First, let me say I love this plug in, but with a few reservations. And when I say I love it, I am comparing it to Geist, Stylus RMX, Battery, EZ Drummer... a host of other ways of doing this.
I have had this installed for about 3 days, so I am by no means an expert. The user interface is great and the ability to use a drum grid to create a part then export it is also great.
My one critique is that when I hit export, there are some windows that open saying "Device door open..." or something like that (Not at my DAW right now). I can hit ignore or cancel a few times, then a window pops up. Sort of. It pops behind the MDrummer window. I have to minimize M Drummer to get to the directory menu (Ditto on install). Then for whatever set of reasons, it seems to take forever to export a MIDI or audio track. And so far, I have only been using 4 bar or so patterns.
The other Melda plugs I have open a window to the left of the plug in. That is great. But behind is cumbersome.
When you take a crack at the next version, please look into making the directory window a bit easier to find.
Otherwise I love your stuff. Might get the other plugs someday. Have Creative Bundle and M Drummer right now.
Thanks again.
BTW - having the ability to graphically control the spectrum of a phaser or chorus or echo is wonderful. I have yet to master the others in the Creative Bundle. Heck I have not mastered Chorus or Phaser yet either, but I can get cool sounds on my own.

Hi and thank you! 
The poping messages - this will be fixed in the next update. It's caused by one of your devices, usually floppy or card reader, in your case something with doors
. Most people usually don't even know the device is there, so the best thing is to disable it anyway.
Also when Windows display this crazy message, they also push our window to the background, so fixing this will fix both problems.
I'll check the export - you are exporting loops? It should definitely be instant.
Please keep enjoying!

Thanks on the promised fix.
Exporting loops and midi - one or the other. Still a noob on the M Drummer, but after coming up with patterns I like, i waned to export the midi so I could tune in the drums the way I wanted (replace a snare with a different, lower the kick tuning...). Again, that is one of the issues where the windows popping up in background and stuff made it hard.

The windows are poping in background?? Ok, please tell me more about your system and host, so I can check by myself. Also would it be possible to make some screenvideo and send it to me via info@meldaproduction.com?
