Hi Guitarhacker,

I think the Monitor is a write off, but the cause, I don't know. I do have surge suppression in place but this hasn't registered anything.

I do have a number of internal and external synths with thousands of younger samples, however, I still find that I have some sounfonts which work better is some circustances. Horses for courses.

Thanks for the web address will look at it soonest - hopefully today. This problem is the least of my concerns at the moment as my wife has been taken to Hospital for various exrays and MRI scans. Perhaps they could sort out the Soundcard at the same time.
