Yeah, they require the synth module, unfortunately, you can't just plug the Roland pickup into a MIDI IN on a sound card. THAT would be uber cool... It looks like Intelliscore also does real-time conversion, so you can control a MIDI with an analog instrument. Unfortunately, it only runs on Windows. -- Brett
