Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Well, I think I know what you're asking.  So yes would be the 
answer.  I can actually mute the MIDI tracks in pro tools 
controlling the Korg sound module, and the DTXpress will stop 
playing on those tracks too.  Then it just plays on channel 10.  So 
somehow when Protools is outputting midi signal to channels 1,2, and 
10, the DTXpress is under the impression that it's supposed to play 
on 1 and 2.  Now, I can actually turn on channel 10 on the korg, and 
it'll play with the DTXpress, but I ofcourse shut that off quite 
easily.  so I figure that the DTXpress is allowing channels 1 and 2 
to receive signal, and in turn it plays sounds based on the song 
that's linked to the kit I select.  I can change to different songs, 
and the sounds it plays on those channels changes.  

I absolutly LOVE the digi001.  I've got a monster PC computer (and I 
use an athlon xp processor), and I've got two monitors tied in.  I 
can have the mix window on one monitor and the edit window on the 
other, and I don't ever have to switch between.  That was the best 
thing I've done yet.  Protools is the greatest too, although it's 
MIDI capabilities are limited.  It's analog stuff is the bomb!  the 
only thing is that I wish plug-ins were just a little cheaper.
