Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi Ron,

Welcome. What we've found from painful experience pver the past two 
months and, finally, a little help from Yamaha is that the DTXIIPU 
module is in desperate need of a complete factory reset right out of 
the box to get the external MIDI function to work properly, even if 
you haven't so much as changed a single setting. Give the reset a 
try, and if that doesn't do the trick, post again, and let the 
troubleshooting begin.
