it seems to talk to md and midi log .but i cant get it to do anything.

So you in fact installed it, didn't you?
You configured MIDI ports?
How do you know that "it seems to talk to md"?
What doesn't work?

It means it wasn't installed properly. All the libraries come in the install package. Did you install it from http://www.megadrum.info/mdm/ ?

What "doesn't seem so" ?

Ive had a look at mdm and it wont lrt me use the mdm usb option .

If it didn't let you use "mdm usb option" how did you manage "to get the log working shows yellow bars when pads struck"?

Hi Dimitri,
Well to cut a long story short,It was all down to the Usb lead .Changed it and All works fine, But then im asking myself why was BFD2 working ?
Cheers
