Re: Machinedrum midi and digital performer

Thanks for the quick reply
I followed instructions and I am fairly sure there is no Midi from the MD to the 
mac.  I tried midi into a Motu 828II and a then a motu timepiece.  In the Midi 
monitor of DP there is no sign of  midi incoming on any channel, however the 
light is solid and lit for Rt, the system real time indicator which includes midi 
beat clocks, DTL.  The midi in light is on and solid on the 828 interface..
Any ideas?
Thanks
