Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Not sure about your setup, Giles, but I've got my DTXpress wired straight
into the computer. To play with the MIDI files, I just opened my sequencer,
set all of the track outputs to the MIDI out, muted the drum track and
played along. The sequencer sends the data to the GM part of the brain. The
sounds are quite good. If you have other MIDI instruments between the
DTXpress and the computer, that complicates things but it should still be
workable. I believe you can set each instrument to a different transmit and
receive channel number.
