Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

i'm trying to control a softsynth from the dtxpress with no luck.  
i'm not getting any midi coming into the computer.  i'm sure the 
cable is good, as well as the interface . . . is there a menu where i 
must manually turn on midi out?

this kit is here at the studio on loan, so i don't have a manual.

thanks,

I would do a factory reset on the module and then see if it starts
working. Also, from a previous post, here's all the manuals:

Art,

We didn't mean to ignore you--crisis, you know. You can get a copy 
of the manual in the links section. The utility section will 
probably get you what you need.

Just some small things to check first:

1. in the back of the brain there are a little switch, make sure its 
on midi.

2. the cables should be as the the midi in should go to the midi out 
on the brain and so on.

What kind of sound card are you using, is it capable of handling MIDI 
voices?  I renetly had to upgrade my sound card so that i could also 
run mine into my PC for recording purposes.

actually, right after i posted, i found out that the DIP switch on 
the back was indeed the problem.  thanks so much everyone for the 
replies, the pdf manual will come in handy.
