Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi! 
 
I would like to record my performance with the preset songs, with 
the sequencer. In the "song" menu, there is an option to copy 
any preset song into a user-song slot. So I do this, but when I 
want to record my playing, I can't mute the drum part of the song 
(I mean, when I playback the song, I hear MY part and the 
pre-recorded part). 
 
I want to delete the drum part of the song. I have tried to mute 
channel 10, but then, I can't hear my playing!!! 
 
My DTXPress is a first-model. Is there any way to record my 
playing with a preset song? 
 
I know, this must be a very novice question. I feel ashamed, but 
I'm getting crazy with this.

On the mk1, by my quick reading of the manual, you can mute groups of 
sounds (kick, snare, cymbals, misc) from the song playback mode (see 
page 31 of the manual) - go into song playback, then page down to 
the "song and mute" display. Shift and page up when in song playback 
will mute the song's drum track but allow you to play over it (page 
18).

I think in the end what you need to do it use Song Job mode to clear 
the drum track (page 50) from the song you've copied, and then play 
over it. You'll need to clear the track before you can record to it 
anyway. I believe the drum track is track 1.

Yes, but that doesn't delete the drum track.

That is what I want. But, when I delete track 2, nothing happens, 
and when I delete track 1, the song and the drums dissappear.
