Midi sends serial codes at a fixed clock rate. You can download a decoder program run from your computer that can look at the codes coming in from your USB post. I don't think your phone can run these but a portable laptop should be able to.
If connector pin is broken,replace it.
Use cable that is already known for sure is good.
If these things do not resolve the problem, there may be damage to electronic components within the unit. Chances are MIDI interface IC.
Well first start by verifying USB port works by plugging in a hard drive or something thus proving you have a good port and USB Cable. At which point hook the keyboard up ( and make sure to properly install drivers provided on cd with purchase) being a pc this may take several attempts to install. What software are you trying to control? Reason? Logic? Fruityloops?
you need to determine what midi note the DTXplorer is using for the snare, kick and 3rd tom, and set the SR-18 accordingly, or vica-versa. the midi notes for each instrument has to be the same.
if you cannot change the midi note in either unit to make them correspond, you can download a "midi mapper" program (i think e-drum might be one), there is freeware available if you search CNet. with a midi mapper program, you would have to get a midi/usb adapter for your computer and rouite the midi signal through a computer. midi mapping software allows you to change the midi note, when the hardware itself is incapable of doing so.
The sync signal that is sent on the MIDI cable is actually a "clock" of something like 96 ticks per measure. This is the "MIDI sync clock". This is a single byte FF hex.
The beats themselves are not sent. The firing of the individual percussions should be.
