Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

It should be the MIDI Channel number.  That's the
channel that the xpress will be listening on for Midi
commands.  So that means that the key parameters on
the pm16 (for each input) are:

Input # (this should be set to the input you have the
pad plugged into) 
MIDI Channel number should be 10
Midi Note Number (need to be the same as the C= value
in the drum map)

then on the xpress, in the user drum map, you need to
assign a voice to that Midi Note number, as well as
the volume, etc.

If you still can't find the problem, two more things
to try are to 1) there are a few general MIDI pages in
the Utility menu, more towards the start of it than
the drum map is - check to be sure it looks like they
are set to receive MIDI information on channel 10,
including Program Changes; and 2) reset the pm16, then
set it up again.  It is only a few parameters to put
back in, and cleaning it up will not hurt.  

I should have a few minutes later to get on the phone
with you, if this doesn't work for you.  Walt
