Hey Jaymz,

If I'm reading you right, yes, you can send MIDI data from Cakewalk, 
with or without MIDI drum commands on it, to a track on the DTXpress 
to which you can add drum accompaniment on another track of the 
DTXpress sequencer. What you cannot do is record audio material from 
any device into the DTXpress.
