Midi and Battery drums

[LA1]

I am a digi oo1 Le user on a PC. Because of this I am running the Battery drum program as a stand alone. I am using my Korg M1 keyboard as a controller. I've recently purchased the battery program and I am attempting to trigger it with my M1. I am able to trigger my M1 with the battery pads but, I can't seem to get it to work in reverse. I was under the impression that I'd be able to trigger my battery program with my M1 and at least hear it! Actually recording with it -well - I guess thats another day. Is there any software that I would need to load in order for these two pieces to communicate? Surely my M1 midi would do it right? Help please!

How did you make the connection ? Route ? What mode in M1 ?Did you set M1 's global seting to do both (send and recieve) MIDI messages ? How's your Battery setting ? I think it can be done.

Thanks James. I have my M1 set to External and assigned to channel 1 in the Global setting. To my knowledge,thats all I had to do from the M1 side.
Also I'm not that familiar with battery yet and how to set it up. Maybe there's somethng there that I am missing.

I also don't know anything about Battery, but most MIDI related app lets you chose MIDI input and Output device. Have you chose (and route) the Battery's MIDI In from M1's MIDI Out ? If so, then check the MIDI channel in Battery...

On the M1, the only thing that i know of is the setting for internal and external. And the midi channel designation.
On battery, i've set the midi channel but, there is a section that i don't understand - controlers - says cc1, cc2 cc3 etc. Not sure what that is.
