Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Peter,

Here is Yamaha's response to your question:

"Regarding the Parameter Change message he pointed out,
I found there is a bug in DTXPRESS, DTXPRESS II & III.

Problem:
  Module don't recognize Parameter Change
Model: 
  DTXPRESS, DTXPRESS (II,III) 
Detail: 
  Module don't recognize Parameter Change follows:
  Parameter Number P1=8 P2=9  tempo select MSB
  Parameter Number P1=8 P2=10 tempo select LSB

Bug fix will be made to next release of DTXPRESS III firmware."

So, I guess that setting won't be functional until the firmware is 
updated.

OGD
