Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I've noticed a bit of a drop in activity myself, don't know if everyone
is on spring break or maybe they all got too busy playing their kits to
read their email! :)

Anyway, as for the symptoms you describe, I would start by doing a
factory reset of the module. This seems to cure a number of strange
maladies the kit experiences. Next, I would try the module by itself
(i.e. NO MIDI or other cables. Just Headphones and power!). Try plugging
in headphones and see if the internal songs (high-rise etc) play
correctly (with drums and all the General MIDI voices like piano, bass,
horns etc.).

Next, I would connect the module to my MIDI rig and try recording a few
drum strokes and playing them back. Next I would try using MIDI channel 1
to send General MIDI to the module. The module should have a full
compliment of Musical instruments that respond to MIDI channel 1. After
trying the above, let us know what result you have and I'm sure someone
can come up with a suggestion. :)
