Mike
I have been able to sync the click track with most 
songs. I have made the following settings to do this. 
(some of these settings don't apply to the sync track, 
but I know this configuration works)

In the Utility mode:
Midi Control = ON
Sync = Auto
Use Tempo = Song
Click Mode = Manual
 
Recording Process
You  need to know the actual tempo and beat of the song. 
P 34 in the manual
I've been using "MidiSoft Studio for Windows" (Shareware)
to play the midi files. 
When the song is opened it shows the actual tempo. The 
beat is the time signature, in the first measure of the song.
So if I want to record a song with a tempo of 78 and a 4/4 
beat:

- After pressing Shift + Start on the DTXpress module set 
the tempo to 78, the default beat of 4/4 is good.
- Press the click button (should be blinking)
- Press Start to begin recording. 
- Start playing the song on the pc.

You know if the click is synced right if the 2 lights blink 
each time the measure counter on the DTXpress display is 
incremented  while recording.

Hope this helps -

PS: This discussion group is great - I just found it and 
have solved the ride-cymbal volume problem and learned about 
setting 2 voices for each pad for better sound -

Thanks a lot !
