Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Here is the latest update.

1. After re-reading the manual, I noticed that it states that the 
serial cable can be 1.8 meters (6 feet) max. The cable I've been 
trying to use is 10 feet. Perhaps this is the problem with my serial 
connection??

2. With my module connected to my computer, via the game port to 
midi, and using the MPU410 driver, I can now play the Crash Crouse 
midi files with the Yamaha XGLite software. The midi changes the drum 
patches and plays other general midi tones for the play-a-long 
sections. It sounds very good.

Now my only problem is that my computer is in my office and my 
DTXpress is in my garage. So perhaps getting the stand Crash Course 
would have been a better decision so that I would have an audio CD to 
use through the modules aux in???

I will keep my eyes open for the 6 ft. serial cable for kit dumps, 
etc.
