Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Ok...Ive read the manual on this but seems like Im have some 
troubles here.

I want to put the individual sounds on seperate tracks so I can add 
my reverb and mix to my prefs.

Heres what I want to know...
Does the mute only do Catagories?
K,S,C and then toms  or others? (M)
Im finding that Im kinda limited on not being able to mute each one 
for playback/record mode.
Thanks,
Billy

Any One?

Not as many troubles as someone who *hasn't* read the manuals! :)

Not unusual, pretty standard for any advanced recording...

Actually, from the next few questions you ask, it seems that you have
leaped over some key information. FIrst, are you recording AUDIO out of
the back ofthe DTX or MIDI? If AUdio, then how are you sequencing? IF
you're sequencing from the internal DTX sequencer, then you're in for a
bit of a tough haul, since you would have to start you analog recorder,
then start the sequencer with only ONE sound playing from the DTX (i.e.
SNARE or KICK or some such) by setting all the other sounds to voulme
zero. Then when the song was over, you would rewind your tape, unmute the
next drum and then do it again. One pass for each instrument, so that
would be like kick, snare, hat, tom1, tom2, tom3, crash, ride. on a 4
minute song were talking about 32 minutes of record time! This sounds
like too much work when there seems to be an easier solution.

I would use the DTX to send MIDI to a sequencer and then after you have
recorded the MIDI sequence, pass it back to the DTX and then use it's
internal verb, layering, decay, cutoff, etc to tweak the voices to suit.
Send the output to a mixer along with you other midi stuff and you're
done.
