Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hey fellas,

 it's been a while since I 've been here, but I still get all of your 
emails and try to help whenever possible. I've been working alot with 
Acuostic drums in the studio,and doing a lot of recording, now that I 
have some time to myself, I'm putting the finishing touches on my 
home studio, I just got the DIGI002 Protools unit from Digidesign, 
and Korg Triton LE and the DTXpress which I've had for 2 years or so 
now.  The question is How do I get the DTX into protools? do I use 
the MIDI I/O or the 1/4inch instrument out? And can I just use the 
Brain and trigger the sounds from a MIDI controller, like the oxygen 
8 midi controller? thansk for the help

anyone?

Hi Herb,

This is a little out of my realm. I've never used Protools, but 
maybe my ignorance will help set the ball rolling. First of all, 
congratulations. The Protools stuff is serious recording and 
production--whether you have the HD or the mix versions. Doesn't 
Protools give you the option of taking the DTX as an audio 
instrument or as a MIDI source? Can't you treat them on the same 
level in the software? A drummer might want to record via audio, but 
MIDI will certainly allow more control, and you can get the final 
sounds from anywhere you like once you're in Protools. Sorry, I'm 
sure this isn't much help, but it must be wonderful to have 
questions about such great equipment.

Herb-

I have a ProTools 001 on loan from a friend. I have experimented with 
the instrument I/O for recording. It works as expected. What I am 
going to try next is using the midi I/O for recording and see how 
that works. My goal is to record midi and email it to a friend, who 
could then play back my midi parts and then record his own parts and 
email it back to me. Trying to email audio files is next to 
impossible due to their size. What I want to know is... are the midi 
files that are produced from ProTools compatible with midi files in, 
say Cakewalk?

If you or anyone else has any ideas, please let me know.
