I've seen demos of this on the web although they seem to use a lot of high notes.(and horrible samples) I'm wondering how well the low notes track and what kind of delay to expect. It could be an interesting way of imitating an upright bass!

My goodness, that's exactly what i wanted to do. I've got one but I can't get it to work. Or rather I can't work out how to set it up in Logic so that Logic acknowledges the B2M as an external midi source.

I use a Edirol UA-25EX USB interface, and plug the B2M into the midi connection.

Any clues?

Cheers
PS where do you live?

Hi Davo,
For your Midi problem, the following may be helpful from the manual:
"The UA-25 has two operating modes, Advanced mode and Standard driver mode, and a different driver is used by each mode.
Advanced mode:
This is the operating mode when the rear panel ADVANCE (mode select)
switch is ON. You can use the native driver included on the UA-25 Driver CDROM
to record, play, and edit audio with high quality and stable timing. In
Advanced mode, audio signals are transferred between the UA-25 and the
computer at a bit depth of 24 bits and a sample rate of 44.1/48/96 kHz. Choose
Advanced mode if you are using software that supports 24-bit audio such as
the Cubase VST or Logic Audio; or ASIO-compatible software that can record,
play, and edit high-quality audio, such as Cubase VST or Logic Audio.

Normally, you should use Advanced mode.

* You must use Advanced mode if you want to use MIDI."

If everything above is fine, re-check send/receive channels.
Also, sometimes the boot-up order of midi devices determines whether they work together or not!
Good Luck

Thanks BB. You seem to be seriously knowledgeable.

I'll try it later.
