Total newbie here. I just purchased a used Alesis ControlPad and a used Alesis SR-16 Drum machine. When simply plugging the controlpad into my computer using usb, the computer recognizes it. I've installed the BFD Lite software that came with the pad. When the software comes loads, it gives me a "Error: no ASIO drivers found. This software requires an ASIO driver in order to function" After clicking OK, the software loads but never recognizes the control pad in a drop down menu. I can't produce sounds from the software or from the pad when connected to the computer. I've tried 2 computer with the same results. Both computer are running Vista btw.
That is the first issue.
Here is the second. So now I've got the MIDI out of the controlpad running to the MIDI in of the SR-16. I'm using headphones out of the drum machine for testing. I'm sure there is a setting I'm missing, but I can't get any sound out of the either the drum machine or the pad.
I'm a big mess here and am starting to think I'm over my head.
Would any kind soul point me in the right direction please?
Thanks.
