Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hey Bill, thanks for your tips

I have a midi keyboard, which I drummed on before, but its not the 
same, isnt it? ;)
but I can connect it to check how Battery will respond.

I have the latest drives for the soundcard, and I do shot down all 
programs, like Antivirus program, Zonealarm, hey I've even removed IE 
with IEradicator! I dont use office or games, as I receantly 
reinstalled everything to get this thing solved!

I just posted a message in the Battery forum, about the midi 
controller in Battery, what to do with it..
All midinotes are correctly setup within DTX and so, anyway, I will 
get the keyboard now.
