Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Vern,

What we've been trying to do with the DTXII that we can do with 
earlier modules is attach a user midi note (not one of the default 
midi notes to a particular input) to a particular dtx drum voice and 
store that note on a midi interface like the PM-16 or the Kat 
midiKITI. The ultimate goal is to have a pad played through one of 
the kiti's or PM-16's inputs access the appropriate voice/note on 
the dtx through the midi connection to effectively enlarge the dtx 
kit. Can you use an app to play a such a midi note back through the 
dtx?
