Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I'll take a stab at this one... :)

Could be this is happening:

You have the MIDI in and MIDI out from the DTX module going to your
sequencer. When you begin to playback the sequence, the sequencer is in
MIDI-Through mode. When you hit the "change drumkit" selection from the
front panel of the DTX module, it goes out the MIDI out port, is received
by the sequencer, that then "forwards" it to the MIDI in of the DTX
module!

This would be the "loop" that would cause the sequencer to continue to
run up the drum kits till it looped around. Every "up" command received
by the DTX in turn goes out *again* adding to the storm of instructions
eventually causing the MIDI buffer to overflow. To see if this is the
case, try removing the MIDI-Out cable from the DTX module and *them* use
the kit up/down and see if the same result occurs. If this solves the
problem, then go into your sequencer and turn off MIDI-Through. Hope this
makes sense...  :)
