Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Jade, you also said you plugged your midi in to your midi out and 
and tested the dtx by turning off the loc1.  did you mean u plugged 
the midi in and out between the kiti and module?  Thanks!  I think 
I'm going to give Martin a call though!  I guess it would better to 
use the number thats gonna cost me huh?  How much does it cost?  
Thanks!
