Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi Ed
thanks for the swift reply. No - as a matter of fact it was brand new and still in 
the box when I bought it. Thanks for the tips about sysex etc, but I haven't the 
foggiest what that means - sorry. I DO have a pc  - a mac  - but no sound card 
or interface so I guess that makes downloading a bit useless (?)
Sorry if I sound totally uninformed, but the world of e-drums and midi is all 
quite new to me - thankfully there are forums like this!

Mark.
