The directions for connecting the DrumX to an external sequencer 
don't seem to take into account the type of cable that the DrumX 
uses, so Loopback is probably the best (/only) way of doing that. It 
may be that the accessories were never released; I checked the 
website from their email address and it seems all they make are baby 
toys.
