Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Well done with the Sysex Manager! I'll start uploading
files soon...

My MIDI setup is simple at the moment. I have one
cable going from MIDI Out to the MIDI/joystick
connector on the soundcard (AWE32). This is fine for
pushing MIDI notes into the PC from my keyboard.
However, connecting this cable on the DTXpress MIDI
Out and hitting drums produces nothing on the
soundcard. I guess I need the PC-HOST connector for
that. It figures that the MIDI Out jack is really only
useful for bulk dumps. Strange...there should be no
reason why you can't just hit pads and get a MIDI Note
On/Off message sent to your soundcard on Ch10 (or
whatever). MIDI In/Out is really all you need. You can
still send Sysex messages thru these. The fact that
there's this "other" PC-HOST socket is annoying. Have
you got one of these, Chris? How do you wire it up? I
understand it should go in the serial or parallel port
on the PC. How do you get MIDI to/from there?

See ya'll
