Hi nigelfelony,

I had the same problem. I fixed it by going into MDM, click Main->options. Select Megadrum for the MIDI in and out settings. I hope that works.

I thought it was quite obvious that you have to configure MDM first to talk to MegaDrum on the right MIDI interfaces. I will add a big splash warning window telling to select right MIDI ports in Main->Options if these ports have not been selected yet.

Without more details "all kinds of issues" appear to be the OS/Java installation issue rather than an MDM issue.
