Hi Phil,
Everything seems so difficult until the penny drops. It is up and running now. I had a lot of difficulty with the midi keyboard, not knowing if USB was a port or not. Two ports show up in Audio Midi Setup, but I have a USB and two midi on the keyboard (making three ports in all).
However, I finally figured it out and can play the Beatbuddy samples with my keyboard. Yay!!!
The real reason that I wanted to do this was to convert BB samples into audio loops to use with the Drum Machine Designer in Logic.
Regards
Rodney
