Megadrum Manager/ Config Tool Crashes

[Manuel]

Hallo;
I have a question:
If I connect my Megadrum with my pc I have a problem:My sample player (Kontakt 5) do recognize my megadrum --> I am able to play with it. BUT If I open Megadrum Manager or Config Tool the programm always crashes. --> You are not able to press any button in this programm (MDM or MCT) but Windows is still reacting.
So what can I do? I have a new Windows 8.1 notebook with 8 GB RAM. So I don´t think that my notebook is the problem, because I tried it with another computer.

Thank You Very Much!

Greetings
Manuel

First of all, you shouldn't be using Config Tool.
Regarding MDM:
1. Does it crash or does it hang (doesn't respond)?
2. If it crashes, at what step does it do this?
3. If it hangs, at what step does it do this?
4. What firmware version do you use?

Hello,
It is crashing after I selected my Megadrum USB Midi for in and out --> apply.
So I am not able to press any button in Megadrum Manager.

I am using 20130612 Firmware.

Upgrade to the latest firmware version first.

A classical mistake is when using MD with a VST player like Kontakt or other DAW software in combination with MDM, is to not use the both MD MIDI ports present when connecting the MD over USB.

If you seriously look in Kontakt and in MDM, you will see two MD MIDI ports. Dedicate the first port and use it in Kontakt. In MDM use the MD port 2 for both input/output.

I am very sure your problems disapper now...

Thanks for the info Anders. I just bought Kontakt and this will be useful.
