Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Ed, I tried your suggestion.  I also tried the suggestions of members 
of other yahoo groups.  Basically nothing worked at all.  So I took a 
different approach which solved the problem.

By the way I have the original DTXpress not the DTXpressII

Ok, So there is a MIDI dump option to dump only the user-set drum 
patched.  I poked around Sonar and found a library of sysex bank I 
could use.  I dumped into Sonar.  Then I reset the DTXpress to 
facotry settings.  Midi seemed to work fine.  Then I dumped my pacth 
presets back into the DTXpress.  Again everything works.

So that was my solution.

Alex
