Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

This sounds like fun, but I am having trouble getting any midi signal 
from my DTXplorer. It is possible that the generic midi/USD converter 
I found on ebay is not what it should be, but I am also not sure that 
I've found the correct setting to change on the menu. Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Ed
