Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hello DTXpress GURUs.

I need some assistance.  I'm trying to create an instrument definiton 
file for the Yamaha DTXpress for Cakewalk (I have Pro Audio 9).  
Cakewalk and their BBS site don't have a clue.  Accessing the DTXpress 
drum kits by number is no problem! However, trying to create a 
definition that will let my computer (Cakewalk) have access to the 
specifics of which Drum is on what MIDI NOTE within each kit.... plus 
.....the specifics of which voice the drum is using.....is proving to 
be one headache.

Has anyone accomplished this feat yet.  I understand if you don't want 
to share the info.  All I need to know....is it possible?  If its 
possible.....I'll just keep hammerin' away at it. 

It would be a source of great motivation on my end knowing that it is 
possible.  Running out out of steam :)

Thanks LEE....I'll find a way to get into the specifics of the drum 
voices.  I can be relentless when working on a project.  I've been 
using my "textbridge" program with my scanner from the manual and 
Microsoft Excel for the lists. It lightened the load a little. 

Tell me about Logic if you get the chance.  Thanks again  :)

The best thing right about Logic for me right now is the EXS 24
Sampler....very high quality samples, and the stereo drum kit is
awesome....24 bit stereo samples, very realistic......I use the DTX to
trigger samples, and once you record the performance, you hit "demix" and it
separates all the parts of your kit for more indepth mixing....

There is really nothing you cant do with this software....very powerful and
complex....
