Can I trigger the sounds in a Yamaha DD55 through MIDI?

In short. I want FL Studio or any other application capable of MIDI Output to trigger the drums on my DD55 in real time.

Long version, I have played drums for 24 years and - despite some breaks here and there - am still somewhat capable with them. However, I also own a lot of other instruments and electronic music gear. Rather than purchase a separate drum machine, I would like to use my existing DD55 as a machine.

I want to set up various MIDI Out patterns in FL Studio that will trigger drums one at a time through a MIDI connection. Thus, the "kick" in FL Studio sens to the Kick in the Yamaha, and the Yamaha plays the Kick sound.

I am also hoping to do this on the fly, and not just in the pre-recorded song mode. Hopefully I would be able to switch patterns on the go, or make it play for as long or short of a duration as I want.

If not then I know I can do it in the reverse direction, several ways over.
