same sort of grief!

Hope this helps...

Tony
