Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

What you are trying to achieve is having each drum sound (or groups 
of sounds) on different audio tracks. This is very different from 
assigning a different MIDI channel to each sound.

MIDI channels do not convey any actual sound - only information such 
as what note was played, how hard it was played, how long the 
duration was etc..

I'm not sure how many audio outputs the dtxpress module has (I 
presume 2 for stereo) but if you were to record your performance into 
a sequencer and then mute various sounds at playback time, you could 
eventually build up a multitrack audio performance with each of the 
sounds on different audio channels as you desire. You would need an 
external recording device, either analog or digital to accomplish 
this.

Hope this isn't too confusing.
