Pass through Midi from MegaDrum Manager FX to VST Host

[dsteinschneider]

My USB audio interface doesn't have 5 pin DIN MIDI input or output - it's USB only.

When MegaDrum Manager FX is running my VST host, Cantabile, doesn't see the MegaDrum. I'm trying to figure out how to run both at the same time so I can listen while I tweak parameters.

Is there a way to pass through the MIDI while MegaDrum Manager FX is running into a VST host with just the USB connected? I've tried different settings in Options but never get pass through.

I have an MidiSport 2x2 somewhere in my spare parts collection. If I hook that up and pass through to MIDI2 out will that work? Is that the only way to accomplish this?

MegaDrum presents two sets of MIDI ports over USB - use the first set for VST only and the second set for MDMFX.

Thanks Dmitri - for some reason I thought MIDIIN2 was for the DIN MIDI connectors.

I chose:
MIDI In: MIDIIN2 (MegaDrum USB MIDI)
MIDI OUT: MegaDrum USB MIDI

I did not check Enable MIDI Thru

So far I wasn't at the point of tweaking that I needed to listen while tweaking in MegaDrum Manager FX, it was more just getting everything working. I'm now adjusting so hits in SD2 evenly get louder as I increase drumstick velocity so it helps to have both running.
