@danDon715 There are some inbuilt drumsets in Garageband,but they dont sound as good as SD2. Just get a midi cable and a external soundcard with midi in and connect it then it should work. Atleast it did for me. But if u cant afford Sd2 i would recomend ezdrums/drumkit from hell. Its much cheaper and is really good,yet again nothing is as good as superior 2. But all the ez drum programs are from toontrack so u know its quality!

hi does ur firebox runs on win7?thank u
@1200xjr hi, the USB should be fine though I haven't tried it. Anything that's dedicated to audio recording that isn't built into the laptop should be fine. I had to buy my MIDI cable separately.

I have been asked:
"does the firebox handle and decode the midi signal or does it forward the signal to the mac"
My answer:
The MIDI connection to the firebox means that the Yamaha kit can send MIDI signals (digital) to the CPU. The CPU interprets the MIDI signal as 'note C3' for example which might be mapped to the snare. The CPU loads the digital snare sound file from RAM and sends it to the firebox to be converted to analog.
