I want to be able to play something like my Oberheim Matrix-1000 (it has got a special guitar synth mode), http://www.vintagesynth.com/oberheim/mat1000.php directly via MIDI, without the need to use a PC via USB. A computer used via USB would add MIDI jitter, but even if there should be no issue regarding jitter, I want hardware that doesn't require usage of a PC.
