Hello Noel, Know what you mean about midi piano sounding good. Because even in decades gone by there was even some good stuff in my K2500R. The Young Chang Grand was pretty nice. But I haven't got my midi guitar up an running yet. Got all the stuff but having trouble with the installation of a us made floating humbucker on the same instrument. I can imagine how much sampling technology has improved. But it still all has to come down to 24 little bits!!I'Ive been away from it for about 10 years. For this kind of equipment it would be like getting out of jail after 50 years and going to a high end music store.

I will try your suggestions when I get up and running w/ the midi stuff. Do you know if a MOTU Midi timepiece AV is still compatible with current midi specs?

Thank you very much for your time.

Ron
