Just tried on my laptop and it works fine. Need to ProSound my Mega Drive!
Pro sound? Crystal clear audio mod? I don't think they need to be modded unless you have a model 2 or the model 1 with the crappy board rev
When I get my hand on a GenMDM I will fusion it with DefleMask in a very pro way.
OH GAWD MAH BALLS
I've updated the GenMDM tools for Max for Live.
The updates include:
• A new GUI for the FM editor
• Added a "data dump" button that can be pressed in the GUI or it can be activated by sending a note-on 127
• The idea with the data dump is that multiple MIDI tracks in Live with different settings can be fed into the one GenMDM MIDI channel - and settings can be dumped dynamically as a song plays back• Increased reliability / stability
• Fixed a bug that caused delays at times with MIDI data
• Fixed a bug that caused dropouts at times with MIDI data

I finally got my GEN MDM through! YES!
I'm having some problems with the Max for Live devices though, they keep crashing. Has anyone had a similar problem?
Symptoms:
I set up the devices as they should be (on MIDI tracks routed to GEN MDM) and tweak the knobs. No change in audio. If I click on "FM OP 2" (tabs on a blank window in the Global Strip) then Live eventually crashes/beachballs.
Anyone got any advice? I can't wait to play with this properly.
I uninstalled/reinstalled Max + Ableton and it's still happening. I haven't been able to alter the sound via Max For Live devices at all.

Please try the new versions of the GenMDM tools and let me know if this still happens!
Great project little-scale, I really hope another batch of these is made available for purchase soon! Would be great to put my old Megadrive to some use in my studio, it's an asian model 1 megadrive which I held onto for having pretty decent sound quality.

Hi Seb, thanks again for making this. You're a true genius.
I tried the new versions on my main computer. Still no joy. Then I tried them on my laptop and they worked great! Had a really fun session last night creating drum beats on Channel 6. Everything was editable & worked relatively well.
Then, today I open my laptop and the same symptoms persist. On the laptop this time!
It may be to do with my set up – I'm running OS X 10.8.
When it doesn't work, the center panel of the Channel strip is empty. When it works it has the knobs. I tried restarting, uninstalling/reinstalling etc. It may be my ignorance, but I can't seem to find what I'm doing differently when it fails.
I'm working on it for the next few hours, so I'll let you know if I get anywhere.
The fact that I'm alone with this problem suggests the problem is on my end maybe.
I spent a few minutes last night mounting the cartridge in an old Sonic 1 case. Looks cool. I'm thinking I may solder the joypad interface inside the Mega Drive, so there's just a USB plug in the back of the console. Should be fairly simple to do, just solder wires from the pins of the (atmega?) chip to the joypad solder points on the MD motherboard.
Thanks again man!

!
Maybe its permissions thing? Where are the files being run from? Mountain Lion blows.
ableton in general blows. kinda buggy on a crack, always has been. and yeah i know i should pay for it, but i dont have 400 bucks to buy it...if i did have 400 bucks, i wouldnt have it long cos id probably buy hardware gears with it and still use a crack.....i have no morals.
anyhow, i downloadedthe updated M4L stuffs, they work a charm for me on 8.2.2 SAFE !
got mine! woooot,
and glad i never updated to 10.8 
Pro sound? Crystal clear audio mod? I don't think they need to be modded unless you have a model 2 or the model 1 with the crappy board rev
Sorry, I meant Crystal Clear Audio mod for my Mega Drive 2. Today I got a MD1 with a VA4 board so I'm in business.
I have fixed all the problems I've been having! Sometimes my idiocy is astounding. It turns out that I had neglected to install the *.maxpat files that little-scale supplied, thinking that only installing the *.amxd are needed in Live's "Max MIDI Effect" folder.
No idea why I thought this, but I did.
Silly me.
Thanks to everyone who helped, I feel like a dunce – but on the other hand I'm now making some really nice sounds. Apologies for taking up so much space on the thread.
Kudos to Little-Scale, thanks again! Can't wait to hear what everyone produces with this amazing bit of kit.

I got in one of the last orders.. did everybody get theirs or are there still some waiting? I emailed directly but got no response.... I moved in mid August and want to make sure the package isn't lost in the mail.
Can't wait for this!
I paid in April and I'm still waiting. I don't mind the wait at all.
ok cool.. I don't mind the wait either.. just making sure I didn't miss out on the shipments with my address change.
Oh hey, MKE.. that's where I moved from.
Why in the world would you do such a thing? What part of town?
Hey, everybody has received their interfaces?
I'm willing to do a PURE GENMDM GENESIS HARDWARE FREQUENCY MODULATION COMP MOTHERFUCKER and release it through Chippanze.org. Anybody up for that?
