Macintosh connection and software**

2003-05-18 by b3n1981

Hi all,
ive had my dtxpress2 for about a month or so now and am interested in hooking it up 
2 my G3 Powerbook Mac.

What would i need, im guessin a USB Midi Driver and software. Can anyone make any 
recommendations?

Also apart from recording what will the DTXPRESS2 gain from a midi connection?


Thanks!

Check out archive message #940, which has good Mac info. With MIDI, 
you could hook up to a sampler, either software or hardware, 
store/exchange (with other Mac users) kits, connect to an external 
trigger/MIDI interface (like the Roland TMC-6) to add more inputs to 
your module, send songs to the DTX that you can play along with, 
send DTXpress MIDI content to other MIDI devices/instruments to 
access their sounds. . . .  Am I leaving anything out?

With the right software, you could probably even write drum tabs 
directly from your playing (either live or from recorded songs). 
Haven't tried it, yet, but will hook up Noteworthy on the music room 
laptop to the DTXpress shortly and see what can be done.
