That's OK for my needs as it works fine with my little M-Audio USB interface. It's expensive and heavy. Both are probably not to your liking. One thing you didn't mention in your requirements list was MIDI zones. I find them very helpful myself as traditionally Linux MIDI didn't have good software to do this. Not sure of the recent status of that sort of thing but it's nice on my 88 key unit to be able to send a few octaves to a different synth. - Mark _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
