triggering loops with yamaha dtxpress, HELP

Help!!! I am a new user, and a total newbie to midi. I am trying to trigger acid loops by drum pad, using a Yamaha dtxpress as the trigger to midi converter. I cannot figure out what to do to map the pads to the channel I have the loop in. I also need to know how to hit a pad to start a loop, and then stop it by hitting the same pad again. Anyone willing to help a novice out there? Also, what part of the help menu, or book, or website best explains how use the software for this.
thanks.

I think that you're best bet here would be to use the Groove Matrix. Open it up by clicking on that little "window" icon. It's at the top of the Track Pane, just to the left of the Arrange Pane. (First, check in Options\MIDI devices to make sure that the Yamaha is an Active MIDI Device.)

You can populate the Cells in the Groove Matrix by dragging and dropping your Acid loops from P5's Inspector to each Cell. Now, the control part ...

Right-click on the numbered Groove Header above one of the loaded Cells, and select MIDI Remote Control. You'll see a Learn button there. Click on it, and hit the DTExpress pad that you want to trigger that Acid loop. Click again to Stop Learning, and press OK.

If you do that for each of your kit's trigger pads, you can control different or multiple loops with each hit. One drum hit triggers the loop; the second hit unlatches it. There are all sorts of adjustments in the Groove Matrix right-click menus to configure exactly how you want it to react.
