MD-BT01 and the GM40

Has anyone gotten the MD-BT01 to work with the GM40 yet? If so, can someone tell me how? I purcased the MD-BT01 because the WM-1 is still on backorder via Sweetwater, and I am impatient.... lol

But when I plug in the MD-BT01, it won't power up at all.. No lights, nothing..... Anyone have any suggestions as to why this is happening?

Hey xmuddis I know this is an old post but hoping you have since sorted this out. I’m having the same problem and can’t get the MD-BT01 to work. No power lights, no connection or anything. Any advice? Thank you

This sounds as though it could be caused by some incompatibility in the phantom power feature which it should use? I can't really see why.

Standard MIDI supplies +5V on pin 4 of the amp's Out socket (interface's In socket) as in the case of the MD-BT01. The GM36 (so presumably the GM40D) supplies that through the usual 220R resistor. The H&K system for powering the FSM432 is usually to supply +22V on the additional 2 pins, (6 & 7), of the MIDI In socket on the amp.

It would seem that you have power for the interface so it has to be something simple. Have you got the plugs in the correct sockets? The interface Out should go into the amp In and vice versa.
