Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Ronald,

The posts that you had mentioned were before my time, so I went back 
and read through the posts.

Did you ever find a solution to the problem? 

I recently started going back through the posts from this group 
starting with post # 1. and MIDI seems to be one of the consist 
problems/issues that is discussed and second is compatability with 
other manufacturers equipment. I personally would not have known the 
answer to your problem and do not have the equipment in order to 
duplicate your problem. All of my recording is audio out to a mixer 
and then to a digital recorder (Korg D1200CD).  I don't do anything 
with MIDI. I tried digging into but it just seem that the DTXpressII 
module was going to be to frustrating to work through at least until 
more people bought it and started using it. I just figured that I 
would be in for a world of frustration.

Considering the DTxpressII was only about eight months old when you 
ask the question and that most of the people probably don't have the 
dtxpressii but another or earlier variant of it, I was amazed anybody 
was able to jump in and tried to help. From the posts when this group 
was formed and with the inception of the dtxpressI, it seem many 
questions went unanswered, just because nobody had figured it out yet.

I know this is doubling of post on this issue, but the point I am 
trying to make to everyone is, there are wide variety of people here, 
some full time musicians, some part time ones and some that just put 
on the headphones and pretend to be one when they are home alone. The 
only real experts on the Yamaha equipment are the folks sitting 
behind a desk or lab table in Japan and they don't ever stop by and 
visit. If they do, we will probably never know. So if you ask a 
question and don't get an answer or don't get an answer that helps 
you out, then thats the time to go to the Yamaha support team. The 
whole purpose of sending out the "special notice" was to see if we 
had enough members to get Yamaha's attention and get someone from 
there tech. support to consider us significant and important enough 
to have a permanent presences here. Then most if not all of the 
questions about the dtx equipment could get answered by the real 
experts.
