hey Kaya,
thank you for the "wonderful"! :D
i believe you say that prodatum does not detect the mp-7 after you  
selected the midisport2x2 for in and out in prodatum.

this is what you can try:
set the sysex delay in the master menu of your mp-7 to zero first.  
connect again. if that does not help raise the default message timeout  
in prodatum. to do that launch prodatum from the cmd like this:  
prodatum.exe -t 100 (default is 20ms) and try to connect (let me know  
if that solved it)

if that still does not work:
sorry if that sounds stupid, but make sure your mp-7 is really  
connected bidirectional.

if you have connected other devices to the same midi-device,  
disconnect them, so that only the mp-7 uses that midi-device. maybe  
some devices in between do not forward sysex-messages correctly.

update the OS of your mp-7 to version 2.0 (thats the latest).

if nothing of that helps please send me a log-file. to do this launch  
prodatum from the cmd like this:
prodatum.exe -m 80 2> prodatum.log

good luck,
