Bandstand with fruity loops/ midi problem

Hi.

I installed bandstand and have tried running it a few ways.

The first was with fruity loops as a VST plugin. This didn't work, so I tried exporting the fruity loops piano rolls as midi files. The problem with this method is that I have a piano sound in the background of any sound playing (midi file in bandstand).

I don't have piano or any sound activated in fruity loops before I exported the midi file. This also happens when I do a similar thing with cakewalk.

Any suggestions?

I would really like to use bandstand in real time in a sequencing program. If anyone knows how to do this please let me know. I have absynth, FM8 and massive running real time in fruity loops but can't get bandstand to work.

Cheers.
