Hi Jim,

At present all sounds are from the SD1000, so no RealTracks.

At home I may link the SD1000 back into my Focusrite box, but I need to get a cable and I was hoping to reduce the number of boxes and leads, not increase them (*).

(*) I have a Q49 keyboard on my boat and have been trying to reduce the stuff I carry and use on board. I'd hoped to have just a notepad PC. Then I'd hoped for that plus the Focusrite, then the PC plus the SD1000 (but there's no USB sound on that). All three plus plug-tops, cables, headphones/speaker is a small nightmare of boxes and a rats-nest of cables. It would also be a mess on stage. I considered one of the Ketron arrangers, but the documentation is sparse or absent, the power consumption is quite high for the boat and it's yet more money with no guarantees.

I'm now working on a design for a small, 12V-powerable, semi-autonomous, midi-synth+arranger, which hopefully will allow me to get most of this clutter down to one small portable box.
