Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Sam-

I apologize. I haven't had an opportunity to test your suggestion 
yet. I will try to do it this week. I have a two year old who makes 
it hard to explore these options when all he wants to do is play with 
Bob the Builder. Also, my computer and DTXpress are not in the same 
location. 

I'll let you know what happens this week. Thanks for following up!

Cary
