Hello, sorry for the late reply. We haven't configured Aerodrums with an e-drums brain like ht TD-20's, but we know that some users have done it successfully.

There are two possibilities:

1) If the MIDISPORT 2.2 M-AUDIO opens a software MIDI port for programs to send notes to, it will be listed in Aerodrums MIDI screen. In this case all you need to do is select the "MIDI only" or "MIDI and sound" mode and select the MIDISPORT port in the list of available MIDI outputs.

2) If the MIDISPORT comes with software that you can configure to listen on an existing software MIDI port, you will need to use a virtual MIDI cable to create such a port. Then you can connect the MIDISPORT to the output of this port using its software, and connect Aerodrums to the input of this same port using Aerodrums' MIDI screen. You fill find a longer explanation of this process, and recommendations for virtual MIDI cables programs on this page:

http://aerodrums.com/using-aerodrums-wi ... -samplers/

it also has video tutorials for both MAC and PC. (Even though the page and the tutorial are written with a DAW in mind, just replace "DAW" with "MIDISPORT software" if you are in case 2), it is equally valid).
