Thanks much Mark... I'll investigate this weekend. Henry p.s., my card is NOT a usb device (apologies here, as I should have said it is the MiaMIDI card, made by Echo Audio. There are i/o ports for midi/S/PDIF/analogue in the back, both on the card & a set of wires w/ plugs; phono & standard midi). If this makes any difference in the assessment I would definitely appreciate hearing about this. Thanks again. On Sat, 2008-08-09 at 11:34 +1000, Mark Constable wrote: > On 2008-08-09, Henry W.
