Elektron Musical Instruments

Whats up everyone!

I'm a newb to this board, but have been posting on the MC-909 group
site for a while....  My machinedrum is coming in the mail today, and
i'm looking for some opinion on how 2 set it all up....  

Gear List:  

MC-909 (which i do most of my sequencing on)
Access Virus B
MACHINEDRUM ( I can't tell you how stoked i am to make my own drums)
M-Audio 18/14 (8 audio ins, 4 outs, 1 MIDI in/Out)'
M-Audio MIDISport 2x2 usb <--> Computer or through
Cubase on my crappy computer, (i use it for basically recording and
audio mastering)


Right now, I have the 909 rumming the virus, and the computer synced
up to the 909's MIDI, but when i'm writing, i'm using the MIDIsport as
a through....  

I was amped when i found out you can use MIDI to trigger the MD for
not only individual drum hits, but patterns, and I believe its going
to give me some major flexibility when writing, as well as finally
being able to get my kick drums tuned the way i'd like....

Basically, I guess i could phrase this as curious to know if anyone
has a similar setup, and if so what did you do with it?  

Thanks all, and glad to meet you all!
