Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I am using DTXpress midi successfully with Cubase VST - no delays, no playback problems. There were a couple of setting needed changing initially from default to get snare and kick notes working. A friend Andy T also is using a DTXpress extensively with Cubase and reports no problems.
