Thanks for the info, Andy.  Much appreciated!  The Guitar center finally got
me the manual, but Yamaha wasn't as specific as you are.

Having a MIDI problem.  Its happened twice where connected to a sequencer
the brain stops making noise on channel 10 in local off mode.  All the
channels send and receive except channel 10.  I toggled all the global midi
switches but can't get ch 10 back till I re initialize the machine (after
saving sysex, which seems to work really well).  I'm stumped. Anyone know if
this is a known bug?  Anyone having trouble with midi sequencers with this
unit?  Sometimes I am hearing delays of almost a 16th note playing over midi
at random intervals and i have a fast interface (8portse).  Wondering if I
am expecting too much to get tight live drums tracks in Logic with the
dtxpress.

I suspect there's an gremlin OS in the box.  I still have a few weeks where
I can take it back.  I'd love to hear others experiences.   There is a lot
to like in the DTxpress, but if it can't record over midi i have to
reconsider.

Best,

Rich

stereo, but the rim trigger system relies on an inverter circuit (in the
brain) triggered from a condensor circuit rim trigger.  I was working on
home made condensor triggers, but apathy has set in.  Maybe one day I'll get
back onto it, but right now my kit isn't even in my own house, so I don't
get to see it much, long story.

will be able to tell you.
