Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Thanks again.

At least now I know it is possible.  I fired off an
email to support at yamahasoftmusic.  Hopefully they
can help me out.

I have my settings just as you describe.  I put on a
midi trace and saw the triggers arriving from my
DTXpress, but I didn't see anything hitting the PC's
MIDI OUT.

I'm suspecting a Windows98 issue or maybe my USB
interface.  

Do you know of anyother way to trigger your drum
sounds on the DTXpress from the PC???

Thanks again.
