Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

The problem of course with recording electronic drumkits as an analogue sig=
nal is 
they send a stereo out for the combined kit.  This makes it difficult to re=
mix different 
voices (kick, snare etc) and pull a decent mix after the final takes.  The =
solution in 
theory should be to record in midi using your electronic drumkit...

Now if I can only work out how to set it up.  This is the recipe so far...

1. Buy an iMac with the latest version of OS-X, a USB Midiman Interface, lo=
ad the 
drivers

2. Dust off your DTXPRESS set it up, connect it into the Midiman/Midisport =
box per 
the instructions

3. Check out cubase.net for the instructions you need to set up your Midisp=
ort 2x2 
for OS X (the one's they don't tell you about).  Follow these, learn a few =
things.

4. Check your configuration via the dtxpressions.com website.

5. Double check everthing.

6. Scratch your head and wonder why you are not getting a signal into your =
Midiman 
or into Cubase.

7. Post at the cubase & dtxpress forums for advice / wisdom.

Any clues?  Anyone using their kit with OS X or Cubase?

------------------
yup, uh huh, hmmm, uh huh, uh huh, sorry, you lost me, 
can you run that by me again?

Not using Mac/Midiman/Cubase, but ... have you done a factory reset 
of the DTXpress module? There's a well-documented bug (at least in 
the DTXpressII anyway) where MIDI fails to work unless you have done 
so.

Useful to know... did that, no joy.  I think my problems are more deeply seated.
