Midi from DR 880 to Play Vir2 Instruments?

OK, this is probably a really dumb question and also simple but I've done a lot of reading and I've never done anything with midi before. I'm using Cubase SX 3 and also Vir2 Virtual Instruments and just recently bought a Boss DR 880 and what I'm wanting to do is use the drum machine to play notes of different instuments that are loaded in the Kontakt/Vir2 program. I had a simple time getting my Roland JX-8P to work this way-but then again, it's a synth so it makes more sense. I guess I'm just not really sure of the assinging of channels between the drum machine and the Kontakt player within Cubase. Any help or info is greatly appreciated-thanks.

I think I just need to set the channels properly-and get reading the manuals again and with a lot more attention.
