Hi lil_drummer89,

First of all, congratulations on your new kit. The simplest 
explanation of the problem is that you have created a continuous MIDI 
circuit between Sonar and the DTXpress. In other words, the MIDI out 
from Sonar is going to the DTXpress and then back into Sonar to 
repeat the process, thereby overloading the poor little DTXpress' 
MIDI buffer. Shut off MIDI thruput on Sonar, or otherwise disable new 
information exiting the DTXpress and entering Sonar by setting MIDI 
Merge in the DTXpress Utility Menu to "off."
