So today E-MU makes an announcement.

The new one is class-compliant, plug 'n play, no drivers needed, but apparently they have drivers for "multiclient support" -- I guess that means having two or more MIDI programs open at the same time. That would be cool with the PGMusic Drag 'n Drop feature.

Thirty bucks.
