Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi
I have had my DTXpress 2 for about 8 months and I'm finally wanting 
to delve into the world of PC connectivity. So my question is how do 
I do it?

I have read the tips on DTXpressions, but I dont have a MIDI 
soundcard. I was thinking about getting a USB/MIDI interface thing 
that M-Audio makes as this seems like a very simple solution to me 
not having a MIDI soundcard. 
Which of these MIDI interfaces should I buy, they do 1 in 1 out, 2 
in 2 out, 2 in 4 out, 4 in 4 out and 8 in 8 out. Im assuming i only 
need one of the smaller ones, but which one?

Thanks for any help

Will

Without knowing what other requirements you have, it's difficult to 
be definitive. But if it's just the DTX to a PC, the simplest will 
do. We have the simplest Yamaha widget (UX-16) which does 1 IN and 1 
OUT to USB. Works just fine with the Clavinova hooked up to the 
music room laptop. I kinda wish I'd gone for 2+2, as I now want to 
hook in the DTX. Yamaha have larger models.
