Alesis DM Lite USB-MIDI disconnecintg
Recently picked up an Alesis DM Lite kit (new 2013 model electronic drum kit from Alesis with USB-MIDI out). I plugged the module into my Mac Book Pro using a USB cable I typically use for my Korg controller (I know the cable is good).
Here is the problem behavior (this is consistently happening)
I lunched Garage Band X, create a new empty project and add a new software instrument. I assign a drum kit to the software instrument and hit the pads (I hear nothing). I go into Preferences for GarageBand and select Audio settings and invoke the "Reset MIDI drivers" option. Once this process clears I am able to tap on the pads of my kit and hear the expected sounds triggering properly for each pad. The problem is this only last for a short while (usually less than a minute) then the sound stops and I have to go back into settins and invoke "Reset MIDI drivers" once again.
