Maybe it's me, but I always get the IN - OUT connections confused in terms of what goes to what.

Assuming you have followed the easy-to-miss step of saving the MIDI settings to store the presets: "Press the IN/OUT button again to change to the Store Enable menu"
then try swapping your MIDI cables around. Worth a long shot!

Yep, I've done that, too. My MIDI adapter is the Turtle Beach USB one. I always had to dig out and RTM before using it. Lately, I've been leaving it connected to the BFD and just disconnecting the cable from the laptop. The BFD stays on all the time, so I don't have to worry about redoing the store enable command, and the USB connector only fits ito the computer one way, so setup is tres easy. Haven't seen any additional noise or other ill effects from having the MIDI attached all the time, either.

Believe me, Sonnie, once you've started using that MIDI interface, you'll be hooked. Takes about 2 or 3 minutes between REW runs, including changing filters and sending them to the BFD, all without moving from in front of the computer!
