Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Still workin' on it Warren.  i searched in vain for it.  It seems the 
best i have done so far is get it to call up the different drum kits. 
 Have not been successful in creating a definition which you can 
access all the individual voices and layers (change and manipulate) 
thru Calkwalk.  Nobody at Cakewalk knows either.  They just give you a 
run around about how easy it is to make a definition.  I don't think 
they realize the complexity the DTX needs. 

I used the drum kit names for patches 0-47 (made sure they 
corresponded to the DTXpress numbering-had to change them to match).  
I set the DTXpress controllers according to the chart in the back 
(just looked at the yamaha XG controllers for a clue and made a new 
data set).

I left the synth part to general midi....and the note names to general 
midi.  I'm still trying to brainstorm a way into naming all the voices 
for access from cakewalk....using note names? ? ? ? still scratching 
my head on this.  Wish i had the tutorial in the pro tools III kit CD 
on how to do this.  This tutorial should have been included with the 
main package! not an extra! I still have a lot of hair to pull out on 
this.  ;)

I read from earlier posts that the snare and bass drumm do not match 
up with general midi numbers.....i have not experienced this 
yet....but i'm sure i will soon.

i'll try and post some generic .ins file this month  Don't hold your 
breath. i would love to hear any suggestions if you have a flash of 
inspiration.
