Hi there

I've been a lurker on this list for a long while. I just downloaded  
prodatum 0.40 to use with my P2500k. Now here's the problem -- I don't  
know how to get started. I've connected the Midisport 2x2 to my  
Macbook Pro, I've hooked its output to the P25k's MIDI in and the  
P25k's OUT A to the input on the Midisport. I run Prodatum and select  
the MIDI sport as the I/O devices.

So far so good, but then what? I have a lot of empty parameter screens  
on prodatum and pulling up its keyboard screen and pressing piano keys  
doesn't lead to any sound on the P25k.

a) am I just missing something completely obvious here?
b) can I upload the current settings of the P25k into prodatum for  
editing?

Sorry for the naive questions but I am a bit stuck here...

Thanks

paul
