Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I have received Russ Miller's Drum Set Crash Course for the DTXpress, 
installed the drivers and the sequencing software and purchased the 
cable to connect my module to my computer. When I play any of the 
midi files, non of the drum parts are coming through my module??? I 
get piano, synths, etc. but no drums? I have checked every utility 
option that I could think of, but nothing.

Has anyone used this book and the accompanying CD? Can you give me 
any help? Are there supposed to be any audio tracks on the CD that 
play examples of the exercises in the book?

I'm in the dark and getting very frustrated. Any help that you can 
offer would be greatly appreciated!!!


Thanks, Cary H.

i haven't personally used the crash course products you've 
described ,but i have had a similar problem when using my module on 
my pc. i run into my pc for the general midi voices on the module(for 
use with my keyboard),and i know that when i'm doing this this 
way ,that i have to push the song button on my module then page over 
once,then select over once to the v= ..then i have to make sure it's 
on meldy,and not drumv,so you may want to check yours out ,and see if 
by switching this setting to drumv,instead of meldy ,and maybe it 
would gain you access to the drum voices instead...i'm not sure if 
this will solve your problem,but i figured i'd pass on the info..

hope this helps,

Sam-

I apologize. I haven't had an opportunity to test your suggestion 
yet. I will try to do it this week. I have a two year old who makes 
it hard to explore these options when all he wants to do is play with 
Bob the Builder. Also, my computer and DTXpress are not in the same 
location. 

I'll let you know what happens this week. Thanks for following up!

cool , yeah kids can be a handful at times when you try to do 
something other than what they want...i know when my neices and 
nephews are all at my house at the same time,they all want to play my 
drumkit so i have to use the pull a number out of a hat rorutine so 
they all get a fair chance to let loose their chops,my neice is 5 
yrs. old and allready is quite the drummer(pretty cool)she prides her 
playing on her abilty to keep the timing consistant....

Sam-

I brought my module into where my computer is and hooked up the 
serial cable to the To Host port. I tried the setting you suggested 
on a user kit (#98), still no sound. I have the swithch on the back 
on PC2 because I have the smaller pin connectors. I've installed the 
drivers that came with the book CD and the XGLite sequencer software. 
I can't figure out how to get any sounds out.

I also have a midi cabel that connects to my PC from the game port. 
The cable has midi in and out. Using a different program, Band in a 
Box, I can play preprogramed or original songs via midi to my module 
and the sounds work fine. I can change drum kits while the general 
midi sounds stay consistent.

So... I don't know why I can't get the Drum Set Crash Course CD to 
work? Perhaps Warner Bro.s or Yamaha has some support and can help me?

If you have any other ideas let me know. If anyone else has any 
experience with this problem, I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks Sam and everyone else in the group!

Chitsman,

	I don't have my unit with me at work, however I'm pretty
sure in the utilies menu on the DTXpress there is an option to
switch from GMidi to Navive which I would guess is XG. This might be 
worth a try.

Carey,

I've only read a bit about your problem. It would seem
to me that this might relate to drum sounds typically
being assigned to channel 10 (of 16)  on most midi
instruments. I could be WAY off base, but if all the
other sounds are being transmitted EXCEPT the drum
sounds, it would be worth investigating.

GOOD LUCK

Here is the latest update.

1. After re-reading the manual, I noticed that it states that the 
serial cable can be 1.8 meters (6 feet) max. The cable I've been 
trying to use is 10 feet. Perhaps this is the problem with my serial 
connection??

2. With my module connected to my computer, via the game port to 
midi, and using the MPU410 driver, I can now play the Crash Crouse 
midi files with the Yamaha XGLite software. The midi changes the drum 
patches and plays other general midi tones for the play-a-long 
sections. It sounds very good.

Now my only problem is that my computer is in my office and my 
DTXpress is in my garage. So perhaps getting the stand Crash Course 
would have been a better decision so that I would have an audio CD to 
use through the modules aux in???

I will keep my eyes open for the 6 ft. serial cable for kit dumps, 
etc.

Leon,

The Drum Set Crash Course is a drum set instructional book that is 
authored by Russ Miller and distributed by Warner Bros. It comes in 
two versions, one for the usual drummer and it comes with an audio CD 
with exercise examples, and the second is designed specifically for 
the DTXpress user and it it comes with midi files that you load on 
your computer and then play through your DTXpress.

Hope that helps!

Cary

Hi,

Anyone familiar wit the book "Drum Set Crash Course for the DTXpress" 
by Russ Miller? Has it help for midi-exchange etc.? Is there an ISDN 
number known?

Leon,
Netherlands

Leon,

I have the book, but I haven't spent anytime with it other than 
getting the midi to work and listening to some of the midi files that 
playing examples of the exercises in the book. I don't know about 
there being help for midi-exchange??? I believe that you can order 
the book from www.russmiller.com . I don't know the ISDN number. I 
will try to dig my book out and get it for you.

Cary
