Gary - you rock! Thank you for the info. Looks like there's a Ketron in my future.

Now I have one more detail - the MIDI-USB interface. Right now I don't have a MIDI interface. I do have an e-Mu 0202 for an audio interface and I have finally mastered that. Works great, pretty quiet, but 1-channel audio only and it ties up one of my 3 available USB ports. I was thinking of upgrading the e-Mu 0202 to the 0404 with MIDI, and use that as the MIDI support for the Ketron. I'm thinking about fewer connections and less power draw on the laptop. That should work, right?

I'm also considering the Edirol Firewire (FA-66) interface, which would support both MIDI and audio through the FW port.
Any thoughts on that? Would the FW connection pose potential a potential problem with the Ketron where it's looking for a USB?

Many thanks to you and the entire PG community. I've made more progess since the first of the year than my first 3 years with BIAB. Much is owed to the RB integration - it changed my who workflow (for the considerably better!).
