Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Good questions.

1. Cakewalk INS file. I'm a Cakewalk user but I
haven't set up an INS file because I record the
DTXpress as Audio. That way I don't have to hook the
brain up each time I want to play a song. It's also
easier to master songs to CD by having all my tracks
as Audio.
But I can see the point of having an INS file - so
unless anyone else comes up with one, I guess it's
down to you.

2. TR-808. Hmmm. The DTXpress has some onboard sounds
that come close, but you'll never get that classic
analogue sound. Plus, you're gonna need a lot of pads
to get all 16 TR-808 sounds. The thing is, there's no
way of downloading samples to the DTXpress (*big*
omission, Yamaha - but it keeps the price down). The
onboard sounds will just have to do for now. If you
get close, email me the SYX file and I'll put it on
the website.

Good luck with both these endeavours.
