Lee, I am coming from a Windows environement where MIDI and such just "works" . The screen capture was just doing the aconnect from the command window with no other app running. Ultimately I'd like to be running some algo software like KeyKit generating the MIDI and directing it to the soundcanvas, or using some utlility like pmidi to play an existing midi file through the soundcanvas. Joystick port - at this point I am unsure of most anything. In this machine's previous life as a Win ME machine it did work, though with a different soundcard. thanks, Phil J.
