Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi,

Thanks for the tips, I'm almost there!  I switched the setting in the 
back to MIDI, set up local off and the midi track in SONAR.  When 
local is set to off I can't hear the drums.  When I play back the 
drums I recorded (yea, they actually at least recorded!) nothing 
comes out of the DTXPress.  If I change the port to output to my Korg 
05R/W (I'm using a MOTU Midi Express XT for my MIDI device) the drums 
come out fine.

Any ideas??
